A unit load As/Rs for work-in-process storage in a factory must be designed to store 2000 pallet loads with an allowance of no less than 20% additional storage compartments for peak periods and flexibility The unit load pallet dimensions are: depth(x) = 914mm and width(y) = 1219 mm. Maximum height of unit load is =1067 mm. It has been determined that the AS/RS will consist of four aisles with one S/R machine per aisle. The maximum ceiling height(interior) of the building permitted by local ordinance is 18 m, so the AS/RS must fit within this height limitation. The rack structure will be built 610mm above floor level, and the clearance Between the rack structure and the ceiling of the building must be at least 457 mm. Determine the dimensions(height,length,and width) of the rack structure.
A belt conveyor is required to deliver crushed limestone having a bulk density of 75 lb/cu ft at the rate of 200 tons/hr. The conveyor is to be 200 ft between center of pulleys with a rise of 25 ft.
