SAVING THE USE OF ELPIGI GAS IN THE OVEN MACHINE (CALCINATION) USING THE ENERGY SAVING MODE METHOD AT PT. ABC

Abstract

Energy has become a basic need and as one of the main components in the industry, one of which is the ABC factory, one of the efforts to reduce production costs without affecting the results or quality of production is by means of safe energy modes PT. ABC is a manufacturing company engaged in the machinery industry which produces catalyst products for two-wheeled vehicles and four-wheeled vehicles. Broadly speaking, there are several stages of the catalyst manufacturing process, namely the Slury material preparation stage, the process of inserting material into the catalyst on the Cyzec machine, the material gluing process on the Calcination Oven machine, the OK product stamp process, the Final Inspection process. This research was conducted on the Drying oven machine, the line that uses elpigi gas. Based on the period January - June there has been an increase in the amount of gas bills used, After using the Energy Safe Method the amount of gas used decreased by 1 cubic every day and saved expenses in the period January - April.
