Requirements on timing and relations Definition of materials handling Organized motion of goods and materials which covers shorter distances and the state of the transported object doesn’t change. In a typical factory, MH accounts for 24% of all employees, 55% of the space, and 87% of the production time. It accounts for between 15% to 70% of the cost of a product. Relation of materials handling and logistics Requirements on timing and relations Materials handling Logistics Provision of materials’ transport services

Classification of transported goods Transported materials Piece-goods Bulk materials In natural form In loading units Gases Liquids Solid bulk materials

Classification of materials-handling machines Continuous operating materials handling machines Discontinuous operating materials handling machines Materials-handling machines Lifting machines Auxiliary devices Transporting machines Loading machines

Materials handling related features of solid bulk materials typically homogeneous materials transport and loading in greater masses, without packaging Materials handling related features of solid bulk materials: grain size (average, max, min) grain-size distribution bulk-density friction coefficient on solid surfaces moisture content cohesion friability (fragile) flowability abrasiveness corrosiveness temperature frozen health-threatening

Materials handling related features of solid bulk materials Examples : Ashes: abrasive when dry, corrosive when wet Charcoal: dusty (explosive dusts) Cement: entrains air, compacts in storage, must not contact with moisture Grass seed: gentle handling Sulphur: danger from static sparks, risk of ignition, corrosive when wet Iron ore: may be in large fragments Wheat: hygienic conditions
