Abstract

One of the important components in the power generation process at the Suralaya PGU PLTU is the Gate Valve. The MOV 30 Gate Valve is a valve that functions to regulate the flow of steam gas from the extraction steam to the blow down tank. Preventive maintenance on the MOV 30 Gate Valve unit 7 aims to prevent unwanted damage, reduce the risk of failure, and ensure that the device operates with maximum efficiency. With proper preventive maintenance, PT Indonesia Power hopes to avoid disruptions in power generation operations, minimize downtime, and extend the operational lifespan of the equipment. Damage to a gate valve can be caused by several factors, including excessive pressure in the valve flow, high temperatures passing through the valve, and friction forces when opening and closing the valve.

Abstract

The effectiveness possessed by manufacturing machines is a parameter used to determine the performance of a company's manufacturing process. Effectiveness can be shown in the form of percentages as effective as a manufacturing process is carried out. Effectiveness can be a reference for companies in the implementation of production by evaluating charts of production that are considered less effective and do not meet standards. The factors that affect the effectiveness of a production machine can be seen in the availability or capability, quality, and performance where in this article the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) method which has a production period of one month is used to get the effectiveness of the production process carried out. The results obtained in this study were 88.53% in the first week of proposition, 94.63% in the second week of production, and 91.58% in the third and last week of production.

Abstract

Adhesive technology has seen significant advancements in recent years. Compared to welding or threaded joints, adhesives provide a straightforward mechanism for joining material interfaces. Due to practicality allows for the potential development of adhesives with strengths comparable to those of traditional joints. In this study, a modified type of Polyvinyl Acetate (PVAc) adhesive was utilized as a binder for mahogany wood surfaces. The choice of PVAc adhesive is due to its common use in everyday applications, particularly in the woodworking industry. Additionally, this adhesive is relatively safe for both health and the environment. The study examined three types of adhesives: PVAc white adhesive, PVAc yellow adhesive, and a combination of the PVAc white and yellow adhesive. These adhesives were used to bond the wood surfaces, and the bond strength at the interface was evaluated through a flexural test. The results showed that the adhesive strength of white adhesive reached 111 MPa, while the mixed adhesive and yellow adhesive exhibited flexural strengths of 74.2 MPa and 63.4 MPa, respectively. Notably, the presence of white glue was found to enhance the flexural strength of mahogany wood even in the absence of adhesive.

Abstract

Roof tiles play a vital role in the construction industry by providing protection from the sun's heat and rain. The quality of roof tiles largely depends on the materials used and the manufacturing process, as these factors significantly affect the tiles' mechanical properties. Kangkung pagar (Ipomoea carnea) is one type of alternative natural fiber material that can be utilized in the creation of composite materials. This study aims to explore the potential of Ipomoea carnea powder as an alternative material for producing polymer roof tiles, as well as to examine how variations in the composition of powder and sand influence the mechanical properties of these tiles. The method for producing roof tiles is based on powder metallurgy. The composition of the powder and sand used varies in the following ratios: 10% powder to 50% sand, 20% powder to 40% sand, and 30% powder to 30% sand. Additionally, a fixed composition of 30% polyester resin and 10% asphalt is used. The initial process involves mixing the materials according to these predetermined ratios. The resulting mixture is then molded and compacted under a pressure of 200 kg/cm². Characterization of the mechanical properties includes proximate analysis, calculation of porosity and density, flexural strength testing, and hardness testing.The study's results indicated that the properties of polymer roof tiles are significantly influenced by the composition of the powder and sand used during their manufacture. The findings revealed a porosity value of 0.209%, a density of 0.994%, a flexural strength of 2.270 MPa, and an optimum hardness of 19.1 BHN. The addition of 10% powder increased the hardness value by only 0.4% while decreasing the flexural strength by 0.5%. Overall, the use of Ipomoea Carnea powder was not effective in enhancing the mechanical properties of the polymer roof tiles, as both the flexural strength and hardness values remained below those of commercially available polymer roof tiles.
