3.1 BOILER:
3.1.1 INTRUDUCTION:
A boiler is an enclosed vessel that provides a means for combustion
and transfers heat to water until it becomes hot water or steam. The hot water or steam under
pressure is then usable for transferring the heat to a process.
Water is useful and cheap medium for transferring heat to a process. When water is boiled into
steam its volume increases about 1,600 times, producing a force that is almost as explosive as
gunpowder. This causes the boiler to be extremely dangerous equipment and should be treated
carefully.
The feed water system provides water to the boiler and regulates it automatically to meet the
steam demand. The water supplied to boiler that is converted to steam is called feed water. The
sources of feed water are:
2. Makeup water which is the raw water which must come from outside the boiler room and
plant processes.
The steam system collects and controls the steam produced in the boiler. Steam is directed
through a piping system to the point of use. Throughout the system, steam pressure is regulated
using valves and checked with steam pressure gauges.
The fuel system includes all equipment used to provide fuel to generate the necessary heat. The
equipments required in the fuel system depend on the type of fuel used in the system.
23
Specifications:
Boilers are always installing in industry according to the requirement of steam in
industry. if industry will be producing large amount of production then the size of boiler is large
and if production is small then size will be small so you can say the production is directly related
size of boiler. The Boiler installed in my organization was 100 ton by size. according to the
production of industry.
Tube length = 30 feet
No. of tubes = 70
Diameter of tube = 2 inches
Size of boiler = 100 tons
Capacity:
Capacity of boiler is always depends upon size of boiler it is directly
related to the size if size will increase then capacity to produce steam will be increase. The
capacity of that boiler was average 65 ton steam per hour and 1550 ton average per day
3.1.4 Fire Tube Boiler:
Fire-tube boiler is those boiler in which the fire or hot gas is present
inside the tubes and water surrounds these fire tubes.
Since fire is inside the tubes and hence it is named as fire tube boiler. The heat from the hot
gases is conducted through the walls of the tube to the water.
The examples of the fire tube boiler are the simple vertical, Cochran, Lancashire, Cornish,
Locomotive, Scotch marine, and Velcon boiler.
Working Principal:
Fire tube boiler is most suitable for low capacity thermal power plant.
The main constructional features of this boiler are one big size steam drum which lies
horizontally upon supporting structures. There are numbers of fire tubes come from furnace and
also aligned horizontally inside the drum. When the drum is filled with water these tubes are
submerged in water. The fuels (normally coal / Natural gases) burnt in the furnace and
combustible gasses move into the fire tubes, travel through these tubes from one side to front of
24
the boiler drum and finally the gases come into the smoke box. The hot gasses in the tubes under
water transfer heat to the water via the tube walls. Due to this heat energy steam bubbles are
created and come upon the water surface. As the amount of steam is increased in that closed
drum, steam pressure inside the drum increases which increase significantly the boiling
temperature of the water and hence rate of production of steam is reduced. In this way a fire tube
boiler controls.
Introduction:
Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Widespread use of a written
language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on.
The invention of paper means that more people would be educated because more books would be
printed and distributed. Industry would grow because all the plans, blueprints, records and
formulae it uses would be written down and saved, together with the printing press, paper
provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge. The primary source of raw
material for production of paper is vegetable fibers, obtained mainly from plants. To ensure that
the forest is not depleted of these woods, there is need to provide alternative source of raw
materials, this therefore leads to the invention of the process of recycling. Recycling, which is
the extraction and recovery of valuable materials from scrap or other discarded materials, is
employed to supplement the production of paper. The designing and fabricating of a used paper
25
recycling plant is therefore a welcome development as it will ensure that the source of raw
material for paper production is multiplied and also waste paper that could have constituted into
wastes are recycled for various productive purposes. Designing a manually operated paper
recycling plant ensures that a cheap and noncomplex method of production of paper product is
guaranteed. This is the objective of this paper.
