Who are SIEMPELKAMP training courses suitable for?

The training courses are suitable for operating personnel, shift supervisors, maintenance staff, process and quality teams, and employees who are new to working on a plant. Experienced teams also benefit when processes are to be standardized, new plants are taken over, or recurring fault patterns are to be systematically reduced.

Can the training courses take place directly at the plant?

Yes. Many training courses are conducted on site so that content can be demonstrated and practiced directly on the real plant or machine. Digital sessions, compact theory units, or hybrid formats are also possible as a supplement. The combination of fundamentals, live demonstration, and practical exercises in the plant environment is particularly effective.

What is the difference between a training course and a workshop?

A training course conveys structured knowledge on clearly defined topics, such as operating sequences, maintenance routines, or safety processes. A workshop is more dialog- and solution-oriented: here, specific questions from operation are analyzed together, for example malfunctions, quality deviations, or optimization potential.

What evidence do participants receive after a training course?

We are happy to issue certificates of attendance for each person, supplemented by the agenda, training documents, checklists, short guides, or photo documentation. If required, competence profiles, knowledge tests, or pre- and post-checks can be integrated to make learning progress and practical transfer easier to understand.

How can learning success be verified after a SIEMPELKAMP training course or continuing education?

On request, we integrate pre- and post-checks that make learning progress and practical transfer measurable. A compact knowledge test at the end of the training course is also possible. Which option makes didactic sense depends on the training objective and format – we recommend the appropriate approach in the preliminary discussion.

Knowledge that makes a difference in plant operation – SIEMPELKAMP training and continuing education for your teams

Machines, plants, and processes are becoming more powerful, more complex, and more digital. To ensure this potential is realized in day-to-day operations, you need teams that understand your plant, operate it safely, and respond quickly and correctly when irregularities occur.

With the SIEMPELKAMP training and continuing education program for the areas of wood-based material and press technology, energy and drying plants, crane technology, recycling, and automation, we provide operating personnel, maintenance, and process teams with exactly this knowledge – practical and directly applicable in day-to-day operation.

We develop our workshops, training courses, and continuing education offerings based on your real application cases, not on a rigid curriculum. We tailor content, didactic structure, and depth to role, level of experience, and plant environment – delivered on site, digitally, or in hybrid form. This creates learning moments that stick because they connect to your team’s concrete experience.

Who trains what? SIEMPELKAMP training & continuing education in the specialist and product areas

Within the SIEMPELKAMP Group, each area passes on the knowledge it applies itself every day. A central training coordination function brings together content, dates, and subject-matter experts so that, regardless of your point of entry, you have a uniform access route – with technical depth where it actually arises.

Training for drying and energy plants

Drying and energy plants place high demands on operation, safety, and process understanding. Energy & Drying conducts practical on-site training, for example on problem management, safe plant operation, and optimization of thermal processes. These training courses are particularly valuable where energy use, product quality, and plant availability are closely interconnected.

Training courses for size-reduction technology

Correct handling of size-reduction machines and plants is a key factor for safety and service life. Size Reduction trains operating personnel specifically in error-free handling, basic maintenance, and safety-relevant aspects – both as internal qualification and as product-related training for operators.

More safety and efficiency in wood-based material production

Whether press line, forming line, material preparation, or plant peripherals: well-trained teams detect deviations earlier and act more safely in day-to-day operation. Our training courses for wood-based material plants combine technical plant knowledge with concrete tasks from operation, maintenance, and process optimization. The training is adapted to the respective plant environment and the participants’ level of knowledge. This makes knowledge immediately usable and helps reduce downtime, stabilize processes, and ensure reliable production quality.

Your benefits with SIEMPELKAMP training & continuing education at a glance

Well-trained employees are one of the most effective levers for safety, performance, and availability. With SIEMPELKAMP machine training, your team develops a shared understanding of how a plant works and why it reacts in a certain way.

