PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

A learner who has achieved this unit standard will be competent in: Shutting down and performing basic cleaning and maintenance on a metallising machine to ensure readiness for further production.

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

To enter a learning programme for this unit standard or to be assessed against this unit standard, the learner is assumed to have: Literacy and numeracy at NQF level 2 Knowledge of the application of quality control on metallised paper Knowledge of preparing a metallising machine for metallising Introduction to the Tobacco Processing Industry

UNIT STANDARD RANGE

The learner is expected to perform the specific outcomes as reflected in this unit standard with minimal supervision, but with access to work-site procedures and operating instructions. The scope of this unit standard deals with the shutting down of a metallising machine after the metallising of paper rolls and before scheduled cleaning. Material includes different grammage metallised papers, masking tape, aluminium wire, graphite foil, graphite paint, and evaporator boats. Equipment includes, but is not limited to, expansion shafts, cores, special tools, hoisting equipment and pallet trucks.

Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria:

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 1

Prepare for shut down.
