QUALITY CONTROL RECEIVING:
In QUALITY CONTROL receiving all the materials that comes from outside the
industry is being tested.
There are three types of inspection and testing:

1) 100% INSPECTION AND TESTING.

2) SAMPLING INSPECTION AND TESTING.
3) 5 PIECE INSPECTIONS AND TESTING.

1. 100% INSPECTION AND TESTING:

The Inspector like compressor test, heating element test, evaporator test, etc, checks all
the pieces.

2. SAMPLING INSPECTION AND TESTING:

In this test these pieces, which are selected in
sampling test, are selected and then tested. 3 or 4 pieces are correct. They will say
otherwise not standard of accuracy depends upon the given standard of selection.

3. 5 PIECE INSPECTION AND TESTING:

When the material come in the Lott. The QUALITY
CONTROL Inspector collects some material from those Lott. Suppose if Lott consist of 1000
parts. The QUALITY CONTROL Inspector has to select 315 parts, which is called as
sampling test.
The purpose of all these inspection and testing is to ensure that the material is according
to the quality standard and requirement. QUALITY CONTROL inspector is responsible to
perform inspection and supplier premises according to relevant ITI (inspection test
instructions).

DOCUMENTATION:

 Monitoring and measurement

 Inspection and testing plan
 Inspection and testing instructions
 Purchased order (P.O)
 Material status report (MSR)
 Confirmation form (C form)
 Sample test report (STR)
 Inspection request form (IRF)
 Rejected material disposition notice (RMDN)

STAGE INSPECTION:
All the parts, which are manufactured inside the factory, are being tested here. It is in
process inspection through which parts are offered as stock for inspection to quality
control department through planning and production control department.
Following types of inspection and test activities are performed:
1) STAGE INSPECTION AND TEST
2) INPROCESS INSPECTION AND TEST
3) LABORATORY TEST

IN PROCESS I:
There are four types of inspection and test in process I
1) 100% INSPECTION AND TEST
2) SAMPLING INSPECTION AND TEST
3) ROVING INSPECTION AND TEST
4) FIRST PIECE INSPECTION AND TEST

The QUALITY CONTROL inspector is responsible for checking the parts at

different stages that either these parts are according to the quality standard. At the time
of starting the machine the QUALITY CONTROL inspector inspects the first piece if it is
according to the quality standard then the mass production is started.

IN PROCESS II:
In process II department consists of:

• Production 3
• Production 4

Production 3

• Foaming test
a) Density test
b) Destructive test
c) Risograph test
d) Ratio test
The QUALITY CONTROL inspector is checked that foam is completely
filled in cabinet and doors by sound testing. This is the responsibility of the QUALITY
CONTROL inspector to check the parts at different stages in the body assembly line.

In process II (production-IV)
There are different types of inspection
• Electric test • Vacuuming
• Proper function checking • Leak check
• Leak checking • Flow rate checking

In department of production-I:

The three different types of molding process are,

1) INJECTION MOLDING
2) EXTRUSION

CRASHING SECTION:
In this section the raw material is mixed according to the
color. They mix the fix ratio with polyester material is launched to the molding section.

1) INJECTION MOLDING:
Raw material used in the shape of pallets sized from
2mm to 4mm, drawn into a hopper from which it goes inside the barrel in which a screw
rotates.

The rotation of screw produces friction in between

raw material so it melts. This hot melt forces to inject in a desired geometrical mold cavity
to produce desired shaped part. The raw material is put into the hopper then comes
towards injector when the injector move backward the material is filled and when goes
forward with certain pressure the material comes out and poured in to cavity.
 In URIL, the injection-molding department is
consisting 48 injection molding machines & categories in to series SM & CLF because of
various categories by weight or by size etc.
2) EXTRUSION:

This department is consisting on following machine:

Twin extruder machine

Twin extruder machine is used in extrusion. The material
used in extruder machine is in powder form poured in to the hopper. Screw rotation takes
material inside the barrel, where it melts due to the heating and friction of rotation and
injects into the die, which has the mold of desired part.
The material takes out from mold and goes through from
size where actual size of part developed and cooling takes place.
After which cutter cuts the part in required size. The
important thing of this method is that it gives continuous production without brake.
The production III department of Dawlance is divided into following shops.

