Design improvements and fabrication of conveyor belt cleaner and washing system at Westports Malaysia
Conveyor belts at ports are used worldwide to carry and transport various materials ranging from fertilizers to foods items such as corn, barley and soy beans from the cargo ship to the packaging site. A serious spillage and carryback problem existed at DB2 terminal, Westports Malaysia where lots of...

Conveyor belts at ports are used worldwide to carry and transport various materials ranging from fertilizers to foods items such as corn, barley and soy beans from the cargo ship to the packaging site. A serious spillage and carryback problem existed at DB2 terminal, Westports Malaysia where lots of chemical fertilizers (ammonium sulphate) were wasted to some extent and extra manpower was needed to shovel the spillage into the container. The floor was highly corroded due to improper washing and drainage system. The main aim of this research was to eliminate if not reduce spillage and solve the corroded floor issue. The primary and secondary belt cleaners were designed using CATIA software. These newly improved cost effective and simple designs of the primary and secondary belt cleaners together with a spray shaft and proper washing box were fabricated, tested and implemented successfully. The spillage was reduced tremendously and the washing system can prevent corrosion from happening in the future. |
