    The document discusses the need for an effective material handling system to reduce damage, improve efficiency, cut costs, maximize space, and improve safety. It outlines that all material handling activities should be planned considering material flow, gravity, space utilization, safety, automation, equipment selection, and standardization. The document then classifies materials as gases, liquids, semi-solids, and solids, discussing common handling methods for each. It also discusses handling liquids and semi-solids in containers or pipes. For solids, it distinguishes between unit loads which don't require containers and bulk loads which do. Finally, the document lists some common industrial equipment used for material handling including vehicles, conveyors, ho

    Need for Material Handling System

    Reduce damage of materials during storage & movement Improve efficiency of production system Cut down indirect labor cost Maximize space utilization Minimize accidents while moving materials Reduce overall cost Improve customer service

    All material handling activities should be planned System Material flow maintenance Gravity Space utilization Unit size Safety

    Automation Equipment selection


    Standardization Flexibility Dead weight capacity

    Characteristics and classification of materials

    Gases Liquid Semi-Solid

    Solid

    Handling Gases

    Common method of handling large volume of gases is through pipes, cylinders by the help of compressors, blowers, etc.

    Color coding

    Handling Liquids & Semi-Solid

    These materials are handled Open & tight containers and Conveyed through pipes using Suitable pumps.

    Handling Solids

    Unit Load
    No need of container. E.g. table, chair, marble.

    Bulk Load
    Need of container E.g. sand, plastic granules.

    Classification of Unit Load


    Shape of unit load Position of C.G. of load Mass of unit load Volume per unit Type of material

    Specific properties Load sensitivity

    Industrial vehicles & trucks

    Conveyers

    Hoist, elevators & cranes

    robots / special purpose
