Training

Sealing System Solutions

Last year Zerelli put on two training sessions; one in Chicago, IL and the other in Greenville, SC.  Both sessions were well attended and will serve as a roadmap to future training sessions.  No new dates have been determined at this point but we have settled on one central location in Chicago (listed below).  For planning purposes, the next tentative date is in April, 2010 (possibly the 13th or 14th).  They will be one day sessions and will cover topics such as:

• Seal basics and seal design
• Cost drivers related to production of seals
• Extending seal life
• Materials and material selection
• Handling and installation (best practices)
• Industry specifications - RMA (Rubber Manufacturers Association) guidelines
• Sealing system failure analysis
• Value added solutions 

Who should attend?

• Design engineers
• Manufacturing engineers
• Plant engineers
• Application engineers
• Quality personnel
• Purchasing agents interested in gaining more technical knowledge regarding the sealing system.

Learning objectives

Upon completion of this seminar you will have a better understanding of:

• Seal selection, and selecting the proper seal material for an application.
• What drives the cost in seal manufacturing.
• What can be done to extend seal life.
• The sealing system and all of its components and how they affect seal performance.
• Problem solving skills and failure analysis.

Dates and locations:

2010 dates TBD (Most likey April 13th or 14th)

9:30am - 4:00pm (Networking breakfast at 9:00am)

Location

The Metropolitan Club (67th floor, Sears Tower)

Register

There is no cost for the training.  We only ask that you come with the willingness to learn and provide us the opportunity to help you improve your current sealing system.  Additionally, if you'd like us to come in and provide onsite training for your employees, we can work out something that works well for everyone.  Space is limited so please register early.
