What is paint?
Paint is defined as a unique homogeneous mixture of three
major ingredients namely Binder, Pigment, Additives.
When it applied on the surface as a thin layer that forms a solid
dry adherent film after oxidation/evaporation/ polymerization.
The word paint covers whole varieties of decorative and
protective coating that are used to impart a high degree of
protection to engineering, building, and other materials.

an electrical power feed into subsidiary load plane board.

Load panel board:-Is a kind power panel board has

component of an electricity
Powersupply
unit:- system which divides
an electrical power feed to any load.
-Bus bar
-Circuit breaker
-Step down transformer
-AC to DC converter
-Fuses
-Grounding or earthing etc.

Control unit:-is the brain of the plant in which

the overall operations are controlled and governed
by PLC.

13
PLC is a special form of microprocessor-based on controller that

uses a programmable memory to store instructions and to

implement functions such as logic, sequencing, timing, counting,

and arithmetic to control machines and processes.

14
Input and Output device for PLC
The main applications of PLCs are industrial automation and
control of industrial equipment’s.
Input device:-The term sensor is used for an input device that
provides a usable output in response to a specified physical
input.
Output device:- The term actuator is used for the device that
transforms the electrical signal into some more powerful action,
which then results in control of the process
They are output devices which are used to convert energy into
some form/kind of motion
15
The Challenges we have faced
It was so difficult to be familiar to some new technological
machinery.
we haven’t theoretical knowledge about PLC before the
internship so it was difficult to easily understand it.
The Measures we have taken
we tried to observe them with the electricians,
To understand about PLC and other electrical device we
read different books.

16
 Internship Benefits Gained

 AUTOMATIC POCKET PAINT FILLING AND PACKING SYSTEM
USING PLC
Identified problems
In Nefas Silk Paints Factory there are some
problems we identified during our stay for
internship. The main problems are:
Project and Lack of Belt conveyors controlling in case
Contribution of it all works are did in human labor. Some
of this are:- transporting, labeling, packing
etc
The company needs more sensor and other
materials to produce more paint.

21
Objectives
The main objectives of our project is to design the controlling
system and the advantages of the uses controlling technology
for Nefas silk paints factory during paint productions by using
PLC.
Specific Objective

To minimize physical labor.

To minimize time for maintenance.
To minimize wastage time for productions.

To identify the problem easily when the fault is occurring on.

To increase the speed of paint production

To increase the quality of paint production
22
Scope of the project
The scope of our project is not wide. There are many
advanced technologies, which are mainly designed for belt
conveyor controlling system in other factories. Because of
this, the scope of our project concentrates only in nefas silk
paint factory.

Limitations of the project:-

This project is much applicable, but it has some limitations or
some drawbacks. The limitations are listed as follows:
It requires many sensors and switches
It requires LED
It requires belt to be install
It requires different types of23 motor
Conceptual frame work of the project
The designed circuit mainly works by using PLC to control the
whole process. The PLC receives an input signal from the primary
elements which are sensors and photo receiver (camera) by its input
module and then the PLC’s CPU will control and give the feedback
to the output module of the PLC and then the output components
will receive a working signal to the conveyor motors.
A PLC is an industrial computer used to monitor inputs and based on
its program or logic, to control (turn on/off) its outputs to automate a
machine or a process.

 Conclusion

We have been working and train for four month duration in

Nefas Silk Paints Factory for internship case. The program
or internship it is the most useful program mainly for the
Conclusion
and student to get so many experiences and knowledge. On the
recommendation
other, it is also useful for the company.
In Case of upgrading and improving our theoretical and
practical knowledge we understand many things.
As an electrical engineering student we try to solve problems
in company using programmable logic controller on using
conveyor belt and we prepare project to solve their problem.

29
Recommendation
For company:-
We would like to recommend that nefas silk paints factory should enhance
that have many limitation during paints production.
Adding additional machine with the old machine
Modify all the system control of old line with the computerized system.
Modernize the production of paint using new technology, such as Belt
conveyer using PLC controlling to transport.
For university:-
Also we would like to recommend that Bule Hora University should have
many limitations during our internship and all that we studies. We can try
that limitation as follow:
The university should give different software as one course before
internship.
We understand that the controlling components are the back bone of all factories
and it is essential for the world. So that university must try to fulfill different
types of component.
The university must communicate with the company deeply in order to
30
solve the complex situation for the student.
