1.5 Process Description

The production process involves fabrication of plastic parts and assembly of

components onto printed wiring boards.

The main processes involved in the manufacture of the product have been as

follows:

Injection moulding of “non-cosmetic” plastic parts used in the assembly

of the products;

Paint and lasering of decorative cosmetic parts;

Surface Mounting Process and wave soldering mount processes (Printed

wiring board stuffing);

Final assembly of units (assembling plastic parts to Printed wiring boards);

and including inspection and testing of finished units.

There are six key steps involved in the production of the wiring boards as

follows:

1.5.1 Fabrication of plastic parts:

1. Moulding Process

Plastic granules undergo injection moulding. The moulds are annealed,

cooled and cleaned.

2. Painting and Laser Tech Process

Moulds (plastic parts) requiring cosmetic coating are coated with a

mixture of paint, thinner, and hardener using high volume low pressure

(HVLP) technology. Coated parts undergo a flash period of 15 minutes

followed by curing in an oven at 80oC.

Moulds are coated in two enclosed booths using automatic high volume

low pressure (HVLP) spray guns. Overspray is captured by a water curtain

and solvents are emitted without further abatement to emission point A1-

3. Solvent losses from mixing areas, flash off area and curing ovens are

emitted unabated through emission point reference A2-1. Solvent losses

from manual assembly process (flux and conformance coating) are

directed unabated to emission point A1-3 and A2-3. Emissions are

approximately 3 kg/hr.

Laser etching of some parts is also undertaken. Annual solvent usage for

this coating activity is estimated at 50 tonnes.

A flow diagram of the paint and laser process is appended as

Attachment D of the report.

3. Raw Material Detrashing

Printed wiring boards and components are delivered to the site and

packaging is removed.


Page 6 of 6

4. Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Process

Printed wiring boards are loaded onto a surface mount technology

machine. The boards are applied with solder paste, cleaned with solvent

to remove dirt and applied with glue (adhesive coating). Components

are mounted automatically onto the boards. The solder paste is cured

and the boards are inspected. Solvent used for cleaning in this area is

approximately 2.4 tonnes per year.

5. Final Assembly Process

Larger components from the SMT process are manually placed onto the

printed wiring boards in conjunction with Semi Automated Assembly

(SAM). Solder is applied with either a wave solder or by point spraying

application. A solvent flux is sprayed over the area to be soldered. A

solvent based protective coating (conformance coating) is applied to

the wiring board followed by curing. Approximately 17 tonnes of solvent

per year is used in this process.

Moulds and wiring boards are assembled and parts are manually cleaned

using solvent. Solvent usage in final assembly is 1.5 tonnes per annum.

1.6 Environmental Management System

Alps Electric (Ireland) Ltd. have implemented an Environmental Management

System (EMS) and are certified to ISO 14001. The EMS has been in place since

1997 and documents the overall management system that includes

organisational structure, planning activities, responsibilities, practices,

procedures, processes and resources for developing, implementing, achieving,

reviewing and maintaining the Environmental Policy.

Since 1994, Alps Electric (Ireland) Ltd. environmental preservation plans have

expanded to include a global management structure, and a corporate turn

towards “green” products. Lowering the impact our business activities have on

the environment is a necessary step in “perfecting the art of electronics”.

The company has prepared an environmental aspects register which identifies

potential environmental emissions associated with the site and the actions Alps

Electric (Ireland) Ltd. will implement to manage and prevent an environmental

incident. The objectives and targets of the EMS ensure conformance with the

IPPC Licence which are set a defined time period for achievement. These

include environmental training, awareness, and monitoring. Emergency

procedures associated with the operation of the site are also prepared as part

of the EMS.

compliance with your licence listing all

exceedances of licence limits (where

applicable) and what they relate to e.g. air,

water, noise.

ALPS Electric (Ireland) Ltd. is a Japanese owned company producing parts for the automotive industry. The

production process involves fabrication of plastic parts and assembly of components onto printed wiring boards.

Alps Electric (Ireland) Ltd. have implemented an Environmental Management System (EMS) and are certified to

ISO 14001. The EMS has been in place since 1997 and documents the overall management system that includes

organisational structure, planning activities, responsibilities, practices, procedures, processes and resources for

developing, implementing, achieving, reviewing and maintaining the Environmental Policy. The company has

compiled an environmental aspects register which identifies potential environmental emissions associated with

the site and the actions ALPS Electric (Ireland) Ltd. will implement to manage and prevent an environmental

defined time period for achievement. These include environmental training and awareness, and monitoring.

Emergency procedures associated with the operation of the site are also prepared as part of the EMS.

ALPS Electric (Ireland) Ltd. has an excellent compliance record for 2013, where 100% compliance was achieved

for all air and water licence limits. There were exceedances for daytime and nigh-time noise monitoring at some

boundary monitoring locations, however the boundary monitoring locations are not Noise Sensitive Locations. All

measurements within the residential area (AN6) were within both the daytime and night-time limits of 55dB LAeq

and 45dB LAeq (30minutes) respectively. Therefore, the site activities and plant operation at ALPS Electric

(Ireland) Ltd. is not resulting in a negative impact on the nearby residential area.

*Please ensure that a tonal analysis has been carried out as per guidance note NG4. These records must be maintained onsite for future inspection

nothing**If noise limits exceeded as a result of noise attributed to site activities, please choose the corrective action from the following options?

** please explain the reason for not taking action/resolution of noise issues?

Noise levels measured at the agreed monitoring points (AN-1 to AN-6) are attributable to both the operation of the ALPS facility and to external (transient)

sources, which are not associated with ALPS. Predominant among these other sources are vehicular movements associated with other commercial enterprises

operating within the industrial estate, which are a significant contribution to overall noise levels in the area.

All measurements within the residential area (AN6) were within both the daytime and night-time limits of 55dB LAeq and 45dB LAeq (30minutes) respectively.

Therefore, the site activities and plant operation at ALPS Electric (Ireland) Ltd. are not resulting in a negative impact on the nearby residential area.
