Hydraulic Mill Relining Machine Operation And Maintenance Training

Learning Outcomes

• Demonstrate the ability to conduct pre-start inspections and identify potential hazards on hydraulic mill relining machines.
• Apply correct operational procedures to safely and efficiently perform mill relining tasks.
• Implement routine maintenance schedules and perform basic troubleshooting on hydraulic systems.
• Evaluate machine performance and diagnose common faults using manufacturer specifications.
• Analyze safety risks associated with mill relining and apply appropriate control measures.
• Demonstrate compliance with relevant health, safety, and environmental regulations during operations.

Target Audience

Mill operators, maintenance technicians, and supervisors responsible for relining operations in mining and mineral processing plants. The course is also suitable for engineering trainees and safety officers seeking specialized knowledge.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment. However, learners should be physically fit and able to work in an industrial environment.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practical sessions are essential for learners to develop safe and efficient operation and maintenance skills on hydraulic mill relining machines. These sessions allow learners to apply theoretical knowledge in a controlled environment, perform pre-operational checks, operate the machine, and conduct routine maintenance under supervision.

Practical Activities

• Pre-Operational Inspection and Start-Up — Learners perform a full pre-operational inspection of the hydraulic mill relining machine, including fluid levels, hose condition, and safety devices, then safely start up the machine. (3h)
• Basic Machine Operation — Learners operate the machine controls to manipulate the arm and gripper, practicing lifting, positioning, and installing dummy liners in a simulated mill environment. (5h)
• Routine Maintenance and Fluid Sampling — Learners perform routine maintenance tasks including lubrication, filter replacement, and hydraulic fluid sampling, following manufacturer specifications. (4h)
• Fault Finding and Troubleshooting — Learners diagnose pre-set faults (e.g., pressure loss, slow movement) using diagnostic tools and perform corrective actions under supervision. (4h)

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.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
