Daily Inspection
Every day in morning sessions, daily team will do inspection to all equipment that used
to operate the paper machine. The technician had to check all pump, motor, pipe etc. in the
checklist prepared and make sure it all runs in good condition without any abnormal sound,
leaks and high vibration. If there any critical leak or problem, the technician had to report
immediately to the maintenance team and follow up the procedure to solve it.
In order to inspect the pump vibration, we used basic handheld vibration sensor to read the
pump and other bearing contained machine vibration and make sure the vibration not exceed
the maximum value. If the vibration over the maximum value, it may cause the pump
misalignment, increase the temperature of the pump due to high friction in bearing, shorten the
reliability of the bearing and result damaging the pump blade and other.

1st Shutdown
Shutdown is a time when the paper machine and RCF plant stopped to be maintained in
a duration that has been fixed. Outside contractor has been deployed to assists in service, fix,
On Tuesday (3/8/20), I had involved in a shutdown of PM and RCF for 26hrs, I’m with
three others contract assigned to help Mr. AMRAN to complete the task given that had been
checked yesterday to make sure that task given were the correct problem and tools prepared.

Problem: Suspected internal leak and bearing problem due to high vibration had been
reported.
Solution: De-attached the pump body, bring to the workshop to be service. Use the old
impeller to the new body. Then, assemble back the body to it pump head.
Conclusion: Before de-attached the pump, work permit had to be applied and system need to
be isolate. To de-attach the pump body from it head, all the screw of the body and coupler
need to be removed. Then, the pump body lifted with 5 tons chain block. This process needs
to be done carefully to avoid the pump from fall and the impeller from broken.

Rollshop Team
Figure 24 PM Lines
A team that given task to make sure all the roller in paper machine working efficiently and
good condition. There are four main sections on this paper machine. The forming section makes
the pulp into the basis of for sheets along the wire. Paper sheet formation begins immediately
when stock is fed from the headbox to the forming section of the paper machine, called the
Duo Former CFD. The Duo Former is a continuous twin-wire former, which means that the
paper sheet is formed as the dilute stock solution is pressed between two wires that are
travelling continuously at equal speeds around the former.The removal of water from the stock
during sheet formation occurs on the Duoformer The action of the vacuum rolls and wires on
the stock drains approximately 12% of the water from the stock, increasing the consistency
from 12% to 13%. Vacuum is applied to the rolls and wires to remove the water in a continuous
and well-controlled manner, ensuring that the properties of the paper sheet are consistent in
The press section, which removes much of the remaining water via a system of nips
formed by rolls pressing against each other aided by press felts that support the sheet and absorb
the pressed water. The paper sheet is transferred from the forming wire to the pick-up felt by
the vacuum of the pick-up suction roll. The pick-up felt carries the sheet into the Ist press nip,
29
where the low vacuum clamber in the suction press roll removes water from the sheet and holds
the sheet to the pick-up felt. The low vacuum chamber also draws steam into the paper sheet
to heat the sheet and enlance water removal in the 2nd press nip. The 1st press profile roll has
a grooved shell that allows removal of water pressed from the sheet. The paper sheet follows
the suction press roll into the 2nd press nip, which has a higher pressure than the 1st press nip
and forces more water out of the sheet Water is removed through the high vacuum chamber in
the suction press roll The high vacuum chamber is located at the front end of the 2nd press nip
therefore the sheet is released by the suction press roll after the 2nd press nip. The sheet follows
the center roll into the 3rd press nip, which is at a higher pressure than the 2nd press nip. The
3rd press profile roll has a grooved shell that allows removal of water pressed from the sheet.
The paper sheet continues to follow the center roll out of the 3rd press up, and the No i paper
roll directs the sheet to the 4th press felt. The 4th press suction roll applies vacuum to the sheet
and holds it onto the 4th press felt which cames the sheet into the 4th press nip, Water is
discharged through the grooves of the profile roll at the 4th press nip The No. 2 paper roll
guides the pressed sheet from 4th press nip to the dryer section. The four presses increase the
The dryer section of the paper machine, as its name suggests, dries the paper by way of a
series of internally steam-heated cylinders that evaporate the moisture. The heat from the dryer
cylinders raises the temperature of the water trapped in the sheet This produces water vapor
that is given off by the sheet as it passes through the dryer. The sheet entering the calendar
stocks after dryer cylinder 36 has approximately 92% of its water removed. The 36 dryer
cylinders in the dryers are arranged into four steam groups, piped to a steam and condensate
system Steam is supplied to the dryer cylinders from four steam headers and condensate is
removed from the cylinders by the condensate headers. The steam enters the dryer cylinders
and heats them. The sheet is heated as it comes in contact with the cylinders. The heat causes
30
the water in the sheet to evaporate As the steam loses its heat, it condenses in the dryer cylinders
Calenders are used to make the paper surface extra smooth and glossy. The calendering
and quality control system is an essential component of the paper manufacturing process. The
calendering process provides the final press and finish to the sheet leaving the dryer section.
The paper sheet produced must meet the quality specifications of the grade being nun Measured
variables (parameters) that determine sheet quality are basis weight, moisture content, caliper,
opacity, formation and brightness. The calender stacks enable the sheet to meet these
specifications by compacting the fibers in the sheet and controlling the sheet caliper and finish.

