Abstract

Deflector Roll plays an essential role in the manufacturing of tinplate at PT Pelat Timah Nusantara (Latinusa), Tbk. This research examines the corrective maintenance procedure by employing the breakdown method to pinpoint repeated problems and their resolutions. The primary issues noted include degraded bearings, soiled surfaces, and uneven rollers, all of which hinder production continuity. The maintenance procedures consist of disassembling, examining, replacing, cleaning, balancing, and reassembling. Analyzing 55 documented damage occurrences from 2015 to 2024 reveals that surface-related problems were predominant, with 9 instances (16.36%) of glossy smooth surfaces, followed closely by surface buckling (14.55%) and dirty surfaces (14.55%). The outcome indicates that organized maintenance enhances efficiency and extends roll lifespan

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

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.

Abstract

Karangantu Port, located in Banten Province, plays a strategic role in supporting capture fisheries activities. However, fishing vessels operating in this port often face hydrodynamic resistance issues that affect operational efficiency. This study aims to analyze the influence of vessel speed and draft on the total resistance experienced by fishing boats. A 3D hull model was developed using SolidWorks and simulated using Maxsurf. Speed variations ranged from 5 to 12 knots, with four draft levels tested: 0.5 m, 0.7 m, 0.9 m, and 1.1 m. The results show that total resistance increases significantly with speed, particularly due to the dominance of wave-making resistance at speeds above 8 knots. Deeper drafts also lead to higher frictional resistance, caused by the increased wetted surface area. The optimal operational speed for maintaining fuel efficiency is in the range of 6 to 9 knots, with a balanced draft setting to ensure vessel stability without excessive resistance. These findings are expected to contribute to more efficient design and operation of fishing vessels at Karangantu Port.
