2.3 Product of company

There are many products produced from this company. GMT Malaysia produces
all range of rubber to metal bonded products specializing in anti-vibration mountings
and also plant facilities for compounding and custom-tailored rubber compounds.
The large product range of GMT mountings includes:

1. Vibration mount or shock absorber for genset.

2. Vibration mount or shock for marine engine.
3. Vibration mount or shock absorber for other equipment onboard ship.
4. Rubber bush

These applications typically have very high level of mechanically induced

vibration and impact stresses, which have to be isolated. Therefore, very specific
noise and vibration isolating systems have to be used to isolate these kinds of
machines from vibrations. Good elastomer qualities are required for this application
in order to prevent fatigue and wear on moving parts exposed to high loads at
extreme environmental conditions. GMT is also specialized in anti-vibration solution
for other industries like Railway, Construction Machinery, General Engineering &
Machinery, Defence Technology and others. Table 2.1 below shows some of

MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF RUBBER AND RUBBER TO METAL

BONDING PARTS

3.1 Preface

This part will explain about the process of making products from the beginning
until the end. Overall, there are 4 departments or sections of this company in order
to make the products which are mixing section, research and development section
(R&D), metal treatment section (MTS) and moulding section. These sections play
the most important role in this company.

3.2 Mixing Section

Mixing section is the most important section for this company and located at
Plant 2 building. It is the place to make the compound in order to produce the
product. The purpose of this section is to mix the raw materials which are rubber
and chemicals that already been weighed. Basically, there are 5 machines are used
in this department to make M/B and compound which are Banbury, Roll Mill 1, Roll
Mill 2, Roll Mill 3 and Extruder. All of these machines are very important and have
their own functions. In simple, there are two types of elements produced from this
department which are master batch (M/B) and compound. Table 3.1 below shows
the differences between M/B and compound.

3.2.3 Processes of making master batch (M/B) and compound

Based on figure 3.2, it shows the process to make M/B and compound. For
making M/B, there are only have 2 processes which are batching process and
mixing process while for compound, it undergoes 3 processes which are batching
process, mixing process and compounding process.

3.2.3.1 Batching process

Batching is the process of weighing the raw materials which are rubber,
carbon, oil, accelerator, chemicals and curatives according to its specific weight.
The value of the weight of each raw material are written on batching card to
produce master batch (M/B) and it was shown in Table A.1 at Appendix A. Different
types of compound have different type of raw materials and also its amount. The
function of batching card is as a reference for the operators. For the personal
protective equipment (PPE), the equipment needed are goggle, filter mask, gloves
and boot.

The raw materials for batching process are rubber, carbon or filler and
accelerator or chemical. Each raw material has its own function. First is rubber.
Rubber is the prime raw material in order to make a master batch (M/B) and
compound. Besides, it is also a tough elastic polymeric substance made from latex
of a tropical plant or synthetically. The main purpose of this raw material is to
change from large deformation to small quickly and effectively. The type of carbons
used in this company are shown in Table A.1 located at Appendix A.

Second is carbon or filler. The aim of this material is to reduce the

expenditure of using more expensive binder material and to enhance the properties
of mixture material. In this company, there are many types of carbon or filler, for
example is HAF N330. The rest of the type of carbon can refer in Table A.2 at
Appendix A. Different type of M/B or compound have different type of carbon. Third
is oil. The list of oils also provided in Table A.3 at Appendix A. Last but not least is
chemical or accelerator. The function of this material is to speed up the reaction by
increasing the rate of vulcanization. There are many types of chemicals used and it
were listed in Table A.4 at Appendix A.

3.2.3.2 Mixing process

Mixing is the process to mix all the weighed raw materials (after batching
process) at Banbury GK-70 machine. There are two machines were used for this
process which are Banbury GK-70 and Roll Mill 1. This kind of process required full
set of PPE which are safety boot, filter mask and goggle due to dangerous work.
Before the mixing process started, it must have check list as a guide for the
operators. At the check list, it contains the time interval for each raw material to be
mixed up and was prepared by the supervisor at this department.

For example, is KSS 57. Firstly, put and mix the rubber and Renacit 11 for
1.5 minutes. After that, chemicals and HAF N330 (filler) are take 2.5 minutes. Then,
SRF N774 (filler) and aromatic oils (oil) are take 3 minutes. Last but not least, the

10
sweep time takes only 2 minutes and the total time are about 9 minutes. From the
observations, the average time that operators operate the machine for KSS 57 are
between 9 to 10 minutes. Figure 3.4 below shows the procedures of conducting the
mixing process.

 Then, the operators from R & D department will take the sample and cut it
until get 5 grams and 10 grams of sample. The 5 grams will undergo one basic
analysis which is the determination of flow characteristic of compound using Moving
Die Rheometer machine by taking the value of TS2 and TS90. The steps to use the
Die Rheometer machine will explain in the next topic. While for 10 grams of sample,
it will send to Compression Press machine to mould the compound to be made as a
test specimen about 10 minutes and it will also explain in the next topic. After 10
minutes, it will take out from the compression press and immersed in the water for a
few minutes. Diagram 3.3 below shows the example of test specimen.