Crane Inspection
Crane is a type of machine, generally equipped with a hoist rope, wire ropes or chains,
and sheaves, that can be used both to lift and lower materials and to move or lifting heavy
There was lots of crane in this mill, but some of them were under rollshop team supervision
were overhead crane. Wet & Dry end, Winder 1 & 2 were overhead crane that needs to be
properly checked and test prevent any disturbance during operation in paper production or
repair progress.
Winder 1 overhead crane need to be checked daily, the bolt used to hold the bridge idler
wheel always loose. The 3 bolts need tightening with a torque of 250Nm based on material and
size. If the bolt over tightens it will cause the bolt failure.
By changed the crane motor does not solve the problem, maybe this crane needs to be re-
alignment or service. For now, with crane inspection just to prevent the crane from worsening.
33
Mist Runner
Mist Runner is a device that wax the dryer cylinder. It sprayed out anti-stick chemical like
wax on the dryer cylinder surface while it on running. To prevent any small particle, dust or
Problem: The mist runner stopped work/jammed need to be pull out and inspect the motor and
Solution: Our task just needs to pull out the mist runner device out from the dryer line, it about
5 meter long. Overhead crane needs to hold the mist runner out and pull it nicely, prevent any
it from slip and hit other dryer cylinder and caused other problem.
Conclusion: To install the sling, we need to make sure the load and the centre of mass of the
device. It to prevent the sling break-up cause of over it limits and the long device tilt and swing
that may danger to people surrounding and slip out the mist runner track.
34
Non-Destructive Test
Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a wide group of analysis techniques used in science and
causing damage. NDT is used in a variety of settings that covers a wide range of industrial
activity, and routinely applied in industries where a failure of a component would cause
Method: Roll is an importance gear in paper machine to produce paper. It has to been check
properly in avoid problem when had to running for long term. Fluorescent liquid penetrant
testing is one of NDT method implement by Rollshop in service the rollers. A liquid with high
surface wetting characteristics is applied. excess liquid then removed from the surface of the
part. A developer (powder) is applied to pull the trapped penetrant out the defect. Last, the
Conclusion: NDT is one of method to save cost and less downtime. Since substances are not
altered by NDT, they can continue to be used. That means less wasted samples also using some
methods, the materials can be tested even while in use, which eliminates the need to shut down
operations during testing. Wearing PPE is a must protect yourself from the hazardous chemical.

