The Department of Mechanical Engineering organized a 52-hour program on Maintenance engineering: Theory and Industrial Practices in association with sessions on in association with Finolex Industries Limited, Ratnagiri for the 125 final year Mechanical Engineering students.
Maintenance Engineering Laboratory Course for B.E. consists of condition monitoring, machine fault detection, diagnosis, and prognosis. In view to impart practical exposure to the students, Mr. B N Jadhav, General Manager (Central Engg. Services), Finolex Industries Limited was invited to conduct the course. The mechanical maintenance issues such as – unbalancing, misalignment, bearing defects and mechanical looseness were addressed in detail through theory sessions conducted in the institute. The practical exposure was given during the industrial visit at Finolex industries to demonstrate the maintenance practices related to above mentioned issues. The maintenance staff demonstrated the mechanical components used in machineries.
During theory sessions, the following aspects were covered:
- Types of vibrations and causes of vibrations
- Different ways of vibration measurement
- Equipment’s used for vibration measurement and their interpretation.
- Case studies of fault diagnostics using mechanical vibrations for components like Bearing, Gear box, pumps etc.
During industrial visit, students visited the following sections to get familiar with actual industrial practices:
- O&U section
- VCM Section
- PVC section
In context with above sections, Students were able to understand functioning of a variety of pumps, boilers, compressors, valves, bearings and other mechanical equipment along with working of – air separation unit, cooling tower and water conditioning unit. The students get acquainted with condition monitoring, fault diagnosis and maintenance engineering related practices followed by the industries.
