Issue Date: May 2024
This unit typically covers items of equipment, such as:
tilting furnace
launders
casting moulds and/or casting wheel equipment
stacking and strapping equipment.
The plant technician would:
pour molten aluminium from the holding furnace to delivery launders
operate the casting equipment
stack and strap ingots as required
recognise and respond to 'out-of-parameter' issues
respond to emergency situations
identify and control hazards in the workplace.
Generally the operator would be part of a team during start up and shut down procedures and would be expected to be capable of demonstrating competence in all parts of this unit. At all times they would be liaising and cooperating with other members of the team.
If crane use is required, see also PMASUP237B Undertake crane, dogging and load transfer operations.
This unit does not require the operation of a central control panel.
This competency applies to plant technicians who cast aluminium ingots using mould casting methods.
