Temperature Analysis Inside Furnace for Optimization of the Production Process of Ribbed Smoked Sheet
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims to study the temperature inside the raw rubber sheet furnace in order to produce smoked rubber sheet and to analyze the temperature inside the furnace at various locations which affecting the quality of smoked rubber sheets according to the standard. The results showed that the design and construction of devices to measure the fumigation room temperature can be used to analyze the temperature inside the fumigation chamber and regularly control the heat. Such devices can increase the efficiency of heating by 25% and reduce the time to make the temperature equal throughout the furnace from 120 to 90 minutes. Moreover, it can be able to track the real-time temperature data when the temperature was too high which was a cause of a stove fire.