A spherical roller bearing is a rolling-element bearing that permits rotation with low
friction, and permits angular misalignment. Typically these bearings support a rotating shaft in
the bore of the inner ring that may be misaligned in respect to the outer ring. The misalignment
is possible due to the spherical internal shape of the outer ring and spherical rollers. Despite
what their name may imply, spherical roller bearings are not truly spherical in shape. The
rolling elements of spherical roller bearings are mainly cylindrical in shape, but have a (barrel
like) profile that makes them appear like cylinders that have been slightly over-inflated
Method: After the double-row spherical roller bearing had been inspected with no sign of
failure such as deep scratch, noise, and loose. Then, this bearing installed on the tapered shape
of the roll, and the clearance of the bearing need to be check with a feeler gauge with a specific
range based on the bearing diameter. Hydraulic nut used to compress the tapered shape roller
then fit the bearing in its housing. Last, the lock screw was installed to make sure the bearing
stays in place.
Conclusion: The bearing must be inspected very detail, to avoid any sudden incident or
damage when roller running for the long term in the paper machine. The clearance had to make
sure it in the bearing clearance range prevents the bearing too tight/loose. If too tight the bearing
will become hot when rotating in a long time and lessen the bearing reliability and if too lose

2nd Shutdown
Forming roll is one type of roll that is involved in paper production. The stock continues
along, being pressed between the wires and vacuum supplied to drawn off and remove more
water.
Problem: The Forming roll has been used almost 6 months and needs to be change caused by
suspected the net layer of the forming roll torn that results in the poor quality paper produced.
First layer of the forming roll had been worn and tear caused it forming and suction process
Solution: By changing the forming roll, it improved the paper quality with no wrinkles. This
was big opportunity for me, had chance involve in changing paper machine roll process.
Conclusion: This task was very heavy and need to be handled carefully by the expertise
because it involved the heavy load. Totally one in-charge and 5 contracts had be assigned to
perform this work. All the pipeline and gauge connections connected properly to make sure it
works smoothly. The bolt had been tightened and the roller had been checked no rub with other
or frame.
39
My second task during the paper mill shutdown was spraying the label for dryer cylinder.
The dryer cylinder is where the paper is fully dried. There was 36 stage of dryer cylinder
Method: All the 36 dryers cylinders need to be label, it needs to be inspected by DOST
evaluation. The surface of the dryer cylinder frame was greasy and need to be clean first before
Conclusion: This work needs to be done neatly due to evaluation by DOST. Black paint used
as the background colour while white be the labelled dryer number. During the shutdown, the
dryer does not operate, this painting task cannot be performed during on-run, because this dryer
sections are being closed and steam being supply into the space to help remove water process.

service things fully equipped with tools and often machines. All pump, motor, gearbox etc.
bring in here to be serviced. There was four team divide in the workshop based on it task,
machining, service and repair, fabrication and electrical. It worked on specification task or
problem facing on that time. If the pump need to some part to be customize such as create new
key or check the straightness of the shaft, after service has de-assemble the pump it will pass it
to machining team in checking the straightness and create new key to prevent the impeller loose
and collide with the pump casing. Then, if the thing involved with hot work and fabricating,
fabrication team that was fitter and welder will take the task. As a welder and fabrication team,
we do not to involve in servicing job, we more on designing and fabricating task. This task
involves with many hot tool and machine such arc and tig welding machine, auto-cutter
machine, angle-grinder machine, hand and table drill machine and other. In this team, I had
learned many hand-on, practically in handling those machines and the proper way in using it.
41
Fabrication Process
Problem/ Ready to
Design Material Fabrication
Request Used
Fabrication always happen when there are any problems occur that required modification
of things to improve the system and request from the operation in paper mill to easy their task
For example, Alkyl Ketene Dimer (AKD) sizing filter, is a chemical that is used in alkaline
or neutral papermaking conditions to provide certain level of hydrophobicity to the paper and
board always reported facing clog. Then, it disturbs the quality pulp produced. The
Maintenance Mechanical Department received the report from Chemical Preparation Team
During designing, the fabrication team need to brain storming in solving the problem, that
prevent the clog from happen. Design created and planned must full fill the requirement and
safe to use also working efficiently. Then, material to be used decide to fabricate the AKD
That how normally, fabrication need or happen during I assigned to this workshop.
Experience was very helpful in this process that help to build confident and produce efficient
product.

