Job Responsibilities
- Operate and monitor the Aluminium Profile Anodizing Line as per production plan and process specifications.
- Control critical anodizing parameters such as bath temperature, chemical concentration, pH, current density, voltage, anodizing time and conductivity.
- Manage process stages including degreasing, etching, desmutting, anodizing, colouring and sealing.
- Ensure proper profile loading, jigging, electrical contact and material movement through the anodizing line.
- Monitor and maintain anodizing rectifiers, cooling systems, pumps, tanks, agitators, heaters and circulation systems.
- Conduct regular chemical bath analysis and coordinate chemical dosing/replenishment as required.
- Monitor acid, caustic, sealing and colouring bath concentrations to maintain consistent surface quality.
- Ensure proper rinsing between process stages and maintain water quality and TDS levels.
- Monitor anodized profile quality including colour, coating thickness, surface appearance, gloss, uniformity and sealing quality.
- Troubleshoot common anodizing defects such as colour variation, burning, white spots, stains, poor sealing, low coating thickness and surface defects.
- Coordinate with Quality, Maintenance and Production Planning teams for smooth operation of the anodizing line.
- Monitor and maintain RO, DM and process-water systems used for anodizing.
- Coordinate operation of ETP/ZLD systems and ensure proper treatment and recycling of process wastewater.
- Monitor chemical consumption, water consumption, production output and rejection/scrap.
- Maintain daily production reports, chemical analysis records, bath parameters, downtime and quality records.
- Ensure proper chemical handling, PPE, safety procedures and environmental compliance.
- Supervise operators and technicians and ensure proper manpower allocation and discipline.
- Support 5S, Kaizen, process improvement, water conservation and chemical consumption reduction activities.
