 PREFACE
After a very short period of time when I joined J.I.E.T for engineering course,
recession started showing its effects. Even before a month of my training
program scheduled time very few companies were visiting in the campus and
those too with, not good opportunities. When Ingersoll-Rand offered internship
to the college, I found myself fortunate to get selected for the company which
has a huge brand name and great reputation in the world of business.

I’ve always been a mediocre student during my college days and don’t have any
industrial experience, so for me this one month was the only opportunity to
expand my maturity level and to mould my intellect according to the industry.

When I arrived Ingersoll-Rand, Naroda. I was asked to go through each

department, by my Mentor. This is the time when I have to look for the
opportunities to work with such a reputed multinational company. During my
training I came to know about the working of the company and also during
discussions, it appeared that they are facing lot of problems related to delivery
& quality of products from the suppliers. This was rather the first issue
discussed with me.

The time I reached my place, I received a warm welcome by department

members. During the meeting with the production manager of each department I
could feel the amount of expectation from me to carry the wave of
improvement, brought by the employees, to next level.

 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Apart from my effort, the success of this training depended on the

encouragement and guidelines of many others. I take this opportunity to express
my gratitude to the people who have helped tremendously in the successful
completion of my practical training.

First of all I am extremely grateful to Mr. Rahul Wadhwa, Head H.R for
allowing me to understand the infrastructure governing the vast aspects of
compressed air solution at Ingersoll-Rand, Naroda.

I am thankful to Mr. Kalpesh Joshi, Head-Tactical Sourcing for his phenomenal

support and help. Without his guidance and encouragement towards the
training, the training would not have accomplished.

I would also like to thank Mr. Vishal Kumar, Quality Assurance & Mr. Vijay.
V. Vagh, Supply Chain for their support.

Last but not the least; I extend my gratitude towards my institute, our director,
and the faculty members for providing me with this opportunity to accomplish
my undergraduate engineering training.

15
 MANUFACTURING OF CENTRIFUGAL
COMPRESSOR DEPARTMENT
Ingersoll-Rand is a worldwide leader in centrifugal technology. Since 1911,
Ingersoll-Rand has designed and manufactured centrifugal compressors to meet
industry requirements. These design capabilities led to the creation of the
CENTAC product line in 1968. In 1980s centrifugal technology expanded to
several different applications. In 1968 first packaged centrifugal compressor
was introduced. In 2005 Ingersoll-Rand offered the first centrifugal compressor
for standard industry. In 2007 Ingersoll-Rand was first to be ISO 8573-1:2001
Class- 0 certified for centrifugal technology tested by TÜV Rheinland®, a
global leader in independent testing and assessment services.

The CENTAC air compressor is a reliable and efficient, integrally geared,

multistage centrifugal compressor that is designed to provide oil-free
compressed air or nitrogen, for indoor or outdoor applications.
CENTAC air compressors are designed as fully packaged units including an air
end, a driver, an air cooling system, a self-contained lubrication system, and an
Ingersoll Rand developed state-of-the-art control panel with PLC.

16
An Ingersoll Rand centrifugal compressor comes with a capacity advantage of
as much as 15% above competitive two-stage, oil-free compressors. This
advantage increases to as much as 30% as our capacity remains consistent,
while other technologies degrade by up to 15%.

Principle of operation:
1. Air enters the compressor through the machine-mounted inlet control
valve and flows to the first stage where the impeller imparts velocity
energy to the air.
2. The air proceeds through the diffuser section, which converts velocity
energy into pressure energy.
3. The built-in intercooler removes the heat of compression, which
improves efficiency.

17
4. Air passes through a stainless steel moisture separator in a low velocity
zone to remove condensate.
5. Moisture carryover is eliminated when the air is forced to change
direction 180º to enter the next stage.

