All about the profession of a mechanic for the repair of technological installations

Practically in any branch of industry - the most developed and ramified sphere of production - thousands of people of various specializations will find their use. Including locksmiths for the repair of technological installations. Let's find out what this specialist is, what he does in the workplace, where he studies in order to get admission to work.

It should be noted right away that Technician repair technician is one of the purely blue-collar occupations... Such a specialist is involved in many manipulations with the production infrastructure. The work of a repairer of the main equipment of an enterprise implies:

• disassembly and assembly of equipment;
• diagnostics of individual units and details;
• repair of various mechanisms;
• similar manipulations with pipelines and valves;
• maintaining the operability of electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic inputs and outputs.

The level of professional skill of a locksmith worker is assessed by the category - the higher it is, the more experienced and valuable the specialist is. In addition, the rank of a locksmith determines the exact range of work that he will perform. But in most cases, this includes the following jobs:

• plumbing of various components;
• markup for subsequent processing;
• washing, cleaning of parts;
• applying lubricant;
• drilling holes in flanges;
• work with thread on pipes;
• delivery of the work performed under the mark in the acceptance certificate.

The only difference is that for a locksmith of the 5th grade, the task will be much more difficult and responsible than for an employee who has, for example, the 3rd grade.

To obtain a 4 or 5 grade, a locksmith must know for sure:

• current orders for the organization;
• all regulations relating to his industry;
• norms for safe and effective repair work;
• technical conditions for repair, test manipulations with equipment;
• basic PPR requirements;
• systems of tolerances and landings;
• qualities, roughness parameters;
• methods of cleaning equipment and preparing it for work;

• general equipment operation technology;
• device, purpose and methods of operation of instrumentation and automation systems;
• rules for the operation of the equipment used;
• physical and chemical properties of the substances used, raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products;
• personnel actions in emergency situations;
• first aid rules.

The main job responsibilities of a mechanic for the repair of technological installations are:

• testing of especially complex or critical machines, components and assemblies (independently or in conjunction with other specialists);
• flushing and cleaning of parts;
• lubrication of working mechanisms;
• cutting and dressing of threads at pipe joints;
• removal and installation of back-safety and control systems;
• preparation of the serviced equipment for inspection and its implementation;
• slinging of goods (if there is a tolerance);
• scraping parts;
• work with pneumatic, electrical, hydraulic devices;
• work with shutter, control and safety valves.

At level 2, the locksmith should already be ready to work with particularly complex technological systems, which can only be disassembled and repaired using special mechanisms. He needs to be ready for manipulations with a tense and even tight fit of technological units.

Common jobs at this level are:

• repair of the body of machines and mechanisms without heat treatment;
• assembly of ventilation ducts;

• regulation, preparation for operation of compressors;
• scraping of bearing shells;
• testing of smoke exhausters, screens, granulating equipment and ball mills;

6th grade specialist assembles and centers gearboxes in air coolers. If there is a granulator on the site, the locksmith rejects its parts, repairs and assembles the drive head, centers the electric motor and the knife support. In drum vacuum filters, you need to be able to change intermediate bearing shells, repair faceplates, and adjust distribution heads. And then - to hand over the finished device into operation.

In centrifugal compressors, a locksmith repairs labyrinth seals and balances the rotor. He adjusts, regulates and tests gas-engine compressors. In production, a locksmith also has to repair and hydraulically test waste heat boilers. If a plant uses lens seals on pipelines, they need to be repaired periodically.
