Design of pulley system for transferring the oil samples from ground floor to 3rd floor at company in Kapar Klang / Mohamad Ridhwan Mohamad Yunos

In the oil industry, for example, the wasting time has a detrimental impact on the company's production. At Sumber Petroleum Cemerlang Sdn. Bhd. (SPC) the process of transferring oil samples to the Quality Control (QC) lab costs a lot of time wasted by using manpower instead of using a proper mechanism method. The problem at SPC can be solved by proposing a proper mechanism method for the process of transferring oil samples. This project is focusing on designing a pulley system for transferring the o i l samples t o the Q C lab t o reduce the transferring oil samples time. Research journals or previous studies conducted by previous researchers have been collected as a reference to complete this study. The simulation of the design has been done by using computer-aided design (CAD) software which is CATIA V5R20. For the simulation, the mechanism of the pulley works when the motor is turned on and it will cause the basket attached with the rope in the pulley system to move down through the window of the QC lab on the 3rd floor to the ground floor. Once the basket is filled with the bottle of oil samples, it will move up back to the QC lab. The result obtained shows that the use of a motorized pulley system is better than manpower for transferring the oil samples. The time taken by the pulley system for transferring the oil samples was 160s and it is better than using manpower that consumes 420 - 480s to walk from the ground floor to the QC lab. From the recorded time taken by the pulley system, time-saving gained was about 62 - 67 percent by using the motorized pulley system. Besides, by using this proper mechanism, any dangers or risk of hazards to the workers can be avoided as the worker have to walk up the stairs for transferring the oil samples. The safety of workers also can be optimized. Hopefully, this project can be a better solution for SPC company to overcome time wasted while transferring the oil samples to the QC lab on the 3rd floor of the company.