1) SHEARING SHOP
2) SHEET METAL SHOP
3) EVAPORATING MANUFACTURING

3. EVAPORATING MANUFACTURING SHOP:

In this process first evaporator

plate is hanged on the hanger then it goes for the cleaning purpose .The process of
cleaning starts from meta-cleaner the evaporator is past then washed by cold water after
cold water it goes to normal water then it goes meta-crone. After meta-crone the
evaporator is passed again through water the purpose of meta-crone is to catch the
polyester color after these processes now evaporator is dried into the drawing section. In
drawing section the range of temperature is 150c to 160c. Then the polyester color is
colored to evaporator with the help of gunpowder then after polyester color goes to baking
oven where the temperature range is 200c to 220c.
 • CABINET PAINT SHOP
• WELDING SHOP
• GRINDING SHOP
• CONDENSOR MANUFACTURING & PAINT SHOP

CABINET PAINT SHOP:

First the cleaning of the cabinet is taken place with the
help of thinner after which the process of phospheting takes place in which chemicals
used are metaphos and granodene and cabinet is washed first by normal water and then
DI water, before drawing process the air pressure is used for removal or water from
cabinet then the cabinet moves towards dry oven where the temperature ranges from
110cto150c.The polyester color is sprayed in paint booth and baked into baking oven at
the tempreture ranges from 220cto250c.The time taken by single cabinet for completing
of this process is two hours.

WELDING SHOP:
Welding is performed for the permanent joint of the two plates, here after the sheet metal
where different parts are prepared. At this stage the parts are welded by electric welding
like front cross piece or intermediate cross piece welded with cabinet.

GRINDING SHOP:
Grinding is performing to removing the extra material of the welding.

CONDENSOR SHOP:
Condenser is one of the main parts of refrigerator. In refrigerator there are two types of
condenser are used.
i) Rare condenser.
ii) Bottom condenser.

Rare condenser:
First of all the small strip roll are come in condenser manufacturing shop. These strip are
made of mild steel then small strip roll making the wings on the metal roll strip it called as
shutter then the shutter cut by the required size then make the right and left side or rare
condenser and then joint .We pass the copper tube and welded by the help of spot
welding then it goes for coloring process.

Bottom condenser:
Also in this process we make the same procedure mention in rare condenser. It is small in
size and adjusted in bottom.
Production-V is divided into two major sections, are as under:

1.PRE- FOAMING
2.FOAMING:

1. PRE- FOAMING:
Pre – foaming is divided into three sub-division:
1. Cabinet preparation
2. Liner preparation
3. Evaporator preparation

2. FOAMING:
Foaming is carried out for the purpose of insulation.
The materials used for foaming are:

 ISO SYNITE
 POLYOL
 R141B

These three materials are mixed according to fixed ratio, fixed pressure and also fixed
temperature. First of all ISOSYNITE and R141B is mixed in the mixer tank by Elastograin machine. When these
chemicals are mixed then the POLYOL is mixed with these chemicals now this chemical appears in the form of
liquid. Now there were two sections the 1st one where cabinet was filled with foam the filling of foam was
injected by the injector in 4 to 6 seconds according to model size.
This process is completed in 5 minutes and another section the refrigerator and freeze
door foam filling was performed.
The process involve in the door filling was crazole process, the time filling 3-4 seconds
and after filling the material was spread out and risen in the free space and become solid after 5 minutes.
The production - VI department of Dawlance is described as following:

1) BODY ASSEMBLING
In this section the manufacturing parts are assembled. First
of all, the holes was pressed for rare condenser on back panel also was connected the
main electric wire, then bottom condenser and compressor support plate. The thermostat
and heating element are the heating cover and tight up evaporator by the screw. Then
adjust the CT cover for hiding the wires. Now the cabinet is ready for fitting the door. The
workers fit the refrigerator and freezer door. Now these are converted towards the fitting
by conveyor lifter. Then evaporator was checked by help of Micron-meter Machine. This
machine measure reading up to maximum 25 microns as necessary. In case of this
reading the meters cross the limit, it means the evaporator is leaked. Now the workers
clean the valves with nitrogen gas. Then connect the valves in compressor with the help of
brazing welding. Those valves were made of copper material; in this position the welder
welds the copper electrode. And in case of the material is made of copper and iron silver
electrode was used.
With the help of flow rate machine the worker measures the vacuum gas in whole circuit.
The reading comes to 2.20 between 2.45 and the vacuuming gas is nitrogen.
Another Q/C Inspector checks the cabinet leakage and attaches the compressor tray. Then
the inspector fills the Freon gas (R12). The weight of gas is depending on the model. In
9170 WB model the weight of gas is 250 grams.
After filling the R12 gas then electrical test. Finally the refrigerator moves to functional
test. The cycle from electrical test to functional test was completed in 70 to 90 Seconds.
The standard temperature is +5 to -5 in functional test. And in last check all the joins of
welding by the help of Leak Detector Machine.

