TRAINING
We are passionate about advancing knowledge through educational support that provides measurable benefits for our clients as well as their customers.

SAMCO offers various courses which can be customized to enhance workforce competency by providing engineers, plant operators, maintenance personnel, and anyone else who is involved in the design, selection, installation and maintenance of pumping systems, with a fundamental understanding of the different types of centrifugal pumps and systems available, as well their applications.One of the problems that the industry faces today is that younger engineers are expected to know everything concerning pumps and pumping problems, however, this generally only comes with years of experience. In our training programmes, our certified trainers work with learners to share their accumulated experience using both theoretical and practical training methods.

The pump training programmes have been formulated by combining the practical experiences that we have been encountered in the sugar, paper and chemical process industries in the past to provide a comprehensive overview of all aspects of centrifugal pumps, from selection right through to troubleshooting.
