3.0 CONTENT OF TRAINING

In the content of training, the main activity in the 10 weeks has been explained with aid of
illustration.
3.1 THRESHER DRUM

Thresher drum is a main component found in thresher station which separate oil palm fruit
brunches by rocking slam in a rotating drum to make the process of threshing the fruit of the
bunches of fruit that goes from the auto feeder was slammed with a round drum which
normally have (23 rpm) and with the help of a stripper which is on drums. Fruit will be lifted
and slammed so the fruit falls off from bunches. Through the grating drum, brondolan fall
onto the conveyor under threshers while empty jajangan pushed out by referring to the
horizontal plate bunch empty inclined conveyor next to a conveyor leading to the empty
bunch hopper.
3.1.1 MEASUREMENT DIMENSION OF THREHSER DRUM

First week, the intern has given a task to measure of thresher drum. There are two thresher
drum put in the factory of YI DA Engineering. Since, they are similar therefore only one of
the thresher drum have been measured. The dimension of the thresher drum has been
measured and record in a piece of paper.
The measurement tool used in this activity is measuring tape, vanier caliper and outside
caliper. Measuring tape is used to measure the certain length of thresher drum and vanier
caliper is used to measure the thickness of bar found in thresher drum. For outside caliper, it
used to determine the diameter of the shaft with semi-precision
13

There are some of problems have faced in the activity:

1. Lack of knowledge on usage of measurement tool
2. Some part of thresher drum is hard to measured
3. The dirt on thresher drum affect the performance of activity
4. The environment is hot
3.1.2 DRAWING OF THREHSER DRUM

Later, the thresher drum is drawn in AutoCAD. The recorded dimension is used in drawing.
The front, side, and some detail is drawn according the sample given by supervisor. Since the
work is large, therefore it was divided into several parts among colleague. However, there are
some parts of dimension is modify according to the requirement which has given by
supervisor.

3.2.2 COMMON TYPE OF VALVE

During the process of drawing, the intern has meet different type of valve. However, the three
common types of valves found in market are:
1. Butterfly Valve

The figures above are the picture of butterfly valve and symbol of butterfly valve.
A butterfly valve is a valve which can be used for isolating or regulating flow. The
closing mechanism takes the form of a disk. Operation is similar to that of a ball valve,
which allows for quick shut off. Butterfly valves are generally favored because they
are lower in cost to other valve designs as well as being lighter in weight, meaning
less support is required. The disc is positioned in the center of the pipe, passing
through the disc is a rod connected to an actuator on the outside of the valve. Rotating
the actuator turns the disc either parallel or perpendicular to the flow. Unlike a ball
valve, the disc is always present within the flow, therefore a pressure drop is always
induced in the flow, regardless of valve position.

2. Ball Valve

The pictures above are picture of ball valve and its symbol. A ball valve is a form of
quarter-turn valve which uses a hollow, perforated and pivoting ball (called a
"floating ball") to control flow through it. It is open when the ball's hole is in line with
the flow and closed when it is pivoted 90-degrees by the valve handle. The handle lies

17

flat in alignment with the flow when open, and is perpendicular to it when closed,
making for easy visual confirmation of the valve's status

3. Gate Valve

A gate valve, also known as a sluice valve, is a valve that opens by lifting a round or
rectangular gate/wedge out of the path of the fluid. The distinct feature of a gate valve is
the sealing surfaces between the gate and seats are planar, so gate valves are often used
when a straight-line flow of fluid and minimum restriction is desired. The gate faces can
form a wedge shape or they can be parallel. Gate valves are primarily used to permit or
prevent the flow of liquids, but typical gate valves shouldn't be used for regulating flow,
unless they are specifically designed for that purpose. Because of their ability to cut
through liquids, gate valves are often used in the petroleum industry. For extremely thick
fluids, a specialty valve often known as a knife valve is used to cut through the liquid. On
opening the gate valve, the flow path is enlarged in a highly nonlinear manner with
respect to percent of opening. This means that flow rate does not change evenly with stem
travel. Also, a partially open gate disk tends to vibrate from the fluid flow. Most of the
flow change occurs near shutoff with a relatively high fluid velocity causing disk and seat
wear and eventual leakage if used to regulate flow. Typical gate valves are designed to be
fully opened or closed. When fully open, the typical gate valve has no obstruction in the
flow path, resulting in very low friction loss.

