Pre And Post Treatment Machine Unwind Unit Maintenance Training

Learning Outcomes

• Demonstrate the correct procedures for isolating and locking out the unwind unit before maintenance.
• Apply systematic inspection techniques to identify wear, misalignment, or damage in unwind components.
• Perform routine lubrication and tension adjustment according to manufacturer specifications.
• Analyze common fault symptoms (e.g., web breaks, vibration) to diagnose root causes.
• Evaluate the condition of brakes, clutches, and sensors, and replace them when necessary.
• Implement a preventive maintenance schedule and document all maintenance activities.

Target Audience

This course is designed for maintenance technicians, machine operators, and engineering staff responsible for the upkeep of unwind units in textile, paper, or packaging industries.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practicals are essential for learners to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world unwind unit maintenance. Learners will perform inspections, adjustments, and repairs on training rigs under supervision, reinforcing safety and procedural skills.

Practical Activities

• Safety and Basic Inspection — Learners conduct a safety walk-down, perform lockout/tagout, and complete a pre-maintenance inspection checklist on an unwind unit. (3h)
• Pre-Treatment Maintenance — Learners clean rollers, adjust tension control, and replace a worn brake pad on a pre-treatment unwind unit. (4h)
• Post-Treatment Maintenance and Troubleshooting — Learners diagnose a simulated fault (e.g., web misalignment), perform post-treatment cleaning, and replace a damaged core chuck. (4h)
• Integrated Maintenance Cycle and Assessment — Learners perform a full maintenance cycle on an unwind unit, from inspection to final testing, under timed assessment conditions. (5h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.
