As is data ( Chennai Plant)
1. Total consumption of barrel item: 245 ton per annum & approx. 1229 barrels per annum.
2. Total sticking loss: 2.1 ton per annum & 3.32 lacks per annum
3. Expecting increase of Production and Hosur new operation – Barrel consumption will be very
high.
12. PROJECT OBJECTIVE
Recovery and reuse of Sticking Material Waste of the incoming High Viscous hazardous Chemicals
into the Prime Products by way of using new method of cleaning thro’ Innovative Barrel
cleaning Machine in Chennai KNPL unit.
BUSINESS OBJECTIVE
Effective usage of Raw Materials by way of reducing sticking loss / recovery & reuse into the final
Paint products to gain the value and to save the environment by the way of reducing the waste
materials .
Rs. 24.66 lacks per annum material loss under sticking category in KNPL Factory
TECHNICAL OBJECTIVE
To obtain Innovative method & machines for the recovery & reuse of the sticking
materials close to 14 tons Per annum and also to avoid manual painful activity
of cleaning.
Target : 85% Reduction of sticking loss
Chennai plant Considered for this Project & based on the success same will be horizontally
deployed to all other units of KNPL.
18. Finalised RCA –for less recovery of Materials based on Pareto & FMEA
Improper Wiping ( Positioning of Chain)
No Cyclic Rotation ( Top & Bottom surface contact with chain)
20. Brainstorming Session Output
1. Check the feasibility of existing method fine tuning
Team expressed fine-tuning existing method will not support RCA
2. Go with Market available Barrel cleaning Machine
Market available Barrel cleaning machine is not suitable for sticky material recovery.
Will be suitable for washing fresh barrels & non sticky materials.
3. Go with new Innovative Barrel Cleaning Machine with lesser cost
Best Idea
22. Specification of New Design
Diameter of drum used: 58cm
# Length of drum used: 87.5 cm
# Angle of tilt for cyclic motion: 30 deg
# Revolution of drum: 10 rpm
# Weight of the machine: 500 kg
# Cleaning chain: 1/4 inch link & 3 mts
# 1HP Motor with speed reduction Gear box.
Innovations:
Horizontal revolving motions of the drum through the plain rollers are converted into cyclic
( upside down, downside up & horizontal) to have better abrasion of metal chain link inside the barrel
and the chain link hinge position in the barrel to have effective cleaning of sticky material

26. Trial Run / Demo of Innovative Barrel cleaning Machine..
Trial run carried out with innovative barrel cleaning machine and achieved 95 %
chain and barrel contact area. Recovery of the sticky material is 90 %, which is
more than the target of 85% recovery

31. Benefits (all over plant):Benefits (all over plant):
1. Total sticking loss reduction from 5.8 ton to 0.42 ton for 5 month &
2. Cost saving approx. 9 lacks for 5 month
33. New Barrel Cleaning Procedure Ref No: KNPL /WI/EMS/35
Step 1: Weigh the Wt of the Individual
barrel
Step 2: Add the respective
solvent
in to the drum.
Step 3: Close the mouth with barrel using
iron chain lid.
Step 4: Place the barrel in to
cleaning machine.
Step 5:Close the barrel with
barrel locking key.
Step 6: Switch on the machine.
Step 7: Run the machine 3min in
Horizontal position.
Step 8: Run 3min in backward
tilting position.
Step 9: Add the respective solvent
in to the drum.
lid.
34. New Barrel Cleaning Procedure Ref No: KNPL /WI/EMS/35
Step 10: Switch off the machine in horizontal
position.
Step 11: Remove the barrel from locking
cover.
Step 12: Take the chain lid out.
Step 13: Place it in a respective collection
vessel & Allow the material to flow.
Step 14: Weigh the Empty cleaned
barrel and calculate the recovered
material.
Step 15: Mark the green Dot
in center of barrels.
35. On the environmental part, all the scrap barrels are taken up for
cleaning & to realize higher price on scrap selling.
Cost of cleaning Rs. 9.50 per barrel and the price realised Rs. 25
per barrel more .

Apart from the material waste reduction, this machine will used
for cleaning of used barrels to recycle / reuse for the sticky resins
like acrylic, alkyd, MF, Polyester etc., to the extent of 6 times in the
process