The designed of a waste paper recycling plant included the determination of the volume of the
refiner, hydropulper and head box and also the selection of a convenient material for the
construction of the individual units. The bulk of the parts of the plant were fabricated using mild
steel, this is because it is the easiest to be joined among all other metals. It is a very versatile
metal, necessitating its use by many industries for fabrication of process unit equipment. Apart
from its versatility, it is also very cheap and readily available compared to other metals. Some
basic properties of mild steel that enhance these qualities include (Howard E. B., Timothy L. G.,
1985, Metal Handbook):
• Hardness: 130APLS.
26
Pulp house is a main section of paper industry in which different parts
doing their work according the processes. Pulp is made of raw material that is waste paper and
then this pulp pass through the processes to make sheet of paper here always hydropulper works
because each process on raw material is done by water so we will satudy some main process of
them
HydroPulper:
This is an open cylindrical vessel incorporating one bladed rotating
element that serves both to circulate the slurry and to separate the fibre from each other. It makes
the paper source become disintegrated, transformed and well blended into fibre slurry. This unit
is operated manually. The blade was designed in a way that it has more mixing effect than
cutting.
Figure3.3: HydroPulper
CENTRIFUGAL CLEANERS
Centrifugal cleaners (or hydro cyclones) separate components of the feed by centrifugal action.
A schematic of a typical centrifugal cleaner unlike a centrifuge, this centrifugal action is not
induced by rotating the equipment, but by introducing the feed stream at relatively high velocity,
tangentially into a cylindrical body. This creates a vortex that tends to cause high-density
components to move to the wall. The lower portion of the cyclone consists of a convergent cone
(although this is not theoretically necessary). Material collected at the wall (the high density
fraction) is discharged from the bottom of the cone. The bulk of the flow forms an inner vortex that
rises to the top of the unit and discharges through a central pipe (the vortex finder).Reference has
been made to dense material moving to the wall, and it is always the case that denser components
move in this way, and that lighter components of the feed are slower to migrate to the wall and,,
being closer to the axis, are discharged through the vortex finder.
27
Figure3.4: Centrifugal Cleaner
Washer And Thickener:
Pulp Thickening machines are constructed following the present
state-of-the-art and recognized safety standards.Parason Gravity Thickener is simple to install
and easy to operate. No external controls are required as the operations are flexible. It has
adjustable rotational speed and outlet weir height for accomodating large changes in operating
parameters. Additional discs can be installed for incremental capacity increases. Small floor
space provides a large dewatering area.The Parason Gravity Thickener operates continuously and
is used for dewatering or thickening paper pulps in the 0.5% to 3% density ranges. It houses
large filtering areas in minimum space. The Gravity Thickener consists of several discs installed
on a hollow shaft that moves in a vat full of pulp. Each disc consists of 4 segments covered with
a filter mesh, whose outlets lead into the hollow shaft. As the discs rotate, they lead the thickened
pulp to an adjustable overflow weir for their removal through to the discharge box.
Operating principles:
The pulp/water mixture enters the machine through the head box. The water is filtered out by the
disc filter and exits through the hollow shaft. The discs push the thickened pulp towards the
discharge box, where a gate controls the level of the thickened pulp
28
Triple Disc Refiner:
The unit consists of three main parts: a hopper for charging in the
pulp slurry, a screw type conveyor for moving the slurry to the treating element blade and a
treating element. Volume of hopper is a frustum of a pyramid and the volume is given by
V = Ah/3, where V is volume, A is area of base of pyramid, and h is height of pyramid.
It consists of three plates to refine the pulp. It is the final stage of pulp preparation so it make the
pulp refined
Head Box:
This unit is made out of an 18" gauge flat sheet into a square tank. Its
purpose is to ensure that a continuous flow of stock at constant velocity across the width of the
machine is provided. Its principal design involves the use of a single slice to develop a free jet of
pulp that is then deposited onto the moving felt conveyor. It has an inlet medium fitted with a 2"
pipe socket that allows for a continuous flow of pulp slurry.
