Webinars

Monday 19 July 2021 from 16 to 18 h

In collaboration with Interempresas   

Topic: Solutions for machining companies to find that added value that differentiates them from the rest in a very competitive sector.

Training objective: 

Machining companies have been finding their way to resist in an increasingly competitive sector and, since the beginning of 2020, it has been hit like so many others by the pandemic. Flexibility and adaptability is one of the advantages of the Spanish industrial fabric, which is made up of many small companies. But it is advisable to draw up a plan, to aim for a medium- and long-term objective so as not to miss a train that is passing faster and faster and from which it is not difficult to be left out.

In this context, it is very important to keep abreast of innovations and proposals from suppliers, whose aim is precisely to help their customers find added value in jobs where margins are under pressure. At this event, attendees will receive exclusive information on how to get more out of the equipment they have, advances in machines that will make them more productive, innovations in tools and the growing importance of digitisation and process automation.

Speakers companies: HEXAGON, KROMI, SANDWIK y FUCHS

Key points of the presentation: Connectivity in the industry of the future; Tool Management in Industry 4.0; Solutions for digitalisation in the machining industry and FUCHS FluidsConnect: let your lubricant talks.

Aimed at:  Managers and maintenance staff, industrial refrigeration engineers, equipment manufacturers.

Thursday 12 November 2020 from 5 to 6 pm

FUCHS & AEFYT  (Association of refrigeration companies and their technologies)

Topic: Industrial refrigeration and cooling lubricants.

Training objective: 

• Main recommended lubricants for the most widely used gases in the coming years, natural and A2L
• Properties of refrigeration oils and equipment they are intended for
• Most relevant control variables to be taken into account when monitoring in-service products, mainly systems involving very high oil loads with a strong impact on the operating cost of the unit and its availability.
• Description of particular field experiences.

Key points of the presentation: Refrigeration compressor performance and service life, key issues for interaction of the refrigerant gas with the lubricant and new low GWP refrigerants

Aimed at:  Managers and maintenance staff, industrial refrigeration engineers, equipment manufacturers.

Tuesday 17 November 2020 from 4 to 5 pm

Topic: Transport of metal parts and their corrosion protection

Training objective: 

• To learn about the most common causes of oxidation of metal parts
• To understand why corrosion occurs sporadically and sometimes seems even random
• To find out about the solutions provided by correct packaging design 

Key points of the presentation: Most common causes of corrosion, more sustainable packaging with less plastic and recyclable systems. VCI products and desiccants.

Aimed at:  Quality, Production, Safety and Environmental Managers in the metalworking industry.

Wednesday 18 November 2020 from 4 to 5 pm

Topic: Reliability and efficiency of hydraulic circuits

Training objective: 

To present the new developments in hydraulic fluids with the incorporation of new lubricant bases and new additives and their impact on:

• The reliability of hydraulic circuits with special emphasis on increasing the service life of the circuits
• The performance and increased productivity of these circuits through increased energy efficiency
• Reducing the carbon footprint by improving energy efficiency

Key points of the presentation: Energy efficiency, reliability of circuits and service life of circuit components.

Aimed at:  Plant, Production and Maintenance Managers in the metalworking industry, with special emphasis on automotive components with hot and cold forming processes.

Thursday 19 November 2020 from 4 to 5 pm

Topic: Formulations with the latest technology and more sustainable packaging 

Training objective: 

To help the entire automotive industry reduce its carbon footprint and emissions through proven fuel economy. 

• Lube Cube: new 100% recyclable packaging for the FUCHS Silkolene motorbike range*
• XP and XTL technology: engine oils that promote fuel economy and generate lower emissions
• Developing the future: lubricants for hybrid vehicles and special products for electric vehicles - FUCHSBluEV

*Reducing single-use plastic packaging is important. In addition to the obvious environmental reasons, it will in future be penalised by a new tax being considered under the Waste and Contaminated Land Act.

Key points of the presentation: emission reduction and fuel economy, green transition, sustainable packaging, hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles

Aimed at: Managers of motorbike, car and heavy vehicle workshops; Fleet Managers and Purchasing Managers, and companies distributing automotive lubricant products.

Tuesday 1 December 2020 from 4.30 pm to 5.30 pm

FUCHS & CNTA (National Centre for Food Technology)

Topic: Food safety, accidental contamination and the dangers of mineral oils

Introduction:

Accidental contamination caused by hydrocarbons from mineral oils present in machinery lubricants, packaging, food additives, etc. (toxic contaminants MOAH, MOSH and POSH) can put consumers' health at risk.

In the next CNTA webinar, 'Toxic Contaminants MOAH, MOSH & POSH: What they are, dangers and how to avoid them', to be held on 1 December at 4.30 pm, we will discuss the effect of these contaminants, how to prevent them and current legislation. 

Programme: 

Hosted by: Begoña Fernández, Business Manager at the CNTA

• What mineral oil hydrocarbon contaminants are, how they affect health and how to avoid them (FUCHS)
• Current legislation on contaminants MOAH/MOSH/POSH and analytical detection techniques (CNTA)
• Discussion: Safety management systems and testing routines.
• Q&A

Aimed at:  Heads of Quality and Maintenance Departments, especially in the food packaging industry
