ERAWAN
LMW INDUSTRIES SDN BHD (formerly known Keloil-LPG Cylinders Sdn Bhd) was incorporated on the 13th
May, 1996 with an authorized capital of RM50.0 million, comprised of RM30.0
million ordinary shares and RM20.0 million redeemable preference shares of RM1
each and an issued and fully paid-up capital of RM38.5 million, comprised of
RM24 million ordinary shares and RM14.5 million redeemable preference shares.
With
effect from 12th May, 2011, Keloil Sdn Bhd has disposed part of its
shareholdings in Erawan LMW Industries Sdn Bhd (Erawan) to 3 new shareholders,
namely, Rosmawati binti Yahya (25%), Siri Laosirichon (20%) and Mohan A/L
Krishnan Kutty (10%). Erawan was formed
in conjunction to the changes in the shareholdings and management.
The
main plant is located at Kampung Kemayang, Tawang, Bachok near Pantai Senok. It
is built on a 8 acres piece of land. With the state-of-the-art technology
machineries from Germany, it is capable of manufacturing domestic and
industrial cylinders of various sizes, typically 12 kg (26.2 L water capacity),
14 kg (30.4 L and 30.6 L water capacity) and 50 kg (108 L water capacity). It
has the capacity to manufacture 300,000 cylinders per annum. The plant started
its operation in August, 1998.
The
main thrust of Erawan is to
produce cylinders that could meet the highest quality specification as required
by our customers. Erawan also
provide refurbishment services to the oil and gas customers on existing
cylinders in the market. That is, to either requalify (RQ) the cylinders
by repairing and replace necessary parts or recondition the cylinders to
include shot blasting or simply repainting process, resulting in almost
brand new cylinders.
We
have set up another plant at a rented premises at Section 51, Petaling Jaya to
cater for the huge refurbishment business potential on “Requalification (RQ)”,
“Shot Blast Repainting”, “Rebranding” and “Reconditioning (RC)” of 12kg, 14 kg
and 50kg LPG cylinders. The plant is fully operational in November, 2012 with
an annual capacity of about 800,000 LPG cylinders per shift.
All
the process requires stringent quality control with various testing being
conducted and includes third party professional verification and certification.

MANUFACTURING OF CYLINDERS AND
REFURBISHMENT PROCESS
The manufacturing of cylinders and
refurbishment process utilized the state-of-the-art machineries mainly imported
from SMG, Germany situated on a 8-acre plant in Bachok, Kelantan.
The Bachok plant has a storage capacity of
600 metric tonne of hot rolled coils of steel imported from Japan and Korea at
any one time. The finished goods area can accommodate 5,000 cylinders at any
one time.
The plant
manufacturing process starts with blanking and shearing of hot rolled coil
steel to produce circular blanks, stay plate and other parts.
To produce the body
of the cylinders, it requires the circular blanks to undergo deep drawn process
to produce top and bottom cups.
Each top cup requires
fixing a bunk for subsequent installation of a valve, normally supplied by the
customers. The stay plates with embossed manufacturing details as required by
customers, are welded to a pipe ring to form the shroud. This shroud will be
welded to the top cup for assembly.
Each bottom cup
requires a footring. Each footring undergoes a notching and rolling process
before welded to the bottom cup.
The cups require
trimming and beading process before welded together with circumferential
welding machines. For 50 kg cylinders, it requires to produce the middle part cylinders
before welded to the cups.
Each complete
cylinders, requires to undergo further necessary processes such as annealing,
hydro test, shot blasting and metalising before it goes to painting process.
The plant provides either the oven baked or simply air-dried painting.
Before finishing the
cylinders, it requires to undergo further process such as the weighing and
stamping according to the specification requirement, valve screwing and finally
to pump in air for the leak test, which require immersing the cylinders in
water.
At all stages of
production, the quality control teams certify the components as acceptable
before allowing the process to continue. A sample of the produced cylinders
requires a burst test to be certified by a professional third party.
The refurbishment process for used LPG
cylinders requires to degas any remaining LPG in all the LPG cylinders and
depending on the condition of the LPG cylinders, the process for RC may require
the replacement of shroud, footring or both plus annealing and metalising.
Other refurbishment process include hydro test, shot blasting before the
cylinders undergo the painting process and finally leak test.
