Abstract

The Malacca River is one of the rivers affected by pollution in the world. Floating trash in rivers poses a significant threat to water quality. This paper aims to shed light on the urgent need for floating trash collectors as a viable solution to combat the growing problem of river pollution. This research scope is revolving around the study of the main body structure of the River Trash Collector System (RTCS) for its structural integrity. It in-volves a comprehensive review of existing literature on conveyor systems and an in-depth analysis of the RTCS's current structural design, focusing on strength and weight considerations. The research intends to propose new improvements for optimizing the main frame, considering functionality, feasibility, and its durability. The proposed improvements encompass structural design changes, material modifications, improvements to the lifting mechanism and connectors, and additional measures aimed at advancing its overall performance and longevity. The outcomes will contribute to recommendations for enhancing the structural integrity of the system, offering practicality for conveyor system design and optimization in the material usage.
