ABSTRACT
PT. PAS is a company engaged in the manufacturing industry that manages palm oil into Crude Palm Oil (CPO)
and Palm Kernel (PK) with a capacity of 30 tons/hour. The method used in this study is Reliability Centered
Maintenance (RCM). This method can determine the actions of preventive maintenance activities on each
component of the screw press machine. This study aims to provide proposals for scheduling preventative
Maintenance of screw press machines using the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) approach and de-
termine appropriate maintenance actions in damage prevention. Based on the results of the research con-
ducted, it can be concluded that in the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) approach, it is known that five
types of damage are a priority for repair. The types of damage included in the repair priority are worm screws,
extension shafts, bearings, press cages, and oil seals. The proposed maintenance time for each critical com-
ponent is a worm screw component maintenance time interval of 307.84 hours, and changeover schedules
every 2035.3 hours. Component extension shaft maintenance time interval 279.5 hours, changeover schedule
every 1824.5 hours. Bearing components have a maintenance time interval of 300.2 hours and a changeover
schedule of every 1492.5 hours. Oil seal components maintenance time interval 286.1 hours, changeover
schedule every 2769.9 hours. Press cage components maintenance time interval 250.72 hours, changeover
schedule every 3277.8 hours. Actions are taken in the form of direct prevention of the source of component
damage based on the time or age of the component.
Keywords: Machine Screw Press, Preventive Maintenance, Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM).

INTRODUCTION
The machine is a tool with energy conversion to help facilitate human work [1]. The device
must be adequately maintained to keep the production process running smoothly according to
1
2
company expectations. Machine maintenance systems are generally divided into two, namely, Cor-
rective Maintenance and Preventive Maintenance [2][3][3]. Corrective Maintenance is a maintenance
activity carried out after the component is damaged or breakdown, while Preventive Maintenance is
carried out before the part is impaired [4]. The impact of periodic machine maintenance includes not
achieving production targets, losing production time, high repair costs, and low productivity [5]. In
addition, good Maintenance can extend the machine's life and prevent damage that can cause some
losses [6].
The research was conducted at PT. PAS at the press station is a company engaged in the man-
ufacturing industry, one of the palm oil processing companies. Found problems that occurred PT. PAS
is the frequent occurrence of damage to the machine that causes the production process to stop.
Damage to the production machine is caused because machine maintenance scheduling is not applied
regularly[7]. At the press station, there are several machines: fruit elevator machines, cake breaker
conveyor machines, digester machines, screw press machines, vibrating screen machines, and others
[8].
One of the machines at the press station that most often suffered damage was the screw press
machine. Some of the causes why the screw press machine becomes damaged, namely: the gearbox
inserts rough objects such as iron chips with a diameter exceeding the size of the screw, worn bolt
heads, the installation of the gearbox shaft and worm screw shaft is not suitable so that it can cause
shaft breakage, and operator negligence can also cause damage to the engine For example, when the
engine has vibrated violently, it can be ascertained that the engine has been damaged and the oper-
ator still forces the machine work. Damage due to interference with the Screw Press unit includes
leakage in the seal, damage to the worm screw, wear on bearings, damage to the drive shaft, damage
to the press cage, and short drive shaft screw press. The purpose of this study is to propose preven-
tive maintenance scheduling for screw press machines and determine appropriate maintenance ac-
tions to prevent damage.
The method used in this study, Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), is a logical engineer-
ing process for determining maintenance tasks that will ensure a reliable system design with specific
operating conditions in a typical working environment [9][10]. For this reason, proper maintenance
scheduling planning is carried out. Therefore, this researcher carried out machine maintenance sys-
tem planning using the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) method, and this method can deter-
mine the preventive maintenance activities on each component of the screw press machine [11].
METHOD
Data Collection
Primary Data
Primary data include production amount, machine maintenance system, causes of machine
failure, frequency of damage, engine operating hours, last year's engine downtime data, engine repair
time data, and engine change interval data [ 9] [10][13].
Data Processing
1. Identify critical components of the machine using the RCM method. The stages in the process of
working using the RCM Method are [14]–[22]:
a. Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA)
Used to determine consequences and decide what to do to anticipate, prevent, detect, or im-
prove them.
b. Logic Tree Analysis (LTA)
It is a qualitative measurement for classifying failure modes. Failure modes can be classified
into four categories, namely [23]–[29]:
Pohan, et al

c. Task Selection
It is done to determine the policies that can be applied (practical) and select the most efficient
task for each failure mode.
2. Preventive Maintenance Scheduling Planning.
Maintenance scheduling planning is usually done at planned time intervals. The level of
equipment or machine and load conditions determine this interval distance. Preventive
Maintenance can help extend engine life (up to 3-4 times) and reduce unexpected damage.
The RCM (Reliability Centered Maintenance) method performs interval policy and machine
maintenance activities. This schedule keeps the preventive maintenance program organized
and neat and does not interfere with the production process or other activities.
3. Proposed Maintenance System Improvement.
It is the proper maintenance system improvement plan to be implemented by the company
from the research results.
The data processing flow diagram in this study is shown in Figure 1.