Advantages:
1. Less is More- Fewer moving parts mean more reliable, safer compressor
with less downtime and less maintenance. With multi-stage compressors,
one can hit required performance easily and with less wear & tear than
with any other compressor on the market. Greater efficiency, reliability
and unique features and controls provide an unbeatable combination of
energy savings and trouble free life.
2. Balanced and Stable Rotor Assemblies- Impellers feature a vane
geometry that allows maximum pressure control over the widest
operating range. Each rotor assembly is dynamically balanced between
two hydrodynamic bearings to ensure low vibration and peak operating
efficiency.
3. Superior Bearings and Carbon Ring Seals- Because rotors are so stable,
simple bearings can be used with no moving parts. The rotors never
contact the bearings, but rather spin on a film of oil. This permits long
intervals between scheduled maintenance checks. The compressors also
feature full-floating, non-contact carbon ring seals to minimize air
leakage and prevent oil from migrating up the rotor shaft.
4. Vertically Split Casing- The exclusive vertically split casing permits easy
opening for servicing the compressor components as well as for setting
running clearances externally, without opening the unit.

1. Iron & steel industry.
2. Air Separation.
3. PET Blow Moulding.
4. Textile industry.
5. Chemical industry.

 MANUFACTURING OF ROTARY COMPRESSOR
DEPARTMENT
The rotary screw air compressor has become the most popular source of
compressed air for industrial applications. A major reason is its simple
compression concept. Air enters a sealed chamber where it is trapped between
two contra-rotating rotors. As the rotors intermesh, they reduce the volume of
trapped air and deliver it compressed to the proper pressure level. This simple
compression concept, with continuous contact cooling, allows the rotary screw
air compressor to operate with temperatures approximately one half that
generated by a reciprocating compressor. This lower temperature enables the
rotary screw air compressor to operate in a "fully loaded" continuous duty cycle
24 hours per day, 365 days per year, if necessary. Its ability to operate for
extended periods of time makes the rotary compressor ideal for demanding
industrial applications.

Principle of operation:

Rotary screw compressors use two screws to compress the gas. The screws are
driven through a set of synchronization gears. Gas enters at the suction side and
moves through the threads as the screws rotate. Clearances between the threads
decrease and compress the gas. The gas exits at the end of the screws. The
effectiveness of this mechanism is dependent on precisely fitting clearances
between the helical rotors and the chamber for sealing of the compression
cavities. In an oil-flooded rotary screw compressor, lubricating oil bridges these
gaps, providing a hydraulic seal.

27
In an oil-free compressor, the air is compressed entirely through the action of
the screws, without the assistance of an oil seal. They usually have lower
maximum discharge pressure capability as a result. However, multi-stage oil-
free compressors, where the air is compressed by several sets of screws, can
achieve pressures of over 150 psig, and output volume of over 2000 cubic feet
(56.634 cubic meters) per minute (measured at 60 °C and atmospheric
pressure).
In an oil-flooded rotary screw compressor, oil is injected into the compression
cavities to aid sealing and provide cooling sink for the gas charge. The oil is
separated from the discharge stream, then cooled, filtered and recycled. The oil
captures non polar particulates from the incoming air, effectively reducing the
particle loading of compressed air particulate filtration. It is usual for some
entrained compressor oil to carry over into the compressed gas stream
downstream of the compressor.

 MANUFACTURING OF SMALL RECIPROCATING
AIR COMPRESSOR DEPARTMENT

A reciprocating compressor or piston compressor is a positive-displacement

compressor that uses pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver air at high
pressure.

The intake air enters the suction manifold, then flows into the compression
cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion
via a crankshaft, and is then discharged.

32
In this unit assembly, testing, painting & packaging of small reciprocating
compressor takes place. The whole assembly unit is divided into two parts, one
is N line assembly & other one is T line assembly. This division has been done
depending upon the size of the compressor. Each line is divided into 5 stations
on which assembly of different parts takes place. The testing of both the lines is
done separately. The testing is usually takes place in two phases, in first phase
leakage testing takes place & in second phase the proper working of the
compressor is tested. If any defects found on any model then that particular
model will be marked as a rejected piece. Before assembly all the bare parts that
are imported from different other shop directly goes to the paint booth for
painting. After all testing is over the model transferred to packaging shop where
the final packaging is done for the shipment to different customer according to
their order for the particular model.

