 Company history
 Hartalega first founded in 1988 with one production at Kepong.

Hartalega Kepong

 In 1992, Hartalega is moved to Batang berjuntai. From one production plant Hartalega expand to
52 production lines with six plants and now evolved to a company that has singlehandly
revolutionized glove-making.

 Company history

 The new factory is at NGC, sepang.

Hartalega factory at sepang

 Basically, Hartalega is focusing in producing rubber glove but then after going
through innovation Hartalega has invented in Nitrile glove.
 Hartalega was the inventor of the world’s first lightweight Nitrile glove in
2002.
 General process flow
 The process flow in the production plant is divided into two process flow which are online
process and offline process.
 Online process :

Former Cleaning
brush
Hot water C Oven Pre Leach Neutralizer Rinse tank

Acid Shower Blower Latex Beading Soak D Oven Puller

Shower Alkaline Coagulant B Oevn Main Oven Cooling tank Pre roller GSR
 General process flow
 Offline process flow :

 General process flow

 Online process is the process where the glove produced can be packed
directly without need to undergo post treatment process.
 Offline process is the process where the glove produced must undergo post
treatment and tumbling process. The glove can not be packed directly.

1. Process flow learning

PARTS/AREA FOR PROCESS DESCRIPTION

Former cleaning process; Cleaning of former basically is to

Acid/BMD dipping tank prevent impurities to be carried to
Shower tank chemical dipping area. It is
BMD tank important to ensure former is clean
Cleaning brush area so that it can reduce defect cause by
Hot water tank blower lacking in cleanliness of former.
Chemical dipping process; To build film and latex film on the
Coagulant tank former. As we already know, gloves
Latex tank are produced from rubber (latex)
Glove cooking process; Gloves need to undergo curing
B oven process regards of their properties.
C oven
Main oven
D oven

 Process flow learning

PARTS/AREA FOR PROCESS DESCRIPTION

Gloves cleaning; Glove needs to be celaned from

Pre-leach excess chemical and neautralizer
Post leach *chlorine is used to modified gloves
Soak surface.
Neautralizer
Rinsing

For donning purpose; Glove will undergoes rolling process

Beading to create bead and helps to ease the
Pre-roller glove to strip out from former.
Stripping are; Gloves are stripped out from former
GSR using GSR and puller will completely
Puller remove glove from former.

2. Identify defect on glove, the reason and root causes.
Type of defect (Major
defect)
Stripping tear / cut
Daily activity
Reason Root causes
Stripping method • Not follow correct
sequences
• Pull one hand
• Long or sharp fingernails
Mechanical fault – GSR / GSM • Clamp disorder / pull
length setting out
• Dry powder / roller
condition
• Air jet pressure and nozzle
condition
• Glove too short / difficult
to strip
Process control • Dryness / cureness
(vulcanization)
• Not enough powder /

 Impact of defects

Affected area Impact

Customer  FDA detention
 User complaint
 Loss customer
 Bad reputation
Operation cost  High in rework cost
 Double work in packing
 Higher waste
 Required wore resources -

3. Maintenance work
a. Main drive maintenance
- Main drive act as generator which is to generate the movement of
chain inside production plant

Components Parts to service

• Motor • Oil inside the gearbox

• Gearbox • The gear and bearing inside the
• Shaft gearbox and motor
• Chain coupling • Rubber coupling
• Oil seal • Grease
 Daily activity

b. Cleaning brush maintenance

- Control parameter :
 The condition of brush
 The brush rotation
 Brush is contact to former
 Changing schedule
- Maintenance of cleaning brush involving :
 The cleaning brush’s brush
 The shaft and universal coupling that control the movement of cleaning brush
 Motor
 Daily activity
c. Pre roller maintenance
- Pre-roller process area must be monitored to maintain the production line in good maintenance.
- Control parameter.
 Pre-roller adjustment
 Brush condition for pre-roller
d. Main chain oiling
- A daily check up on chain is to ensure the chain is always wet which is covered by oil
e. Pillow / plummer block greasing
- Ensure that grease inside plummer and pillow block is clean.
- Remove old grease.
 Daily activity

4. Process control checklist

 Process control checklist is done because hot box failed happened ( glove does not
withstand with certain temperature ) and temperature reading on control panel
board does not accurate.
 To overcome the problem, temperature reading is being taken manually at certain
place. The temperature reading was taken at :
- Cooling tank
- Rinsing tank
- Pre leach tank
- Former after main oven
- Former after D oven
 Daily activity

5. Safety audit
 Make sure all worker wear personal protective equipment (PPE).
 Make sure all emergency exit door not being blocked.
 Make sure all equipment are being stored in right place.
 Make sure walkway path not being blocked by any item.
 Make sure all emergency alarm are functioned.
6. Monitoring machine efficiency
- Monitor GSR and puller.
- Adjust master control panel board that control the movement of GSR and puller.
- Adjust nozzle at GSR to make sure the air pressure does not too high.
 Mini project
 Title : Leaching project on conductivity

 Objective :
1. To identify the quantity of total dissolved solid in cleaning tank ( pre- leach tank, cooling tank
and rinsing tank ).
2. To re-arranged the cleaning schedule for pre-leach tank in order to save manpower.

 Action taken :
1. Check the quantity of total dissolved solid in cleaning tank.
2. Control the flowrate of hot water in the pre-leach tank.
3. Check the temperature of coagulant and latex tank.

 Conclusion

 As a diploma student of Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), I would like to say

that this training program is a golden opportunity for us to get to the ground
level and experience things that we could have never gained during class
study. I am very grateful that the course offered an industrial training as one
of the subject as the training has become an eye opener for students to
actually feel the reality of working in industry.