Next, cut off the flakes of test specimen and it will undergo 3 basic analysis
of compound which are hardness analysis, elasticity analysis and specific gravity
analysis. All the procedures of these analysis will explain in the next topic. Diagram
3.4 until Diagram 3.6 below shows the equipment for the 3 basic analysis.

Diagram 3.6 Example of specific gravity balance

After all of 3 analyses were carried out, the data was recorded at the
compound card and also in the computer. Each type of compound has its own
specification value of hardness, specific gravity and scorch time (TS2 and T90). The
result of the analysis must be in the range of the specification value. If the reading of
these analysis is out of range, the operators from R & D section will sent back the
compound card to the supervisor at mixing section and he or she will find the
solution to overcome this problem. But, if the reading of these analysis is in the
range required, the operators will write down in the book provided at the mixing
section.

There are only have 4 basic analysis of compound which are scorch time
analysis, hardness analysis, elasticity analysis and specific gravity analysis.

3.3.4.1 Scorch time analysis

There are two results that need to be record for this analysis which are TS2
and T90. TS2 represent the time required for the beginning of the process of cross
linking. While T90 represents time corresponding to 90 % curing. This result is
considered the optimum vulcanization process. Besides, there are many safety
aspect during conducting this machine which are put on the gloves when loading or
unloading test piece, do not trap fingers between clamping platens and do not let
testing remnants or foreign particles get into disc hole. Furthermore, the procedures
of this analysis will be figured in Figure 3.9 below.

float and remain calm in the water. At this moment, the pointer was moved and
marked of against the scale board (D). Lastly, the reading was taken and recorded.

3.4 Metal Treatment Section (MTS)

Metal Treatment Section (MTS) is the third department in this company and it
is located at the building of Plant 3. It is very important section in order to produce a
product. Metal treatment is one of the process to produce metal at which the metal
was sprayed with Steel Grit in the Sandblast Machine and also sprayed with
bonding agents. At this section, clean gloves are very important in order to make the
metal. This is because dirty gloves will make the metal become rejected.

The purposes of this machine is to carry out spraying process. After the
metals are already sand blast, it will undergo spraying process. Firstly, switch ON
the machine and set up the machine correctly. There are two layers that need to be
sprayed on the metal which are primer and bonding agent. Then, the metal that was
placed on the trolley will be sprayed for the first layer which is primer paint. After
that, the metal was dried for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, it will spray for second
layer which is bonding agent paint and also been dried for another 15 minutes.
Lastly, record the data in the report.

3.5 Moulding Section

Moulding section is the last department to produce the product in this company
and it is located at the building of Plant 1. This department is important because it is
the main cord of company to get benefit or profit from the sales. Moulding is the
process which the compounds are placed in the mould and lastly put it in the Press
Machine with the high temperature and pressure. For safety, need to wear full set of
PPE because the works that carried out at this section are very terrible and
dangerous, so, the operators need to wear safety boots in order to prevent legs from
contact with sharp objects, hardware or crushed by the heavy objects. Besides,
cotton gloves and gloves arm are also required for the operators to prevent hands
from exposed to hot machine.

Moreover, moulding section have its own vision which are: First is to complete
the job order during required time or duration. Second, no comment from the
customer about the quality of the products or to satisfy customers. Third is to
produce the maximum quantity of products that can be achieved. After that, the
target of moulding section is to produce 100% quality of the product, 0% comment
from customer, 90% products do not reject each day and lastly less than 2%
products reject each day.

3.5.2 Process at moulding department

The first procedure of moulding section is to produce production plan by

production clerk. During a few weeks at the moulding section, the trainee also helps
the production clerk to make the production plan. It is the daily work for this section.
The purpose of this plan is to make as a guide for all the supervisors and operators
at all departments in order to know how many products will be conducted at that
day. Sometimes, the marketing section also will issue Sales Master Schedule
(SMS). SMS is the additional product that need by the customer and it is usually
appeared once or twice a week. This kind of things will increase the sales of this
company in order to achieve the sales target.

After that, for the time work of the operators, there are 3 period of time
working which are from 6.30 am until 2.30 pm, 2.30 pm until 10.30 pm and lastly
10.30 pm until 6.30 am. From these time work, this department or section is 24
hours running. Then, the operators will run the products which have been listed on
the production plan. The raw materials at moulding section are the compounds
produced from mixing section and metal produced from MTS.

After the products have been ready made, it will send to Plant 3 for final
inspection before issued and delivered to the customer. Before send to Plant 3, the
operators from moulding section also need to inspect the products produced with
naked eyes. If there is a reject of product at moulding section, the data will be
recorded in the monthly scrap report. This report consists the total amount of reject
of product for each day. Furthermore, the production clerk need to update the
moulding report every day. This report contain the total pieces of products produced
and the total pieces of reject from both sections which are moulding section and final
inspection section.