2) PACKING:
In the packing section all the refrigerators comes to pack. Before the packing the Q/C
Inspector checks the missing items and bad spots inside refrigerators. Then the workers
take the refrigerator with plastic cover, foam and company name box.
THERMOFORMING:
In this production, Door-liner and Body-liner
preparation takes place through a specific process, called as Thermoforming.
The working machines, which are being used
for manufacturing, are ITALIAN made by a company i.e. “PARCO”.

ABOUT MACHINE:
It is a vacuum-forming machine, works on the
principles on pneumatic and hydraulic system, totally computerized
operating system.

MAIN PARTS OF MACHINE:

There are some main parts of these
machines, which are given below:

• PLC UNIT (This is the computer-based unit)

• HEATING UNIT (Heater bank is used in this unit)
• THERMO REGULATOR (To maintain the temperature)
• VACCUME PUMP (It controls the pressure exhaust)

The heater bank has two main parts i.e. Upper

bank and Lower bank. Both have 160 heaters attached in it.
The melting point is between 115 to 155oC, and
the pressure is of 6 bars.
SHELF PREPERATION:
In this production, the material of rod is mild-steel
(MS).

PREPERATION PROCESS:
First of all, the rod is to be straight and cutting operation with
the help of straight cutting machine. The thickness of the rod is found to be 2.4 mm (the
inner rod) and 5.2 mm (the outer rod).
Then the frame is to be prepared with the help of butt joint, and
the supported rod is weld together to make a shelf. In the last, cutting the outer edges or
extra material in order to make the proper shelf.
When the shelf is completed through these processes, then it is
to be passed to the paint shop.

CONDENSOR SHOP:
Condenser is one of the main parts of refrigerator. In
refrigerator there are two types of condenser are used.

iii) Rare condenser.

iv) Bottom condenser.

Rare condenser:
First of all the small strip roll are come in condenser manufacturing
shop. These strip are made of mild steel then small strip roll making the wings on the
metal roll strip it called as shutter then the shutter cut by the required size then make the
right and left side or rare condenser and then joint .We pass the copper tube and welded
by the help of spot welding then it goes for coloring process.

Bottom condenser:
Also in this process we make the same procedure mention in rare
condenser. It is small in size and adjusted in bottom.
Though, some areas of thoughts are to be taken accordingly the nature and
circumstances, but here I, personally, admit some sentiments, to which I suppose myself
taken as a good, on this industry’s behalf…
Firstly, what I saw, that is to be define here is the industry has so many critical points,
which are the most cautious points rather than distinct points…
Secondly, the management in several areas of the industry, by itself, is so curable and the
most it will grip itself the most it will attain…

Here, I am going to show-off some points, which I think I should:

 There should be some actions, taken in accordance to the worker’s comfort. Like in
paint shop, the painter was standing between both heating areas and the powder
color paint, which is too harmful, was flying in the air, it can probably damage the
worker’s internal system.
 There should be some time-rest for the workers, as they are doing their task
continuously.
 One thing, which I have seen in canteen shop, was that the canteen-workers were
not behaving adequately.
 The main thing, which is the most-important thing, that is when the internship takes
place then the management should prepare the proper day-training-schedule for
trainees, as we had the first day in Quality Control Department, although we had not
any idea about the production and we were in QC department!!!!!
 Second main thing is that there must be training on the first day of trainees, in
order to teach the trainees how to make an internship well…
 everyday, there should be a small meeting between internship-trainees and
management for the period of minimum 30 minutes, and this will help the trainees
and management too.

Last word…
We are very grateful to the top-management for their unbreakable
support and assisting. We are also very thankful to the workers, who guided us in
according to make this internship more and more effective.

What we play is life.