Based on Table 2 of the Logic Tree Analysis (LTA) of the Screw Press Machine, it can be seen
that: Worm Screw components, Extension Shafts, bearings, and Main Shaft Short are included in cat-
egory B (Outage problem) in failure mode can shut down the system. While the Oil Seal Component,
Press Cage, and Ccs Connector are included in the D/B (hidden Failure) category, namely, the failure
mode that occurs cannot be known by the operator and can interfere with production.
Task Selection
Action selection is the final stage of the RCM process. A list of practical actions from each
damage mode is created. The Screw Press, Machine Selection Task, is shown in the table3

Based on Table 3, Selection of actions from damage to Screw Press Machine components, it
can be seen that Worm Screw Components, Extension Shafts, Bearings, Oil Seals, and Press Cages are
components included in the selection of Time Directed (TD) actions. Actions are taken in the form of
direct prevention of the source of component damage based on the time or age of the component.
The Ccs Connector component is included in selecting Failure Finding (FF) actions. The action taken
is to find hidden component damage with periodic inspections. The Main Shaft Short component de-
termines Condition Directed (CD) actions. The action taken is in the form of detecting damage by
inspecting components.

Figures 3 through 7 determine the distribution pattern corresponding to the data. The Prob-
ability Density Function (PDF) closest to the downward shifting line is the most appropriate to the
data, and it can be said that the data has followed that distribution pattern. To see the corresponding
distribution can use the information from the text output, which can be seen in Table 4.

Preventive Maintenance
To avoid downtime on the machine, the proposal is in the form of preventive maintenance
component maintenance using the Average Time To Failure as the maintenance schedule. At the
same time, the Maintenance of components with the proposed actions is shown in Table 6.
DISCUSSION
The Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) of the worm screw component was obtained from the data
on the machine repairs carried out, which was 9 hours, and the maintenance time interval for the
Worm Screw component was every 307.84 hours. Preventive maintenance measures for the worm
screw component can be carried out by directly preventing the source of component damage by re-
placing the damaged component with a new component. This action aligns with [30] research, where
his research on replacing actions reduces downtime from 7.29 hours/month to 7.08 hours/month,
or by 0.21 hours/month (2.85%). Meanwhile, the decrease in machine maintenance costs with pre-
ventive Maintenance was from IDR 14,469,590.00 to IDR 8,908,230.00, or a savings of 38%. The
MTTR of the extension shaft is 11 hours, and the maintenance time interval for the extension shaft
Pohan, et al

component is every 279.5 hours. Preventive Maintenance of the extension shaft component can be
done by tightening the bolts and nuts. If the bolts are loose and worn out, tighten the bolts or replace
the bolts, replace the damaged components. According to [31] research, optimal inspection fre-
quency is two times in one month, and availability is 98.87%. There are two results of suitable
maintenance activities: time-directed life-renewal task and time-directed life-renewal task & Failure
finding task. The Mean Time to Failure (MTTF) for bearing component damage is 1492.5 hours. The
maintenance time interval for bearing components is every 300.2 hours. Preventive Maintenance of
bearing components can be carried out by replacing bearings regularly according to a schedule and
not exceeding the service life of the components. These results are reinforced by [32] research re-
sults, namely maintenance time intervals and optimal replacement of Spring Carbon Brush compo-
nents on Callender machines that have a value of the highest reliability of 85% and occur in 35 days.
The most optimal replacement time interval is 18 days, and 16 component repairs occur in 1 year. •
Savings on downtime and costs incurred when carrying out preventive Maintenance for 35 days with
16 treatments of IDR. 2,880,000,-. Compared to before using the Age Replacement method, the com-
pany paid a fee of IDR. 4,590,000
CONCLUSION
Five types of damage are priority repairs. The types of damage included in the repair priori
are worm screws, extension shafts, bearings, press cages, and oil seals. The proposed maintenance
time for each critical component is a worm screw component maintenance time interval of 307.84
hours; changeover schedule every 2035.3 hours. Component extension shaft maintenance time in-
terval 279.5 hours, changeover schedule every 1824.5 hours. Bearing components maintenance time
interval 300.2 hours, changeover schedule every 1492.5 hours. Oil seal components maintenance
time interval 286.1 hours, changeover schedule every 2769.9 hours. Press cage components mainte-
nance time interval 250.72 hours, changeover schedule every 3277.8 hours. Actions are taken in the
form of direct prevention of the source of component damage based on the time or age of the com-
ponent.
