Job Responsibilities
- Responsible for day-to-day operation and process control of the Aluminium Profile Anodizing Line.
- Monitor and control degreasing, etching, desmutting, anodizing, colouring and sealing processes.
- Control critical parameters such as chemical concentration, pH, temperature, current density, voltage, anodizing time and conductivity.
- Ensure proper profile loading, jigging, electrical contact and material movement through the anodizing line.
- Monitor rectifiers, cooling systems, pumps, tanks, heaters, agitators and circulation systems.
- Conduct and monitor chemical bath analysis and ensure timely chemical dosing/replenishment.
- Monitor anodized profile quality including coating thickness, colour/shade, surface finish, gloss and sealing quality.
- Troubleshoot anodizing defects such as colour variation, burning, stains, white spots, poor sealing, low coating thickness and surface defects.
- Coordinate with Production, Quality, Maintenance and Tooling teams to resolve process and equipment issues.
- Monitor and control RO/DM water quality, TDS, conductivity and water consumption.
- Coordinate with ETP/ZLD teams for proper treatment and recycling of anodizing wastewater.
- Monitor production output, rejection, scrap, chemical consumption and water consumption.
- Prepare and review daily production, process parameter, chemical analysis, rejection and downtime reports.
- Supervise operators and technicians and ensure proper manpower allocation and discipline.
- Ensure compliance with SOPs, quality standards, safety procedures and environmental requirements.
- Support new product/profile trials and process development.
- Implement 5S, Kaizen, process improvement, water conservation and chemical cost-reduction activities.