Ingersoll-Rand, Naroda annual business is about 22 million USD from small

reciprocating compressor and annual production rate is about 80,000
compressors per annum. The production of small reciprocating facility

BUS AIR CONDITIONAR MANUFACTURING

DEPARTMENT
Reason for expenditure:

• The current India bus HVAC business model is based on importing KRS
units from Shenzhen, China. This model has resulted in limited market
penetration (300/annum, with 70 for OEM & 230 for private operators)
due to inflated sales price. The sales price is a result for high transfer
price from Shenzhen & import duty / VAT.

• Through local manufacturing Ingersoll-Rand can eliminate significant

import cost (inbound freight, customs charges, etc), reduce manufacturing
cost & improve market penetration (new base volume 445/annum with
15% year over year growth). The net results of these actions are a positive
OI business with a quick return on investment.

• Ingersoll-Rand plan to use 200m2 of free space in the existing Industrial

Technologies sector facility to establishing a manufacturing. Present

45
 investments in assembly & testing equipment are limited to USD 95.6K
& onetime expense of USD 111.6K.

• The Naroda facility has available space for building expansion as

Ingersoll-Rand’s business grows in both retail & transport markets.

• As ESA are launching a new lower cost modular HVAC unit is called X-
900, IR want to introduce this to the Indian market under name of XRT.

Project phases:

1) Import complete unit from Kolin in order to introduce into Indian market.

2) Import full kit from Kolin & assemble in Naroda.

• Kolin ship unit without mounting fans, blowers, controls & harnesses in
order to reduce labour.

• Naroda make final assembly & test.

• NOTE: Full kit change customs code from “Bus HVAC unit” (HST
8415.20.10 with duty of 10%) to “Bus HVAC parts” (HST 8415.90.00
with duty of 10%).

• So unfortunately no change in duty.

46
 3) Import main component from Kolin or direct from global suppliers.

• Localize hoses, harnesses, skinning etc. In India.

• Naroda make assembly & test of HVAC unit. Crate & skip to OEM/
dealer.

4) Full local manufacturing using local & global sourced material.

• Naroda make assembly & test of HVAC unit. Crate & ship to OEM/
dealer.

• Kolin get benefit of low country cost sourcing.

BLOWER MANUFACTURING DEPARTMENT

Blowers are used where require relatively constant air flow rate at varying
discharge pressures.

Principle of operation:

It consist of a pair of involutes profiled (shaped of 8) lobes rotating inside an

oval shaped casing, closed at ends by side plates. One lobe is driving lobe which

49
is driven by external power while the driven lobe is driven by a pair of equal
ratios gear. Both the lobes thus, rotate in same speed but in opposite direction.

As the lobes rotate, air is drawn into inlet side of the cylinder & forced out the
outlet side against the system pressure. With each revolution four such volumes
are displaced. The air which is forced out is not allowed to come back due to the
small internal clearances within the internals of the machine except a very small
amount called slip. There is no change in the volume of air within the machine
but it merely displaces the air from the suction end to the discharge end against
the discharge system resistance. Since the lobes run within the casing withy
finite clearance, no lubrication is required. The air thus delivered is 100% oil
free. These blowers deliver practically constant flow rate independent of
discharge pressure conditions. The flow rate is dependent largely on the
operating speed.

The main fields of use of blowers:

• Water purification (oxygenation of basins )

• Pneumatic transportation ( under pressure & under vacuum )

• Filtration

• Paper mills & sugar works

• Chemical industries (gas loops, blowers, etc.)

• Numerous special applications (methane carries, mechanical compression

of steam, evaporators, etc.)