29
Size Pressing:
On the paper machine, the size press is used to apply surface size to dried
paper Starch is the most frequently used binder in surface sizing. Besides raising surface
strength, starch also imparts stiffness, lowers water sensitivity, reduces dimensional changes and
raises air leak density of the sheet. In conventional practice, the sheet passes through a pond of
starch dispersion held above the nip between two large rotating cylinders. In the nip a high,
transient, hydrostatic pressure is developed. Excess starch dispersion is drained from the ends of
the nip. The surface size is transferred to paper by capillary penetration, pressure penetration and
by hydrodynamic force during nip passage.
The quantity of starch transferred to paper by a size press depends on several factors:
concentration of dispersed starch in the surface size; viscosity of the starch dispersion; diameter
of the size press rolls; size press pond height; cover hardness of the size press rolls; size press nip
loading pressure; paper machine speeds; wet-end sizing of the sheet; and water content of the
sheet. The concentration of starch in the surface size liquid can range from 2% to ∼15%,
depending on product requirements. Frequently, pigments and other materials are added, which
further increases total dispersed and suspended solids content. The viscosity ranges from water
thin to several hundred .
DRYER:
On a paper machine, drying is accomplished by passing the web around
a series of steam-heated cylinders. There are about 40 to 70 dryer cylinders on a typical paper
machines, and this is by far the largest part of a paper machine. The dryer cylinders are grouped
in sections having 8-10 dryer cylinders. Each section is independently driven, and has a felt or
fabric threaded in it to press the paper on to the hot rolls Conventional Cylinder Dryer The
drying rate around one cylinder is shown below. This shows that most of the mass transfer tales
place in the draw between cylinders. Heat transfer takes place while the web is in contact with
the roll.
30
Figure3.9: Dryers
Heat Transfer:
The first requirement of a dryer is to transfer heat efficiently from the condensing
steam to the paper. The resistances to overcome are depicted. The resulting heat transfer is
determined by the combined effect of these resistances, which is given by the resistance law,
Some typical values for the coefficients
Condensate:
This is the first resistance encountered in heat transfer. It is governed by the condensate
thickness and its velocity is relative to the cylinder. These give three regimes of condensate
behaviour: ponding, cascading, and rimming. The ponding and cascading regimes generally
occur with slower board machines. , speeds over about 300 m/min give “rimming”. In the
rimming regime, condensate is held on the dryer surface by centrifugal forces. Nevertheless,
there is a relative velocity between the condensate and cylinder, This is called “sloshing”. This is
important in attaining convective heat transfer through the condensate, thereby increasing the
heat transfer coefficient by a factor of 5 or more over pure conduction. Indeed, sometimes
“breaker bars” are installed in drying cylinders to cause the condensate to adopt turbulent flow,
and thereby increase heat transfer.
Calendar:
The final opportunity on the paper machine to change the paper properties is the
calender stack . A calender stack consists of a loaded stack of steel rolls (or alternating steel and
soft rolls) through which the paper takes a serpentine path. The paper thus passes through a
number of nips depending on the number of rolls. The multiple nip passes tend to compact and
densify the sheet. While some loss of strength is often evident in calendering, the process
improves the smoothness and flatness of the sheet and can correct some of the irregularities in
the sheet. The effect of calendering on the sheet depends on a number of variables, including the
sheet moisture, the type of coating applied at the size press, the calender stack loading,
temperature, and number of nips.

3.2.6 PAKING OF PAPER:
Digitization has impacted the print industries by a wide margin. The
information gained through digital media proves to be responsive and immediate. This certainly
affects the usage and manufacturing of paper industries which have printed as a major
business.To keep up with the digital world, paper products are shifting towards alternatives that
are directly or indirectly depending upon digitized markets. These products play a mutually
beneficial role to maintain the balance between industries.Paper manufacturers are being smart in
order to maintain the needs of digital companies by resourcing products like packaging paper.
