Replacement of the extruder machine chiller water pump

Project Overview

This project involved the replacement of the chiller water pump for an extruder machine at PT Hogy Indonesia to restore cooling system reliability. The work focused on replacing a degraded pump to ensure stable cooling water circulation, supporting continuous extruder operation. The replacement was completed within a single day without disrupting production activities.

Project Objective
The objective of the project was to improve cooling system performance and operational reliability by restoring proper water circulation for the extruder machine.

Project Scope

1. Engineering Assessment and Planning

   • Evaluation of the existing chiller water pump condition

   • Identification of performance issues affecting cooling circulation

   • Planning of pump replacement based on system requirements

2. Pump Replacement and Integration

   • Removal of the existing chiller water pump

   • Installation of a new pump with appropriate capacity

   • Integration with the existing chiller and cooling water system

Key Outcomes

• Restored and stable cooling water circulation

• Improved temperature control for extruder operation

• Reduced risk of overheating and unplanned downtime