COOLERS MANUFACTURING DEPARTMENT

In the last quarter of 2009 the Naroda team launched Ingersoll Rand India’s first
ever IPAC cooler & CENTAC CC-700 heat exchanger set, another testimony to
the changing product landscape in the plant. Heat exchangers are vital
constituents of compressor package & until the recent in house development IR
were heavily dependent on a couple of exclusive vendors. In fact for the large
reciprocating machines being exported, the heat exchangers were largely being
imported due to lack of an ASME certification to Ingersoll-Rand’s facility. Not
satisfied with the progress Ingersoll-Rand’s project team had gone ahead &

60
released the design of the 8*7 & 9*7 coolers & are now working assiduously to
procure the critical ASME certification by June 2010 to cater to Ingersoll-
Rand’s export strategy. The broader objective of this initiative is to be self
reliant & enhance customer satisfaction by reducing lead time & improving
product performance.

The products that Ingersoll-Rand manufactured are 7*5ESV IPAC cooler &
CC700 heat exchanger but with the new development 8*7 & 9*7 coolers
material received & under localization. 3C2 under development of designing
process. So ultimately the saving per cooler can be calculated as follows:

• 7*5 ESV – 295$

• CC700 – 1229$

61
This shop is also divided in to various sub-stations, where different type of
activity takes place such as Tube bundle assembly, Tube bundle & shell
assembly, Expansion & Tube to tube sheet expansion. Expansion of pipe is
done so that the coolant (water) that will flow through heat exchanger will not
come out from the circumferential spacing of the tube. The machine that are
used for the expansion is called Expander & the specification of the expander
are given below:-

Wattage – 400.

Trip time – 5 seconds.

Reverse time – 1 seconds.

Pause time – 3.9 seconds.

Mode – trigger, auto, fast.

STORES DEPARTMENT

In this department the supplier are the outside vendors, machine shop &
assembly. The goods received may be finished & semi finished. It may be
inspected or may not be inspected. If inspected goods are there then it directly
shifted to rack where all inspected goods are kept. Even store have to supply
goods to the assembly & machine shop whenever required. For this the planning
department gives a pick list to store department in which each & every item
description, their location i.e. rack no. & bin no. Are printed & even number of

62
quantity required is printed. Stores department have to supply those items to the
respective department. Now if any item is missing i.e. if there is any scarcity of
any item then the store department have to consult with the planning
department. In short store department is attached to machine shop, assembly,
inspection & testing, purchase & planning department.

Different job is assigned to different employers working in the store department

& that is called description. This is shown as under.

used properly. The HR department is having a great responsibility.

INSPECTION & TESTING DEPARTMENT

In this department various job after coming from outside vendor, machine shop
& assembly is been inspected & tested. Sometimes the part is inspected & tested
by the outside vendors & so not necessary to be inspected, such parts are
directly moved to store department. The parts if any defect or fault is observed
then are rejected & again send back to respective department. Here in Ingersoll-
Rand, Naroda plant non destructive testing is been carried out like:

• Hydro testing.

• Dye testing.

82
 • Ultrasonic testing.

• Magnetic testing.

Hydro testing:

This testing is done in order to check whether there is any leakage in the part or
not. In this test the part under consideration is filled with water. Actually the
various parts used in compressor like cylinder is having a water jacket, this is
because the temperature while working goes so much high that it has to be
cooled & so water is being circulated inside the water jacket & thus it becomes
cool. In this hydro test water is filled inside this jacket at some pressure & then
is kept for some time, if the pressure decreases then it is said that there is any
leakage or somewhere else. If the defect is seen by naked eyes then it is ok but
if not seen by naked eyes then it is again tested under dye testing which is
another non destructive testing.

Dye testing:

This type of testing is done in order to find out is there any discontinuity in job
or not. Such testing is done on crankshaft, connecting rod, etc. In this testing as
special type of chemical is applied on the surface of job & is allowed to make
dry. There after it is removed & again another chemical is used. If there are any
discontinuities then the first chemical applied is absorbed inside the job & the
defect can be seen with naked eyes. Dye testing can be used only to find defects
on the upper surface of the job, but if there is any inter defect then ultrasonic
testing is used.

