ABSTRACT

My training report is about Workshop activities during industrial maintenance which involves difference mechanical

process such as machining(drilling,milling,turning,threadi

ng ect.),metal fabrication and pattern design and molding(sand casting).

TANGANYIKA PLANTING COMPANY (TPC) Ltd. Is one of the sugar industry in Tanzania which is located at

Moshi established in early 1930s. The company was registered in Tanzania as TPC on 29th June 1973 and shareholders remained the same M/s A.P.Moller of Denmark. Sukari Investment Company Ltd purchased 75% of shares of TPC limited in March 2000, and became the majority shareholders of the company; the government retained the remaining 25%. . The factory crushing capacity has been increased from 125TCH to 160 TCH, the area under sugarcane was extended from about 6000ha to 8000ha. The harvests season at Tpc lasts for 8.5 months from July to mid-March because of the long rains which usually hindering the harvesting and transportation of cane, the sucrose content also falls to the lowest level during the rainy season.

PATTERN DESIGN Pattern making:1. Motor fan2. Bush3. Hollow shaft4. Ejector5. Square nut

Page 6: sand casting

MOULDING Molding or moulding ; is the process of manufacturing by shaping liquid or pliable raw material using a rigid frame called a mold or matrix. This itself may have been made using a pattern or model of the final object

Page 7: sand casting

MOLD MATERIALS There are four main components for

making a sand casting mold: base sand, a binder, additives, and a parting compound.

Molding sands, also known as foundry sands, are defined by eight characteristics: refractoriness, chemical inertness, permeability, surface finish, cohesiveness, flow ability, collapsibility, and availability/cost

Binders are added to base sand to bond the sand particles together (i.e. it is the glue that holds the mold together).

A mixture of clay and water is the most commonly used binder. There are two types of clay commonly used: bentonite and kaolinite

PREPARATION OF MOULDING SAND Required to mix1. Non mineral sea sand2. Bentonite3. Water Mixing of water was gradual process for

proper wetness (low wet sand was required) ,the mixture allowed to settle while little water spread.

MOULDING PROCESS Selection of moulding box1. Drag and2. Cope

Selection was base on type of pattern either:1. Split or2. Solid For split one piece was put on drag and another on the cope and

then joined with proper alignment and the molding sand was introduced and compact together to give the shape required

For solid pattern the moulding box was selected which fit the height of the sample.

All before pattern were insert graphite was polished first and the pattern carefully removed

The boxes were placed near high heat to fasten the drainess and proper binding

The boxes was allowed to cool for 5-6 hours .

MELTING OF BRASS MATERIALS Furnace used was Diesel and Air furnace First it was lighted for Cleaning of the furnace, by

allow it to get heated for some time and remove the molten slag waste.

Introduction of brass material to the furnace The material was heated between temperature

1600°c to 2000°c The crucible were prepared placed near the

furnace After the brass was properly melted it was

poured into the crucible and then into the mold boxes to give the required shape and allowed to cool and solidify.

POURING OF MOLTEN BRASS IN THE MOLDS

After cooling the mold was defragmented by carefully removing the sand part

The remaining part was the workpiece required

It was further taken for machining operation

FOLLOWING SAFE PRACTICES Wear heat-safe gloves, apron, and boots Wear cotton or wool clothing Protect your face and eyes Consider a respirator

CONCLUSION I am well satisfied with my training. I have

learned many new technical subjects, acquired a number of new technical skills and improved

another group of existing skills such as: Increased skills in repairing faulty in machine

process Large steps in improving my abilities in

designing and repairing of materials Most important is how team work create high

efficiency and excellent work performance.
