Week 2

This week i was still in the assembly line with "max"... That week,i had fixed a tipping patch extraction,which was quite easy because the drawing was a exploded view mode. By now, i was quite good in handling the tools,.so I did not have much trouble in fixing the device. With a tipping paper extractor,the machine`s reliability and the cigarette quality increased. The tipping patch extraction is showed on the right. There were 4 units, each 1 unit of tipping paper extraction is for 1 unit of Max. There 4 units of Max which belong to 4 units of Protos 8oeER being rebuilt here.The machines were bounght bt Gudang Garam 20 yrs back. Nw they have sent it here to be rebuilt or overhauled. Coming back to my assembly,I had manage to assemble all the 4 units in three days. while i was doing this, i had learnt how to find for missing parts from the store and also how to locate the parts at the store by myself.

Week 1

On the first day work,i met my host supervisor, Mr Endri Omar,the technical production manager of Hauni Malaysia. He was very warm and friendly,so that was a good sign for me on my first day. He intoduced me to the entire team in hauni,the engineers and the skillful technicians. After that i was sent to the assembly side in the workshop. I was suppose to help out the technicians to assemble "the Max", a part of the Protos 80,which was sent by Gudang Garam to be rebuilt. This Protos 80 can produce 8000 cigarette per minute. Before i carry with the assembly,there was 1 important skill that i needed to learn,which is how to interpret the Hauni catalogue drawing. So i was helped by Abang Aziz and Abang Belli. they are the ones in charge of the assembly of Max. One my first task i fixed the blower pipes on the frame of Max. I learnt about "locktite", a gel like material that is used during tying srew in order to avoided leakage. then i fixed the supports and that was about it.

On the second day,i was given a assembly drawing of a module,where by i have to read it and use it as guide. All the parts were given in packets, Abang Aziz helped to collect all the parts. so then i started to assemble. Initially i was quite blur,didn`t know where to start. But then after a while, i got the flow, that day i assembled a drum and a control flange.

On the third day, i was finish the assembly of the control flange, then i learnt how to read the label on the packet of the parts. You see, each part is packed either straight from "Universelle" (the main spare parts supplier for hauni ) which is in Germany or from the store house. This packets have a label and this label has alot of infomation such as what is German standard for the part,the size,the material is made of,and its name. But its written either in German or English.Then Ang Belli tought me how to access the list of parts from the company system. Later i carried on with the assembly at the workshop throught the week. Oh boy,its was very tiring working in the workshop. I was not used to such heavy hands on work. Actually i learnt alot things about tools and how to hanndle them during that week. Did you that theres actually a proper way on how you should hold an allenkey? how to hold a mallot? so,there i was learning bout the mechanical hands on skills that was not tought to me in school.
