Analysis of Process Failures in Plastic Product Manufacturing Using Blow Molding Machines

2024-03-13T15:09:36+00:00

Abstract. The rapid advancement of technology, particularly in the plastics industry, is closely intertwined with the
development of machinery used in plastic production processes. Commonly used machines in plastic raw material
production include blow molding, injection molding, and extrusion. The production cycle time significantly affects
both the quality and quantity of production. While a faster production cycle may increase the quantity of output, it
does not necessarily guarantee an improvement in product quality. Hence, it is imperative for companies to identify
factors leading to production defects to plan controlled improvements. Product quality is a crucial consideration for
consumers when selecting products. PT. XYZ Pasuruan, a manufacturing company specializing in plastic packaging
processing, faces production issues involving defective products and the underlying factors causing them. This
results in time and cost losses due to the need to reproduce faulty products. Therefore, this research aims to develop
effective strategies for preventing and reducing production defects. Possible measures include improving production
processes, machinery, employee training, or changing raw material suppliers. By addressing the root causes of
these issues, the industry can enhance product quality, reduce production costs, and increase customer satisfaction..

Corrosion Rate Analysis of Steam Boiler Superheater

2024-03-21T15:10:32+00:00

Superheaters play an important role in converting saturated steam to the point of superheating. The condition of the superheater needs to be considered, if there is rust it will reduce the performance of the superheater in heating steam to the point of superheat. Rust / corrosion is the enemy of dangerous metals. Corrosion is defined as a deterioration in the quality of metals due to electrochemical reactions with their environment In corrosion events, metals undergo oxidation, while oxygen (air) undergoes reduction. The corrosion event itself is an electrochemical process, which is a process (change / chemical reaction) that involves electricity. Certain parts of the metal act as the negative pole (negative electrode, anode), while the other part acts as the positive pole (positive electrode, cathode). Electrons flow from the anode to the cathode, resulting in corrosion. By calculating the corrosion rate of superheaters with material A-213 T22 can be a consideration for using materials that are more resistant to rust or become a consideration in estimating repair time.
