Abstract

The project of “Design Improvement of River Trash Collector Conveyor Structure on Malacca River Boat” is aimed at design improvement of a river trash collector conveyor structured mounted on boats navigating Malacca River. This thesis examines in detail the technique used in improving the design of current trash collector conveyor structures. SolidWorks software was used to develop the current design of the river trash collector conveyor which every component and part were detailed design using the software. The dimensions of the components and parts were specifically considered in the design of the current conveyor. The project started with a throughout examination and measurement stage utilizing highly accurate tools like vernier calliper and standardise measuring tape to capture key dimensions of the current conveyor structure. 3D model of the conveyor structure was created using SolidWorks after all the dimensions were recorded, where the detailed model of the conveyor structure was created for stress analysis and simulations that been carried out to confirm the design and point out any enhancements also to detect any deficiencies in the current design. This required reanalysing modifications which are meant to show the weakness on the current design. Afterwards, a proposed design will be implemented to the current design to tackle the current design weakness. The SolidWorks design analysis was used to create a new improvement to the design to reduce all the possibilities that direct to design weakness. Initial design analysis makes it possible to argue that this new design does not only increase the structure design but also increase the durability and reliability of the new structure design.