18

3.3 SPECIFICATION OF ENGINEERING PRODUCT

In engineering field, specification of engineering product is very import because most of the
products have their own specification according to standard or company itself. Therefore, the
designers have to take the specification of engineering product or component as consideration
to fulfill the requirement of design.
There are several tasks have done by the intern is related to specification of Engineering
product. The tasks are 2D-library add on and making of common size material list. For 2Dlibrary add on, the intern have been drawn several common size of engineering components
such as I-beam, sprocket and bolt. For common size of material list, the type of engineering
materials have been separated and then unit weight is shown for each type of engineering
materials with its specification and material. The purpose of doing this is to make the project
manager convenient to calculate the weight of material.
Furthermore, the handbook often refer by YI DA Engineering Sdn Bhd is Yi Hock Handbook
Engineering Handbook where inside have specification for different type of engineering
product such as I beam, angle bar, flat bar and etc. Beside that other catalog also have been
refer such as catalog for sprocket.
Some of engineering products are shown below:
1. I-BEAM

An I-beam, also known as H-beam, W-beam (for "wide flange"), Universal Beam (UB),
Rolled Steel Joist (RSJ), or double-T (especially in Polish, Bulgarian, Spanish, Italian and
German), is a beam with an I- or H-shaped cross-section. The horizontal elements of the
"I" are known as flanges, while the vertical element is termed the "web". I-beams are
usually made of structural steel and are used in construction and civil engineering.

19

The web resists shear forces, while the flanges resist most of the bending moment
experienced by the beam. Beam theory shows that the I-shaped section is a very efficient
form for carrying both bending and shear loads in the plane of the web. On the other hand,
the cross-section has a reduced capacity in the transverse direction, and is also inefficient
in carrying torsion, for which hollow structural sections are often preferred. The material
are mild steel and stainless steel.
2. BOLTS AND NUTS

For bolt and nut, there are two different systems which is metric system and inch system
for their dimensions. Metric system using SI unit however inch system using BG unit.
However, the standard used by YI DA Engineering is JIS 1008 Grade A and which is
hexagonal head bolt in both metric and inch system.
3. SPROCKET

20

A sprocket or sprocket-wheel is a profiled wheel with teeth, cogs, or even sprocket that
mesh with a chain, track or other perforated or indented material. The name 'sprocket'
applies generally to any wheel upon which radial projections engage a chain passing over
it. It is distinguished from a gear in that sprockets are never meshed together directly, and
differs from a pulley in that sprockets have teeth and pulleys are smooth.
For sprocket, there are some important dimensions have follow there are chain pitch,
pitch circle diameter, bore diameter and number of teeth.
3.4 WELDING
By inspection around the factory we observed that the factory main activity is welding. Arc
welding and oxy-acetylene welding is the most used typed found in factory.