83
Ultrasonic testing:

It is done in order to find out if there are any discontinuities on the inner surface
of the job. Say for example a cylinder is having a bore if there is any defect on
inner surface then we can’t apply dye on the inner surface, even we can’t apply
dye inside the water jacket. So this type of testing is done. In this testing
ultrasonic wave is passed from the surface of the job & according to frequency
of the reflected waves the discontinuities can be find out. A special instrument
like CRO is used. The same technique used in radar for finding out the height of
aeroplane in aviation is used here.

Magnetic testing:

This is done in order to find out internal discontinuities of any job. Here
magnetic iron powder of very small grade i.e. having very minute granules is
spread on the surface of the job and a magnetic field is set on the job. If there
are any discontinuities then this iron powder form circles at the area where there
are discontinuities. This is because of difference in EMF. But this type of
testing is has a limitation that it can be applied only on ferrous material.
Material made of aluminium, copper, etc cannot be tested.

84
 QUALITY CONTROL DEPARTMENT

This department is responsible to check out the quality of the job manufactured.
Ingersoll-Rand, Naroda is an ISO 9001, ISO 14001 certified company & so this
department is very important & fruitful to the company. This department is
attached to all the other departments. In Ingersoll-Rand, Naroda quality of final
job is checked & also the quality of the work & the job is being checked when
the manufacturing is going on. This is done because if there is any change
required in the job while it is been in process then it can be done at that
instance. Thus rejection level can be decreased to minimum level.

This department is also responsible to check out that every employer is working
properly or not. Nobody should forget his/ her duties & also should follow the

85
 rules & regulation of the company. In the below diagram we can see the
attachment of this department with the other departments.

Quality control:
The Ingersoll-Rand facility in Naroda, Ahmedabad shall design, manufacture &
package process compressor with associate accessories for industrial application
develop & provide technical solutions & support the clients utilizing a quality
system that satisfies the requirements of ISO 9001 & ISO 14000 as a minimum.

The implementation of quality system requires a total commitment from

employee at all organizational level. It requires that only materials & services,
which fully meet the specified requirements, are processed to the next stage of
manufacture or shipped to the customer. Every employee is encouraged to give
creative ideas to improve processes. Every employee has the responsibility &
the right to request or review any process at any point of time if there is a
question related to quality or safety.

86
This quality manual outlines the system & procedures necessary to achieve the
Naroda plant requirements. Deviation or alteration from these systems &
procedure are not permitted without written authority of the general manger
operation/ head quality assurance.

This department is responsible for purchasing the various parts necessary in

manufacturing the compressors. Basically the parts of compressors are divided
into two categories.

1. Accessories.

• Pressure vessel.

• Heat exchangers.

• Motors (prime mover).

• Panels (electrical equipments).

• Instruments.

• Piping (valves).

• Other miscellaneous items.

2. Bare compressor parts.

• Cylinder.

• Piston.

• Distance piece.

• Connecting rod.

• Crankshaft.

• Piston rings.

• Other miscellaneous items.

87
These items are been designed by project & engineering department & the
indent, which includes drawing, & specification is passed to purchase
department for buying these items. There after the purchase department function
starts. This department rises inquires that how many vendors are available &
what are various price rate & specification given by them. Then the sorting of
the vendor is done i.e. which vendor is to be selected. This type of procedure is
done for all the items measured above. This inquiry raise is done through the
previous data or through site, magazines, etc. This department also does
negotiation with the vendor. Also other factor like what are delivery schedule of
the vendor, what are the requirements used by the vendor, etc are taken into
consideration. The quality control department after the manufactured of the
product visits at the vendor place in order to check whether the job assigned to
vendor is at the specified dimensions. Inspection & testing is done at that time.
This is called vendor assessment & performance ration of vendor. The purchase
department has to be in co-ordination with various departments like.

