 Introduction
Hawassa Millennium Pepsi Cola plant is found in the southern region of Ethiopia and SNNPRS
on the southern edge of Hawassa city. It is licensed under MOHA soft drinks industry as 7th
plant of its sister companies. In 1999 the foundation of the plant was laid and completed the
whole building as well as more advanced technology machinery erection done and in august
2007 it started production. The plant was inaugurated on September 03/2007 and started
producing its licensed products for its customers officially.

As its applying very sophisticated machinery and advanced technology it is producing 36,000
bottles per hour of 300ml soft drink like Pepsi, Mirinda Orange, Mirinda Apple, Mirind Tonic
and 7up are produced by the plant.
Hawassa Pepsi Cola being distributing the products for local customers mainly southern parts of
Ethiopia.
. During the course of production of such products, a series of processes are carried out from the
start to the end when a product is finally dispatched for consumption. These processes are
carried out a serise of machines and their is also utillity lines help to prepare an ingredient or
product to be consumed in the corse of production of a product.
The power distribution of the plant is its main supply is EEPCO . Its contoll system is mainly
PLC control system.
The speed of AC motor generally depends on the frequency of the supply voltage and the
numberof magnatic pols per phase in the stator. Early speed controls depend on switch in
numbers of pols and contrll was only avilabel manually and in crud steps. Modern electronic
inverters make continuselly variabel frequncy supplys possibel permitting close loop speed
controll. For speed controol induction motor however, the supply voltage must cchange in
unison with the feriquency. This requires special voltage/hertz controller. This systm of speed
control is variabel feriquency drive(VFD).

1.1 BACKROUND OF MOHA
1.1.1 BRIEF HISTORY
Pepsi Cola traces its origins to 1898 when Caleb Bradham, a pharmacist in New Bern, North
Carolina, crated a curative drinks for dyspepsia called Pepsi Cola. Pepsi Cola later referred to
simply as Pepsi was a mixture of carbonated water, cane-sugar syrup, and an extract from
topical kola nuts. To sell this product, Bradham formed the Pepsi Cola Company in 1903. In
addition to selling the drink at drugstore counters, Bradham bottled Pepsi for sale on store
shelves. At this time, bottling was a new innovation in food packaging.
However, due to major increases in the price of sugar, Bradham began to lose money on Pepsi
and in 1923 he filed for bankruptcy. The Craven holding company of Craven country, North
Carolina, purchased the company’s assets. In 1931 Charles G.Guth of the loft company in New
York City purchased Pepsi cola from the holding company. Guth had difficulty getting the
business going again, but he increased sales by selling larger bottles at an unchanged price. By
1933 Pepsi cola was sold by 313 franchised U.S. dealers bottled in the United States, Cuba, and
England and sold in 83 countries.

 CHAPTER TWO

2 OVERALL INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE

2.1 The way to the company

First of all i would like to thank my mentor who help me join the hosting company by
communicating with the plant technical manager. Before I get into the company things came in
my mind; how one goes about getting a place in the company, I think it's important that you do
have a bit of concept. . After I joined this company I practice as an intern for 105 days.
Beginning from that day I tried to see the whole process and workflow of the company. After i
join the company it generally observation of instruments and power distribution of the company
for two consecutive weeks. That were as follow:
2.1.1 Power distribution
Input 15kv from EEPCO which is step-down by two transformers to 380-415 AC. There is
also a generator from main which used when power interruption from main supply. But this
generator is not an automatic since the power from EEPCO fluctuates for small period of
time which damages the generator. To protect the generator switch on/off manually. Then
the voltage described above go to LV (low voltage) room which sophisticated and the
voltages to all machines are distributed. Since the power (voltage) and current is in phase in
any power system but here the current lag the voltage because of inductive load. So, it needs
a compensation, that means the currents and voltages are become in phase by a capacitor.
The power factor is about 0.97.