Welding Machine
Welding is a fabrication process whereby two or more parts are fused together by means of
heat, pressure or both forming a join as the parts cool. Welding is usually used on metals and
thermoplastics but can also be used on wood. The completed welded joint may be referred to
as a weldment.
Welding is a high heat process which melts the base material. Typically with the addition
of a filler material. Heat at a high temperature causes a weld pool of molten material which
cools to form the join, which can be stronger than the parent metal. It can also use a shielding
gas to protect the melted and filler metals from becoming contaminated or oxidised.
processes. These include metal inert gas (MIG) welding, tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding also
know as gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). These techniques usually use a filler material and
are primarily used for joining metals including stainless steel, aluminium, nickel and copper
alloys. Arc welding processes are widely used across industries such as oil and gas, power,
44
Safety
1. Wear personal protective equipment, heavy leather gloves and protective long-sleeve
jackets.
2. Wear goggles and welding helmets with dark UV-filtering face plates.
Type of Rod
Choosing/using type of rod is very important based on used purpose, material surface,
metal thickness and gap etc. Commonly used in this workshop was stainless steel (309,316L),
7018 and 6013 to joint mild steel, weld leak pipe and fabricate thing. Wrongly used of rod,
may result to low strength joint and shorten the use of welded objects.
45
Grinder
Grinder is one of power tools or machine tools used for grinding, it is a type of machining
using an abrasive wheel as the cutting tool. Each grain of abrasive on the wheel's surface cuts
Used to finish workpieces that must show high surface quality e.g. low surface roughness
and high accuracy of shape and dimension. As the accuracy in dimensions in grinding is of the
order of 0.000025 mm, in most applications it tends to be a finishing operation and removes
comparatively little metal, about 0.25 to 0.50 mm depth. However, there are some roughing
Angle Grinder
An angle grinder, also known as a side grinder or disc grinder, is a handheld power tool
used for grinding (abrasive cutting) and polishing. Although developed originally as tools for
rigid abrasive discs, the availability of an interchangeable power source has encouraged their
46
Abrasive Saw
An abrasive saw, also known as a cut-off saw or chop saw, is a circular saw (a kind of
power tool) which is typically used to cut hard materials, such as metals, tile, and concrete. The
Abrasive saws typically use composite friction disk blades to abrasively cut through the
steel. The disks are consumable items as they wear throughout the cut. The abrasive disks for
these saws are typically 14 in (360 mm) in diameter and 7⁄64 in (2.8 mm) thick. Larger saws
use 410 mm (16 in) diameter blades. Disks are available for steel and stainless steel. Abrasive
saws can also use super abrasive (diamond and cubic boron nitride or CBN) blades, which last
longer than conventional abrasive materials and do not generate as hazardous particulate matter
Uses of Grinder and Abrasive Saw: Removing excess material from a piece. There are
many different kinds of discs that are used for various materials and tasks, such as cut-off
discs (diamond blade), abrasive grinding discs, grinding stones, sanding discs, wire brush
47
Safety:
Type of Disc used are very importance to be determined before operating the grinder. It
should be used just for specific task such as cutting disc, just use to cut plate or metal, cannot
be used to polish if not, the disc may be shattered and caused injuries to user and surrounding
people. The disc also needs to tighten carefully, to avoid it from unrooted from the grinder.
48
Oxy-Fuel Cutter
The Portable Oxy Fuel Cutting Machine, HK-12 Beetle is an affordable, portable, oxy-fuel
cutting machine also known as auto cutter. It is known as one of the best portable cutting
machines in the industry. This portable gas cutting machine can be used with one or two oxy-
fuel torches, has a solid aluminium body. The improved transportability and operability will
Uses: Can perform straight line cutting, circle cutting, and bevel cutting. In our workshop, to
fabricate long piece of plate and fabricate many metal works, the auto cutter used the cut-off
the time produce constant straight line. With straight cutting it results neat fabricate products
49
Safety:
1. Remove all combustible materials such as wood, paper near the cutting location.
3. Careless handling of a lighted blow pipe (torch) resulting burns to users or others (torch)
4. Shut off the torches and cylinders when not in use. Don’t leave a lighted torch on
platforms or floors. Then, turn the gas supply off at the cylinder.

CHAPTER 4
Conclusion
In review of 10 weeks of In-Plant training at Asia Honour Paper has been an excellent
and rewarding experience. I have been able to meet and network with so many people that I
am sure will be able to help me with opportunities in the future. I also learned how to work as
a team and real-world situation of which are not taught in the classroom.