• Co-ordination with stores for clearing the rejection & also placing new
orders for rejected items.

• Co-ordination with quality control for deviation asked by suppliers.

• Co-ordination with engineering for clearing from inspection.

MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT

This department is responsible for the entire breakdown if there is any in the
company. Generally the breakdown occurs in the machine shop department. So
this department is a part of machine shop department. It is also situated in
machine shop. This department is connected with the stored department. If there
is any break down in the machine shop then the faulty part is replaced which is
stored in the stores. So maintenance department has to be in continuous
coordinated with stored department. The various processes to be carried out by
maintenance department are as follow:

93
Maintenance management processes:
• Prevention maintenance

• Condition monitoring

• Maintenance planning and scheduling

• Root cause analysis

• Material management

• Reliability and Maintenance Audit

Prevention maintenance is a process in which maintenance of the machine is

done every weekly or everyday as per the requirement. This type of
maintenance does not start when the breakdown of machine occurs. This helps
in serious break down and helps in the process of production. Actually in
Ingersoll-Rand, Naroda India Ltd. The machine shop is so much well handled
that maintenance is very low and has minimum work.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT

The department is responsible for planning all the activities of the machine shop
and all the release of order for the stores and assembly. In this department the
factory order receipt from outside vendor then it is been entered into the
planning department computer. Software named ZMRL is used. Here the goods
are classified and is entered into various categories like semi finished, finished,
casting and forged. According to the type of good the data is been entered. Then

94
if any goods are to be inspected then it is shifted to inspection and testing
department and if not required then shifted to store; assembly or machine shop.
These decisions are to be taken by planning department. The planning
department also decide the inventory levels in the stores. The technique used is
ABC analysis. Here the goods are classified according to cost. Goods like
cylinder; piston; connecting rod; crankshaft and distance pieces are not stored in
bulk quantities and goods like piping; values; nut bolts; and other miscellaneous
are stored in bulk quantities.

After receiving the factory order receipt from project department the planning
department produces a pick list and gives to the stored department. The list
consists of all items required for manufacturing the compressor. Then the stores
department issues all the items mentioned in the pick list to assembly where the
final compressor is manufactured. Planning department also receives the bill of
material from CE and QAP (QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN) receipt from
project department. The planning department is to work in coordination with
other department also like machine shop, assembly, purchase, engineering, etc.

SUGGESTIONS

1. It is observed that lot of time is lost due to material shortage, so need to

focus on internal planning of Production Department more to avoid such
time losses.

2. Considering ‘Torque’ issue in the assembly, application of correct torque

in assembly is important but more important is to maintain that calibrated
Torque value on tools.

95
• As CTQ, Dynamic Torque analyzer is suggested, and associate must be
motivated to analyze the respective torque values in morning.

• It is also observed that pneumatic guns used in the assembly also have its
own torque. So these Guns should also be analyzed after regular intervals
of time.

3. Currently for planning is done for a single day only. As assembly line has
been established for light industrial services so we should focus on
constant feeding of the respective line.

• Currently we are only focusing on one day production and feed the
line (LIS) acc. to one day plan only, as a result assembly line is
stopped when one days target is achieved resulting in fresh
beginning on the line. But assembly line should be fed constantly
so 2 days plan is must.
• Whenever there is man power shortage for the line, we start
assembling machine on a single station only, result of which line
concept is broken and thus affects the output when sufficient man-
power is available. Therefore, I strongly suggest that in place of
assembling the machine on a single station we should focus on
assembling the machine on line, at different stations. This will help
the continuous feeding and also when our work force will be
sufficient, on next day, we need not to start from the scratch to run

96
 the line. Continuous flow of the line would help in maintaining the
frequency of the line.

4. Resistance to change is found among associates in Rotary, so HR

department is requested to arrange some employee awareness program so
that they can understand how beneficial and important it is.