Building operating competence

Your teams practice operating, start-up, and release processes in exactly the way they are needed in day-to-day plant operation. This reduces operating errors, strengthens safety in standard situations, and creates more calm when processes deviate from normal operation.

Sharpening diagnostic capability

Typical fault patterns, process deviations, and plant reactions are classified together. This enables employees to recognize more quickly which causes are possible, which measures make sense, and when service support should be called in.

Avoiding downtime

Checklists, measurement points, maintenance routines, and visual inspections are explained clearly and practiced in a hands-on way. This helps detect wear earlier, avoid downtime, and implement planned measures more reliably.

Documenting qualification

Certificates of attendance and competence profiles document what has been trained and understood – as evidence for audits and as visible professional recognition and working basis for your plant and your team.

Who benefits from SIEMPELKAMP training, continuing education, and workshops

Our training courses are aimed at everyone who bears responsibility in day-to-day machine and plant operation – from operating personnel and shift supervisors through to maintenance staff in electrical and mechanical disciplines. Process and quality teams as well as key users for data and plant control systems also find the right level with us, because we consistently align content and depth with the participants’ roles and prior experience.

On the application side, we cover the full range in which SIEMPELKAMP is at home: wood-based material production and press plants, transport systems, drying plants and energy plants as well as size-reduction technology and adjacent units. This creates a training offering for every role and every plant environment that is technically sound and genuinely needed in day-to-day shift operation.

This is how training and continuing education offerings are structured at SIEMPELKAMP

No two teams start from the same point. That is why we combine fundamentals, advanced modules, and practical sequences so that the content fits your machine and plant operation. The training can be implemented as a compact course, multi-stage curriculum, interactive workshop, or on-the-job training directly at the plant. Training courses around our industrial software are also a fixed part of the portfolio – for example for key users who want to actively use data from plant control and process management systems for optimization.

Fundamentals modules – starting safely

Fundamentals modules convey operating sequences, safety and release processes, plant and machine design, typical fault patterns, and key maintenance routines. They are particularly suitable for new employees, shift teams, or teams that want to establish a shared knowledge base.

Advanced modules – understanding processes better

Advanced modules address topics such as process and system optimization, diagnostic strategies, interpretation of process data, quality relationships, or preventive maintenance. The focus here is more on identifying causes and deriving improvements in a targeted way.

Workshops – developing solutions together

Workshops are suitable when specific questions are the focus: recurring malfunctions, quality deviations, inefficient processes, or unclear interfaces between operation, maintenance, and process control. Theory, analysis, and practical development of measures are closely interlinked.

On-site training – learning at the plant

In on-site training, knowledge is conveyed directly at the real process. Live demonstrations, plant walk-throughs, exercises, and short reflection phases ensure that content does not remain abstract but can be transferred immediately into day-to-day work.

Four steps to effective continuing education – how a training project works at SIEMPELKAMP

Training courses are only efficient if they build on existing knowledge and close specific gaps. Before every SIEMPELKAMP training course, we therefore clarify what prior experience your team brings, which tasks are pending, and where the greatest friction points currently lie in operation.

Needs assessment & curriculum

In a preliminary discussion, we clarify learning objectives, participants’ prior experience, operating conditions, and possible time windows. The result is a draft curriculum with agenda, practical components, and, if required, a pre-check to determine the current status.

Implementation

Theory, live demonstration, and practical exercises are closely interlinked. Content is applied directly at your plant, and questions from day-to-day shift operation are incorporated. This way, each module becomes a concrete application rather than an abstract concept.

Transferring learning into day-to-day work

With checklists, short guides, and – on request – a knowledge test, we ensure that what has been learned remains accessible. Issues that could not be fully resolved in the workshop are taken up as measures or follow-up items.

Evidence & recommendations

You receive certificates of attendance, a documentation package, and concrete recommendations for next steps – for example advanced modules, on-the-job coaching, or a refresher after a defined period of time.
