Compressor Mechanics School
Our product trainers have designed a real "hands-on" course for experienced operators, mechanics and service technicians, who will be responsible for the maintenance of Ariel reciprocating compressors. This school is open to those students who have attended either a Basic Product Training course (either at our facility or taught at your location as a On-Site Field Basic course) or the Technical School. Students who have not participated in either of these Ariel product training courses will be required to take a pre-requisite test. A test score of at least 80% is required. The test is offered, upon request. Should a student score less than 80%, we will recommend they attend the Basic (or Field Basic) Product Training course, or Techncial School.
Students will have hands-on experience checking and setting clearances, pressure testing lubrication divider blocks, disassemble and reassemble packings and a variable volume clearance pocket, on a JGK/2 Ariel compressor. Classroom training will include: bolting and torque, lubrication, maintenance intervals, start-up checklist, and bearings; also how to use the Ariel Performance software. Students must provide their own steel-toe leather footwear during the "hands-on" portion of this school. Athletic steel –toe footwear is not allowed. Class size is limited to 10 students who are qualified.
Ariel product training is available exclusively for Ariel customers and their employees--Ariel Distributors, Ariel Packagers, and Ariel End Users who own, lease, and service Ariel equipment. Ariel Corporation does not charge a fee for training held at our manufacturing facility in Mount Vernon, Ohio.
This course runs four and a half days, Monday – Thursday 8 am-4:30 pm; and Friday 8 am-11 am ET. To receive Ariel's "Certificate of Participation" students must attend the full four and one-half day session. Course dates are subject to change.
