Journal Title: Advance Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Discoveries - Year 2018, Vol 30, Issue 30
Abstract
The study done on this paper focuses on “improving the loading capacity of LPG bottles of the gas filling centres in Cameroon”. It came at a time when the demand for LPG bottles is growing. The absence, failure, and efficiency of the gas filling centres have a direct influence to the economy of Cameroon, whereas the filling of these bottles is a key element in the production chain. The loading operation to the trucks is an important task in the gas filling centres. The objective of this paper is to design a palletizer to reduce the loading time of LPG bottles and to ensure the safety of the workers. To achieve this goal, the adopted methodology begins with a functional analysis of a palletizing unit, followed by the choice of components and then sizing these different components. The LPG bottles under study have a diameter of 290 mm and a height of 600 mm. The classic process of palletization retained has many advantages in particular a high speed and its flexibility. The loading capacity of the palletizer is 14 bottles per minute. The unit is consist of 2 pneumatic cylinders of 300 mm and 700 mm length, 80 mm and 160 mm as rod diameters respectively. It also consists of 2 chain conveyors having 0.18kW and 0.55kW as engine power. This work had improved the performance of the studied filling centres by 36.81%.
