Abstract

The aim of this project is to design and develop a shock-absorbing or suspension system for a waste or trash collector conveyor. Perbadanan Pembangunan Sungai Melaka contributed with this project. In order to absorb the wave energy generated by the Melaka River Cruise and the natural waves from the Melaka River, a suspension system will be installed on the trash collecting conveyor. However, the trash collector's conveyor system is not operating as efficiently as it should be due to this significant problem. In order to fix the issue, a shock absorber or suspension system must be installed on the conveyor, and the choice is chosen based on the suspension's durability to weather corrosion and low maintenance costs. Utilizing a three-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) system or Inventor Software was used to create a prototype scale model of the suspension system's actual pieces or assembly. In addition, analyze and study wave force and drag force from previous studies to obtain the amount of force produced by rivers and boats. The analysis will be used in Inventor Analysis to ensure the suspension system is strong and safe to use. At the conclusion of this study, a fully working trash collector is anticipated to be collecting rubbish along the Malacca River's waterfront. The trash collector conveyor would also help the Malacca River solve the problems of pollution of the water. The installation of a trash conveyor system in Sungai Melaka shows a dedication to environmental sustainability, enhances the cleanliness of the river, and fosters community involvement.
