    Ventilation system inside production line for electronic component production needs to meet the factory standard. Because it can eliminate small particles which may cause of human or machine in production as well as it can distribute the circulating air temperature uniformly. CFD is used in this research in order to study the feasibility and plan for machine layout in production line before actual installation. The simulation shows the airflow in every area inside production line. From simulation with releasing the particles from human and machine is found that this ventilation system generates airflow that makes most particles float out of the machines and no particle downs to the conveyor, it results to contamination. In addition, the simulation also shows the range of 19-26 °C air temperature that meets the factory standard. The results of this research are the parts of the data to renovate the production line to get more efficiency and proper on the production.

    Contamination exceeds the standards in certain areas within the production line of hard disk drive (HDD) manufacturing, such as in the clean room of a factory. In order to find the cause(s) and solve the problem, we decided to use the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate the airflow within the production line. The results show the cause of contamination, which is from the exhaust fan installed in the electrical testing machine in the production line of HDD manufacturing, which releases large amounts of particles. To resolve this problem, the CFD results were analyzed to design and create a new cover for the exhaust fan. Once this invention is installed to the electrical testing machine, it can control the airflow to float into other areas that do not affect nor contaminate the product. The factory utilized this research. Other than solving contamination problems that exceed standards, it also saves production costs from purchasing new machines as well.

    Successful simulation of airflow in the microenvironment of an assembly automation machine and its implication

    Today, the hard disk drive (HDD) industry is using assembly automation machine (AAM) to construct head stack assembly (HSA) from smaller parts. AAM needs to operate in a clean environment with very low particle counts. To achieve this end, fan filter Unit (FFU) is used to supply purified air into the environment by filtering out airborne particles from recirculating air. In this study, we investigated numerically the airflow induced by FFUs inside a microenvironment that houses an AAM in an HDD factory. The boundary conditions chosen for simulation were directly derived from the real ambient conditions in this HDD factory. We found that the FFUs not only filter out airborne particles from the air supplied into the microenvironment but also act as a particle blocker, pushing away the nearby particles in the air surrounding the openings of the microenvironment. The findings from this study can be applied to cases where other kinds of machinery need to be protected from airborne particles. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
