Machine Service Report (New)

The document reports on servicing a vacuum furnace machine that was leaking oil from its rotary pump. The pump was overhauled and it was found that the oil seal and bearing were improperly installed previously. The pump components were cleaned, new bearings and seals were installed correctly, and the pump was reassembled to fix the leak.

Machine Servicing Report

Machine: Vacuum Furnace

Section: VST

Prepared By : PDE

1
Purpose: In this report, will explain some of the findings that be found during doing
daily machine checklist. Solution that be made also explain along with the
countermeasure to avoid this issue happens again.
Issue: Leaking on the left side casing rotary pump.

Root Cause: i. Wrong method of installation oil seal and bearing.


ii. Too much of grease along the bearing.
iii. Wrong implementation of using a foil around the ball bearing.

Findings:
As a routine, during doing a daily machine checklist for vacuum furnace, we found
out there’s a leak on the left side of rotary pump 1 on furnace 1. After a little
investigation, found out the leak is not from the cooling water but from the oil which
should be in the rotary pump. By looking further, the leak is coming from the left side
of rotary pump more specifically around the bearing which are holding the shaft.
Since, the level of oil indicator still at minimum level, the basket which still left in the
machine will be wait to come out before shutting down.

Manpower count
1. PIC (Mr. Nizar)
2. 4 PdE (Alimin, Aiman, Afiffudin & Radhi)
3. 1 Line Leader (Han)

Methodology
Since management already agree to shut down machine, all production side will be
run on the furnace 2. For this rotary pump issue, pump will be overhaul again to do
further investigation.

Result
1. Overhaul rotary pump 1

Procedure:

a) Disassemble
1. Drain out the oil inside the pump.
2. Open the cover on each side of pump & open the filter.
3. Removing the belting which are connecting between the motor and main
rotary pump.
4. Loosen the nut that connecting the pipe and the casing.
5. Open the casing for the exhaust valve.
6. Open the casing for each side which are holding the shaft.
7. For each of the casing, take out the bearing and oil seal.
8. Take out the long shaft, which are connected with the piston.

9. Findings
- During the findings, most abnormal components are affected on the casing
which are bearing and oil seal. All of this abnormal are cause by the
previous improper installation.

b) Cleaning
1. All the components will be cleaned using the hydrocarbon oil.
2. Engine block will be carefully cleaned to avoid scratches.
3. Exhaust valve pin will be cleaned out and change to a new spring.

c) Assemble
1. New bearing and oil seal will be install for each of the casing.
2. Putting back the shaft along with the piston.
3. Placing the casing for each side.
4. Tighten the nut for all the pipe that connecting the casing.
5. Install the filter and the belting.
6. Putting back the casing.
7. Fill the oil to the inside pump.

Countermeasure
Since the root cause are coming from previous condition, proper way of
installation should be done. Some of the oil leaks are coming from the excess
amount of grease which are located around the bearing, this grease gets
melted and become more viscous just like the oil.

Proper way of installation oil seal and bearing should be done properly.
Wrong installation will affect the casing causing the oil that inside the machine
block get leak to the outside

Conclusion
From this service can be made, proper way of installation should be done
properly. To decrease change of wrong installation can be done by taking
pictures for each component before and disassemble. Another method is to
do a marking for each main components.