21

3.5 UNFOLD TECHNIQUE

Unfold technique is the engineering technique learned in YI DA Engineering Sdn Bhd. The
unfold technique is important because we need to know the size and geometry of metal sheet
to cut before folded into required ducting shape. The accuracy is needed during this process
therefore the drawing methods have to be correct and accurate. The interns have learn
difference unfold techniques during the training there are pipe segmentation method, 2D
drawing method for square to round ducting and usage of unfold function of SOLIDWORKS.
There difference orientation of ducts or pipes connection, however in YI DA Engineering
Sdn. Bhd only consider on:
1. Unfold of 90 bend or elbow
2. Unfold of square to round duct
3. Unfold of segmented pipe tee
3.5.1 PIPE SEGMENTATION METHOD
The pipe segmentation method is used to unfold 90 bend or elbow. The fundamental
principle of segmentation method is numerical method to draw the shape of unfold for every
orientation of connection. During usage of pipe segmentation method the interns have
discovered the reason of every step pipe segmentation method. Before going any detail, the
steps of pipe segmentation have been shown:
1. Draw a view of the pipes that shows the angle of intersection.
2. Draw a circle under the vertical pipe and divide it into 16 equal spaces and number as
shown.
3. Extend vertical lines from the point where the lines drawn in #2 intersect the circle to
the angle of cut.
4. Obtain the circumference of the pipe by multiplying the diameter X 3.1415.
5. The length of this line will be that obtained in step 4.
6. Subdivide the line drawn into 16 equal segments and number the lines 1 to 9 then
back down to 1 as shown.
7. Intersect the numbers as show. (1 to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3 etc..)
8. Draw a line through these intersecting points as shown then cut out the template.
9. Wrap the pipe and mark and counterpunch.

22

10. Cut with a torch keeping the tip pointed towards the imaginary intersection of the two
pipe centerlines.

The important key for this theory is the relative height of line for position 1 to 9 by taking the
position of height for 1 as origin. With these relative height a curve can be drawn by
connected all these point. However, the curve is just an approximate curve for further
accuracy more position might be used to the relative height of them.
However, to trace the relative height the vertical lines from each position of the bottom circle
to the line of cut is drawn, but by doing this we just can get the relative height therefore
another horizontal line is drawn to intersect the straight line beside with respective position.
The point of intersection can be used to drawn the shape of curved after unfold. However
only half of curved have been plot another half have to plot using the same way.
Therefore, by using this method any orientation of pipe with different cut of line can be
unfolded. The 90 bend or elbow and segmented pipe tee can used this method to draw
although the cut of line is different. For 90 bend or elbow, the cut of line is just a inclined
line. However for segmented pipe tee the cut of line is a curved line.
23

3.5.2 2DRAWING METHOD FOR SQUARE TO ROUND DUCTING

Square to round ducting is a ducting with two ends with difference geometry shapes. There
are round and square as shown as below:

The step of drawing of unfold pattern for square to round is shown as below:

First step is to find all true lengths. The only way to able to see a true length line is
perpendicular to its plane. Develop a true length bar. Using the dividers or trammel points,
transfer from the top views points A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, B6 and B1.Draw a line from the
top of your True length bar (which must be the total height of the fitting) down to each
reference mark on the base of the true length bar

24

Take the dimension A to A from the top view and draw a straight line. Set the dividers to
dimension A to B and draw a small arch as a reference point. Once the dividers are set, place
one end on A and make a reference mark as in Fig.1.

Set the dividers on points 6,5 in the top view and transfer this dimension to the
drawing as in Fig.2

Set the dividers to the A5 length from true length bar and make a reference mark that
intersects with 6,5 reference mark

Reset the dividers to the distance of 5,4 from the top view and transfer this to the
drawing.

25

Continue what were doing in Fig.2 until all A6 through A1 lines transferred.

Determining line B1, B is half the distance from A to A and referenced this with an arch.
Transfer line B1 from the true length bar by setting the dividers to that distance and
transferring it by placing one end on point 1 and drawing an arch across the arch is labeled B.
The intersection of these two arch's becomes point B. Draw a line from point 1 down to point
B and draw another line from point A to point B 2 pieces required to make one fitting. One
last thing to do is to connect the points 1 through 6.

26

3,5.3 SOLIDWORK
However, the quickest way to unfold these things is usage of SOLIDWORK. The picture
below shows picture of unfold for these things:
1. Unfold of elbow:

The picture above is unfolds of one segment of elbow, unfold of elbow has curved
line.
2. Unfold of pipe-tee

The picture above is unfolds of pipe-tee where the pipe head to another pipe is
unfolded which has almost similar shape as elbow.
3. Unfold of square to round duct

The picture above is unfold of square to round duct.

