Startup Training

Bold Technologies provides free training with the purchase of each piece of equipment a the time of equipment startup. This training is usually done on-site with your maintenance, technicians, operators, process and equipment engineers. This training consists of :

  Equipment Startup,
  Maintenance, and
  Operator Training

To schedule startup training please call us at (801) 568-7300 weekdays, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm MST or send us an e-mail. Please include your name, phone number, company name, equipment serial number, and desired startup dates. Your training schedule will be verified by phone or e-mail.

The following outline highlights the training you may receive depending upon the equipment you are being trained on. Your trainer may not follow this exact outline; however, the topics will be covered by your trainer.

Equipment Startup

Attended by Process and Equipment Engineers

Equipment Startup Training consists of Equipment Facilitation and Verification, Controller Setup and Programming, and Parameter Changes and Process Tuning.

Equipment Facilitation and Verification  

 

The equipment is checked to insure that it has been properly connected to the facilities. This includes verification of:

  Electrical Power
  DI Water
  CDA
  N2
  City Water (if applicable)
  Dedicated Chemical Drains
  Plenum Drains
  Exhaust Connections and Damper Settings
  DI Reclaim System (if applicable)
  Bulk or House Chemical Feed Systems (if applicable)
  House Vacuum (if applicable).

Controller Setup and Programming  

  Controllers are setup using your parameters and the equipment is tested for functionality. A detailed explanation is given for each programmable parameter as part of the training. Since Controllers and Control Systems vary a detailed description is not provided here. The training is customized to the specific piece of equipment.

Parameter Changes and Process Tuning  

  The parameters settings are discussed and the ranges for each parameter is explained. You are shown how to make changes to the process parameters, times, and settings. Also you will be taught how to password protect these parameters and setting to avoid inadvertent changes.

Maintenance Training

Attended by Maintenance Personnel and Technicians

Maintenance Training consist of the following categories: Electrical Systems, Control Systems, Pneumatics and Robotics, Plumbing and Pump Maintenance, Routine Maintenance and Filter Changes, Alarms and System Troubleshooting, and Equipment Shutdown and Startup. This training is designed to prepare your personnel to effectively maintain and troubleshoot the equipment. This insures the quickest response and repair for you when your service technicians can quickly resolve a problem on site.

Electrical Systems  

  The electrical control systems are reviewed along with schematics to familiarize technicians with the wiring of the equipment. Locations of breakers, terminals, relays and other components is covered.

Control Systems  

  Control systems are reviewed along with the troubleshooting techniques to help pinpoint and fix a problem. Input and outputs, machine control logic, and sensors are reviewed.

Pneumatics and Robotics (if applicable)  

 

Pneumatic systems and controls are reviewed. Location of pneumatic valves, solenoids, and plumbing schematics are reviewed to familiarize you with how pneumatics are used within the equipment.

Robotic systems may also be covered, along with recommended maintenance and troubleshooting. Most robotic systems combine electrical, and pneumatic systems to provide motion and feedback to the equipment.


Plumbing and Pump Maintenance  

  Plumbing schematics are review and recommended pump maintenance, rebuilding, and replacement schedules are discussed.

Routine Maintenance and Filter Changes  

  Chemical changes, filter changes and bulk fill systems (if applicable) are covered along with applicable techniques for pre-wetting filters (if required), and system troubleshooting.

Alarms and System Troubleshooting  

  The equipment alarms states are covered along with recommended procedures to troubleshoot and clear the alarms. Overall system troubleshooting is discussed.

Equipment Shutdown and Startup  

  Emergency shutdown and restarting procedures are discussed. Technicians are shown how to properly shutdown the equipment and startup the equipment in the event of a shutdown or need for transport or storage.

Operator Training

Attended by Equipment Operators.

This training is focused on the operator function for the day-to-day operation of the equipment.

Station Operation and Cleaning  

  You will be taught how to operate and maintain the station. Station cleaning and basic operation of the equipment will be covered. The various functional features will be pointed out.

Control Operator Interface  

  You will be instructed on the proper use of the control system including recipe selection, remote start/stop, indicator lights and normal operating conditions.

Alarms Conditions and Responses  

  We will train you regarding the system alarms, how to silence the alarms, the level of severity of the different alarms, and what you can do to clear the alarms. Alarm conditions may require additional attention from maintenance or service personnel.

Emergency Shutdown  

  You will be instructed and shown what to do in case of an emergency. How to rapidly shutdown the equipment and the location of the Emergency Power Off (EPO) switch(s).

Additional On-Site Training

Bold Technologies can provide additional on-site training at your facility after startup. This may be required to train new operators, maintenance personnel, of equipment engineers on our equipment. This training is customized to your equipment and specific need. Please contact us if you require a quote or would like additional information on our on-site training.

Additional Factory Training

This training is primarily focused on equipment maintenance and repair. Advanced troubleshooting techniques, electrical and pneumatic repair, and routine maintenance are covered. Operator and engineer training can also be provided at the factory by special arrangement. Please contact us if you require a quote or would like additional information on our factory training.

If you have a special training needs or requirements or you do not see the training you require listed above, please contact us.