The packaging industry is still big in the market and is required to carry industries like shipping,
logistics, food, and many
3.3 WORKSHOP:
Beginning with the Industrial Revolution era, a workshop may be a room, rooms
or building which provides both the area and tools (or machinery) that may be required for the
manufacture or repair of manufactured goods. Workshops were the only places
of production until the advent of industrialization and the development of larger factories. In the
20th and 21st century, many Western homes contain a workshop in the garage, basement, or an
external shed. Home workshops typically contain a workbench, hand tools, power tools and other
hardware. Along with their practical applications for repair goods or do small manufacturing
runs, workshops are used to tinker and make prototype. Workshop contain following machinery
inside a room
1. Lathe machine
2. Shaper machine
33
machine. The Lathe is the most versatile machine tool among all standards of the machine
tool. Nowadays the manually controlled machine exists like a SHAPER machine and even do
with the help of a feed mechanism the lathe machine operates manuall
Definition
“A lathe machine is a machine tool that is used to remove metals from a
workpiece to give a desired shape and size. Lathe Machines are used in metalworking,
woodturning, metal spinning, thermal spraying, glass working, and parts reclamation”.
The function of Lathe is to remove the metal in the form of chips from a piece of work by
mounting the same rigidly on a machine spindle and revolving at the required speed and the
cutting tool is fed against the work either longitudinally or crosswise to make the work to the
required shape and size.

3. Turning
4. Chamfering
5. Knurling
6. Thread
7. Cutting
8. Drilling
9. Boring
10. Reaming
11. Spinning
12. Tapping
Parting off Before continuing any operation in lathe we have to load the job and center it on
the head-stock spindle. 15/23 In lathe operations, the headstock spindle holds the job and it
rotates with the same speed as the spindle. The carriage holding the tool on the tool post, also
the carriage gives the tool post moves longitudinally or crosswise direction to give the
desired feed on the job. These two motions (longitudinally and crosswise) help to remove the
chips of the metal and give the proper shape of the job. The Lathe is such a versatile machine
that it can produce another lathe. It is tough to mention which operations are not performed
in a lathe machine tool, though we discuss some important lathe operations in detail.
35
The operation by which we remove the excess material from the workpiece to produce a
cone-shaped or a cylindrical surface. There are several types of turning operations, those are:
1. Straight turning
2. Shoulder turning
3. Rough turning
4. Finish turning
5. Taper turning
6. Eccentric turning
Straight turning:
This operation is done to produce a cylindrical surface by removing excess material from the
workpiece. It is done in the following ways:
1. Mount the job by suitable job holding device and check the trueness of the job axis with
the lathe axis.
2. Hold the cutting tool on the tool post and set the cutting edge at the job axis or slightly
above it
3. Set the spindle as per the desired feed
4. Give depth of cut as per finish or rough cut.
5. Start the machining.
6. Engage automatic feed to move the carriage with the tool to the desired length, then
disengage the feed and carriage is brought back to its starting.
7. The process is repeated until the job finished.
Shoulder turning:
A shoulder turning is called which has a different diameter to form a step from one diameter
to another. There are four kinds of the shoulder.
1. Square
2. Beveled
3. Radius
4. Undercut
Taper turning:
First, let me give you an idea about the taper.
A taper is defined as a uniform decrease or increase in the diameter of a workpiece along
with its length. The operation by which a conical surface of the gradual reduction in diameter
from a cylindrical workpiece is produced is called taper turning.
TAPER TURNING
Taper turning methods: A tapering form may be done by any one of the following methods.
1. Taper turning by form tool
2. By swiveling the compound rest
3. Tail-stock set over method
4. By taper turning attachment Let me discuss them in brief.
36
Chamfering operation:
Chamfering is used for beveling the end of a job to remove burrs, to look better, to make a
passage of the nut into the bolt. This operation is done after thread cutting, knurling, rough
turning.
Drilling operation:
Drilling is an operation by which we can make holes in a job. In this operation, the job is
rotated at the turning speed on the lathe axis and the drilling tool is fitted on the tail-stock
spindle. And the tail-stock is moved towards the job by hand feed.
Boring operation:
In this operation, we can enlarge the diameter of the existing hole on a job by turning inside
with some farm tool known as a boring tool. The boring tool is also fitted on tail-stock.
Reaming operation:
Reaming is the operation for sizing or finishing a drilled hole to the required size by a tool
called a reamer. This tool is fitted on tail-stock.