27

3.6 PALM OIL MILL

Palm oil is extracted from fresh fruit bunches (FFB) by mechanical process, where a mill
commonly handles 60 to 100mt per hour of FFB. The modern palm oil mill of today is based
predominantly on concepts developed in the early 50s (Mongana Report). An average size
FFB weighs about 20-30kg and contains 1500-2000 fruits. The FFBs are harvested according
to harvesting cycles, and delivered to the mills on the same day. The quality of crude palm oil
is dependent on the care taken after harvesting, particularly on the handling of the FFBs.
A palm oil mill produces crude palm oil and kernels, as primary products and biomass as
secondary product. The capacity of mills varies between 60- 100 tons FFB/h. A typical mill
has many operation units as shown in Figure 2. This comprises of sterilization, stripping,
digestion and pressing, clarification, purification, drying and storage. For the kernel line,
there are steps such as nut/fibre separation, nut conditioning and cracking, cracked mixture
separation, and kernel drying, storage. The dried kernels are often sold to palm kernel
crushers for extraction of crude palm kernel oil. In some integrated plants, kernel crushing
facilities exist side by side at the same complex.
The flow chart shows the process of palm oil mills:

28

3.6.1 DRAWING OF SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM OF PALM OIL MILL

In this internship training, the intern have been drawn a lot of schematic diagram of palm oil
mill. Therefore, in this process the intern able to learn more about the palm oil mill process
but continual drawing of them. The title of drawing had been mention in section 3.2.1.
3.7 POME VAP
Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is the waste water discharged from the sterilization process,
crude oil clarification process and cracked mixture separation process. POME produced huge
amount of methane gas from its anaerobic process and has 21 times Global Warming
Potential (GWP) compared to the other gasses. However it can be solved, if it can be utilized
as fuel for power generation and cogeneration. Notwithstanding the huge potential, existence
of proven technologies and availability of knowledge and incentives, biogas utilization is still
in a very early stage in Malaysia.
Wastewater treatment facility is amongst the most important component in the palm oil mill
system. This is because the facility is to treatment palm oil mill effluent (POME) that is being
generated in large volume during the production of crude palm oil (CPO). Due to the
chemical and physical properties of POME, the most efficient system used in the initial stage
of the wastewater plant is the anaerobic treatment. The current systems meet the requirement
of the palm oil mill operators to safely discharge the treated POME. However, the systems
release one of the green house gases (GHG), CH4 into the atmosphere as the by-products of
anaerobic digestion of POME.

However, YI DA Engineering companies are planning on using POME VAP instead of

original water treatment system. POME VAP is usage of heat exchanger plate to drying and
concentrated the effluent to semi-solid or solid with little water content and final convert to
animal food by adding fiber on it. This will make the place for water treatment smaller and
the cost will be cheaper.
29

The flow diagram below is the schematic diagram of POME VAP:

3.7.1 Helping of doing proposal

The interns have chance to helping the project manager doing proposal for POME VAP. The

3.9 MEASURE DIMENSION OF COMPOSER PLANT

During the internship period, the interns also have chance to visit palm oil mill at Kluang.
The purpose of visit is to go measure dimension of composer plant then come back to office
to draw the plan view for it then put the plan view picture to fit the location in existing palm
oil mill plan to update and renew information.
In measuring activity, two persons have been involved in measuring activity and one person
involve in recorded.
The dimension of distance between I-beam, width of drain, distance of drain from boundary

3.10 DESIGN PRODUCT

During the industrial training, the interns have given a task to design curved roofing on the
wall of 160ft long and 30 ft height. There are several design have been proposed and some of
the design are shown as below:
1. For first design, the roof is design as two half eclipses.

2. For second design, the roof is design as curved like shaped

35

3. For third design ,the roof is design as mountain shaped

From this design task, the intern have learned about for a design project is not no sufficient to
just fulfill physical requirement but the requirement of customer also have to take as
consideration because their comment is the most important part to make a design project
successful.