There are many classifications of reject that need to be considered. Diagram

3.9 below shows the most important classifications of reject of the product.

3.5.3 Type of press (machine)

There are 3 types of press in this department which are compression,

transfer and injection. Each of this press has different function. Besides, each
machines also have its own safety operating procedure (SOP). The objectives of the
SOP are to ensure that the operators that operate the machines know and
understand the safety aspect during conducting the machines and also to make sure
the safety of other people who pass through the area of operations. After that, to
conduct these machines, the operators need to check the surrounding of the
machines and make sure it is safe to handle. Table 3.3 below shows the differences
between compression, transfer and injection.

From the project, the trainee sees and helps the operators conducting the
machine. For example, Press 003. This machine is a compression type and it is a
manual machine. The purpose of this machine is to fit the size of the product. The
trainee was able to conduct this machine. Besides, the trainee also helps the
operators to lift or remove the products after the cure time have finished, for
example is the product of Gummilager.

 CHAPTER 4

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

4.1 Preface

This chapter concluded about the result of the project of industrial training
and the future or recommendation of this training in section 5.2 and 5.3 respectively
in order to improve the quality of products produces and achieve the sales target
successfully.

4.2 Summary

Gummi Metall Technik (M) Sdn. Bhd. is one of the popular company in
producing the products of anti-vibration mountings. During the training, the trainee
knows the whole process to produce the products from the beginning until the end.
Next, the trainee also able to conduct a work that given by the supervisor or
operators successfully.

4.2.1 Mixing section

Firstly, at mixing section, the daily work that trainee do at this section is to
record the mixing report and also record rejected master batch in the logbook
provided. This report is to make as an evidence that the productions are running
every day. Besides, the trainee also helps other operators to do the batching
process. Make sure that there is a batching card to guide as a reference for the
trainee which contains the amount of chemicals that need to be weighed. Then, the
trainee also doing the packaging process with the help of other operators by
wrapping the pallets using wrapping plastics. Furthermore, the trainee helps the
operators to carry out Roll Mill 3 due to the lack of workers. As the conclusion, all of
these works are repeated throughout the trainee is in the mixing section.

32
4.2.2 Research and Development (R & D) section

At this section, the trainee is able to conduct the basic analysis of the
compound which are scorch time analysis, hardness analysis, specific gravity
analysis and elasticity analysis. Besides, the trainee was able to use 2 machines
which are moving die rheometer and compression press correctly. Sometimes, the
trainee also helps the operators to write down the pallets card and paste at the pallet
for the purpose of discharge the products. All of these works are also repeated
throughout the trainee was in this section.

4.2.3 Metal treatment section (MTS)

For this section, the trainee work for 2 weeks. During this period of time, the
trainee knows the process of making the metal correctly. The trainee helps the
operators to conduct 2 machines which are sandblasting Tochu machine and
sandblasting Metalisator machine. Then, the trainee also helps the operators to lift
the rejected metal and sent to the place provided for the purpose of rework the
metals.

4.2.4 Moulding section

Lastly is moulding section. The first works that trainee do at this section is to
make a production plan and sent to other sections which are R & D section, mixing
section, store and MTS. Next, the trainee also conducts P003 with the help of other
workers. This press is a manual machine, so, it is easy to be used. Besides that, the
trainee also sees and helps the operators to remove and lift the product of certain
machines after the cure time was finished. In the nutshell, all of these works are also
repeated throughout the trainee was in this section.

33
4.3 Recommendations

The recommendation for future of the company is essential in order to improve

the quality of the products and to increase the amount of target sales.

4.3.1 Mixing section

At the mixing section, there are many recommendations required in order to

increase the production of compounds and master batches. First is repairing the
machine for injection of carbon. This is because it will reduce the time of carbon
being delivered to the Banbury without the need of batching process manually. If the
company have more saved plenty of budgets, buy a new Banbury that can handle
more than 100 kgs per batch. Besides, the quantity of workers in mixing section also
can be decrease by set up an automatic process, for example, automatic machine for
the batching process.

4.3.2 Research & Development (R & D) section

For this section, a new set of Testometric Tensometer is bought recently. The
trainee hope with this new set of machine will shorten the time required to do the
analysis compared to the old set of machine. If the company have a lot of budget, it
can buy one more set of Zwick Machine due to the quantity of products increases. It
will shorten the time and faster to discharge the products.

4.3.3 Metal treatment section (MTS)

At metal treatment section, the recommendation that need to be done is to

reduce the amount of metal being rejected. So, the awareness of each operator must
be enhanced. The operators need to do the work more cautious.

34
4.3.4 Moulding section

For this section, the amount of product being rejected also need to be reduced.
This is due to the performance of the machines. During the training, there are a lot of
machines are under services and it will reduce the quantity of products produced. So,
the company needs to take the experienced maintenances workers. It will shorten
the time to do the maintenance works.
