Materials Handling Principles and Equipments

This document discusses materials handling principles and equipment. It defines materials handling as the art and science of moving, packaging, and storing substances. The key objectives of materials handling are to lower costs, improve safety, contribute to quality, increase storage capacity, and increase productivity. The main principles outlined are to eliminate unnecessary handling, keep materials moving, use simple flow patterns, and carry full loads using gravity when possible. The document describes the main categories of materials handling equipment as storage and handling equipment, engineered systems, industrial trucks, and bulk material handling equipment. Common types of conveyors, cranes, elevators, hoists, and trucks are listed.

MATERIALS HANDLING
DEFINITION
Materials handling is defined
as the art and science of
moving, packaging and
storing of substances in any
form.
SCOPE OF MATERIALS
HANDLING
Three perspectives about
materials handling

The traditional point of view
Plant-wide concern for overall flow of
materials
The systems point of view
IMPORTANCE
Subset of plant layout
Manufacturing
operations
OBJECTIVES
1. Lower unit materials handling costs
2. Improved working conditions and greater safety
in the movement of materials
3. Contribute to better quality by avoiding damage
to products by inefficient handling
4. Increased storage capacity through better
utilization of storage areas
5. Higher productivity at lower manufacturing cost

MATERIALS HANDLING
PRINCIPLES
1. Eliminate handling
2. Keep moving
3. Use simple patterns of material
flow
4. Carry pay loads both ways
5. Carry full loads
6. Use gravity
MATERIALS HANDLING
EQUIPMENT
Material handling equipment is all
equipment that relates to the movement,
storage, control and protection of
materials, goods and products throughout
the process of manufacturing, distribution,
consumption and disposal.
Four main categories:
1.storage and handling equipment
2. engineered systems
3. industrial trucks
4.bulk material handling.