4.0 RECOMMENDATION
4.1 RECOMMENDATION FOR THE COMPANY
After 10 weeks of industrial training, some of the problems exist in the company have been
observed. There are some of recommendations have been given as below:
1. Using 3D software such as SOLIDWORKS.

Since, the company used AutoCAD as their drawing software. Therefore, the
company is suggested to use 3D software such as SOLIDWORKS. The reason why
SOLIDWORKS is recommended because it is more convenient to use compare to
AutoCAD to draw 3D drawing. The SOLIDWORKS has difference drawing
characteristic with AutoCAD due to SOLIDWORKS is dimension driven which mean
the drawing can be change by input dimension. It is slight difference compare to
AutoCAD which need to input dimension first before drawing. In other word, the
drawing in SOLIDWORKS can be modify but AutoCAD cannot and have to redraw
if meet mistake. Furthermore, the SOLIDWORK can used to stimulate and analysis of
product but the AutoCAD cannot. So, by using SOLIDWORK will enhance the
efficiency of company.

2. Using machine with higher precision.

After several inspections on factory, the equipment of cutting metal sheet is manual
cutting machine which mean the motion of cutting machine is control by hand. The
several disadvantages usage of this kind of equipment first vibration of cutting
machine will cause health problem of workers such as hand shake and reduce of
accuracy. Therefore, company may be could buy in some automation cutting machine
so that the worker can cut metal under safety environment and high accuracy.

3. Hire safety officer.

After observed the organization chart, the organization didnt hire safety officer.
However there is important to have a safety officer to guide the worker so that the
worker would work under safety environment. There are several situations I saw the
worker are unsafe while working. For example, the wrong standing position of worker
39

while lift up heavy things. This happen because dont have proper working procedure
hence safety officer is required to do hazard management in factory to make sure all
the workers are work under safety environment.
4.2 RECOMMENDATION FOR FALCULTY
The recommendation for falculty of mechanical and manufacturing engineering (FKMP) is
supervisor from FKMP should visit the trainees twice during the industrial training.
Supervisor from faculty should visit the trainee once in the first two weeks of their training to
make sure they are properly having their industrial training and once in the last two weeks to
evaluate their performance.
4.3 RECOMMENDATION FOR TRAINING SCOPE
There are some recommendation is given for training scope as shown as below:
1. Given students chance to go on-site if the company has this kind of opportunity.

As a mechanical student, they required many practical and contact to real life machine
instead of merely obtain knowledge in book. Therefore, go on-site is the best choice
to learn new thing and related what they seen to theory obtain from book. For
example, when installation of machine in factory student can observe and learn how
the workers install them.
2. Given project based task.

Furthermore, the LI supervisor may be can gave the interns a project base work to do
so that the interns can learn more thing and faster to adapt to environment by
cooperate with profession in engineering field.

5.0 CONCLUSION
As a conclusion, through this internship training program which offered by University of Tun
Hussein Onn Malaysia the intern have chance to explore to engineering working environment
for enhance professional skill and interpersonal skill as a professional in Yi Da Engineering
Sdn Bhd. The intern also have chance to communicate and cooperate with profession from
engineering field. Furthermore, the intern is also gain working experience from YI Da
Engineering.
In this internship program, the interns have given different task which required creativity,
technical skill, interpersonal skill and communication skill. Therefore, in this period the
intern has to connect work experience with knowledge learn from IPT by applied theory and
academic knowledge on work. Besides that, the intern also forced to enhance soft skill and
communication skill because without all these skill the interns would not survive in future
engineering works. Furthermore, the intern can obtain some experience and knowledge for
benefit of chooses work after graduate.
At last, the intern also learned a lot in YI DA engineering and have chance to explore in palm
oil mill industry. However, there are still have a lot of things need to learn because the intern
just have two month duration to go through the intern life.