Spinning operation:
In this operation, the job of this sheet metal is held between the former and the tail-stock
center rotates at high speed with the former. the long round nose forming tool rigidly fixed
on a special tool post presses the job on the periphery of the former. So the job is taken
exactly the shape of the former. This is a chipless machining process.
Tapping operation:
We use this operation for creating internal threads within a hole by means of a tool called tap.
Three taps are generally used in an internal thread
. 1. Taper Tap
2. Second Tap
3. Plug Tap
DEFINITION:
Shaper Machine is a production machine in which the single point cutting tools are
attached and the work piece is fixed and while moving forward the tool cuts the workpiece

3.4.1 Welding Machine:
welding machine is used to create the heat and apply the filler metal. The filler metal is
supplied to form the joint, either from the electrode itself (or) by filler material. The temperature
of the heat produced is of the order of 6000° to 7000°c. So, let’s discuss what are the different
types of welding processes.
a. MIG welding
b. Stick welding
c. TIG welding
d. Plasma Arc welding
e. Electron beam welding
f. Laser beam welding
g. Gas welding
h. Flux cord arc welding
i. Automic hydrogen welding
j. Electroslag welding
3.4.3Types of Welding Positions
Following are the four main types of welding positions:
40
Figure3.17: Positions of Welding
Flat Position
The most obvious type to perform is the flat position, sometimes called the down hand position.
This involves welding at the top of the joint. In this case, the molten metal is pulled downward at
the joint. The result is a quicker and easier weld.
In 1G and 1F, number 1 relates to the flat position, while letter G is for a groove weld and letter
F is for a fillet weld.
2G is a groove weld position that includes placing the weld axis in a horizontal plane or nearly
horizontal. For the face of the weld, it must lie about in a vertical plane.
2F is a fillet weld position, in which welding is performed on the upper side of surfaces that are
nearly horizontal against a surface that is nearly vertical. In this position, the torch is normally
kept at an angle of 45 degrees.
41
Vertical Position (3F and 3G)
In this position, both the piece and the weld lie vertically or nearly vertically. 3F and 3G lead to
the vertical fillet and vertical groove positions.
When welding is done vertically, the force of gravity pushes the molten metal downward and
therefore has a tendency to stack. To counteract this, you can use an upward or downward
vertical position.
To check it in an upward vertical position, point the flame upward, placing it at an angle of 45
degrees to the piece. In this way, the welder will apply metal from the lower parts of the
workpiece to weld toward the force of gravity.
In the overhead position, the metal deposited to the joint leads to a hole on the piece, occurring in
a bead with a higher crown. To avoid this, keep the molten puddle small. If the weld puddle
becomes too long, eliminate the flame for a moment in order to allow the molten metal to cool.
42
3.4.6 Applications of Welding
The application of welding is so different and large that it would be no exaggeration to say that
there is no metal industry and no branch of engineering that does not make use of welding in one
form or another namely automobile industry, shipping, aerospace, and construction. It is majorly
used for fabrication.
Shipbuilding
Railway coaches
Automobile chassis and bodybuilding
Earthmover bodies
Window shutters
Doors, gates
All types of fabrication work.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, this internship has been a very useful experience for me. I can safely say
that my understanding of the job environment has increased greatly. Also, the technical parts of
the job were a bit flawed and I was asked multiple times to correct it.
The two main things that I learned after my experience in this firm are the importance of lathe
and SHAPER can honestly say that my time spent interning with GPM resulted in one of the best
winters of my life. Not only did I gain practical skills of measurement gages, lathe and SHAPER
Wire-cut but I also had the opportunity to meet many fantastic people. The atmosphere at the
Mohammad Afzal’s office was always welcoming which made me feel right at home.
Additionally, I felt like I was able to contribute to the company by assisting and working on
projects throughout the winter. For example, I assisted one of the partners with several Lathe
operations and SHAPER projects for clients of the company. Also, I helped to organize all of the
industry’s marketing contacts by utilizing Google Documents. In addition to these projects, I
solved the problems of SHAPER Wire-cut with the help of expertise. Overall, my internship at
GPM has been a success. I was able to gain practical skills, work in a fantastic environment, and
make connections that will last a lifetime. I could not be more thank
