SYNOPSIS
The technology of pneumatics has gained tremendous importance in the field of
workplace rationalization and automation from old-fashioned timber works and coal mines to modern machine
shops and space robots. Certain characteristics of compressed air have made this medium quite suitable for used
in modern manufacturing and production industries. It is therefore important that technicians and engineers
should have a good knowledge of pneumatic system, air operated valves and accessories.
A pneumatic system consists of a compressor plant, pipe lines, control valves, drive members and related
auxiliary appliances.
The air is compressed in an air compressor and from the compressor plant the flow
medium is transmitted to the pneumatic cylinder through a well laid pipe line system. To maintain optimum
efficiency of pneumatic system, it is of vital importance that pressure drop between generation and consumption
of compressed air is kept very low. Pneumatic material handling system is used to move the components from
one place to another with a maximum weight of 3.5 kg. It is used in the following places:
•Chemical laboratories
•Welding
•Foundry, etc.
INTRODUCTION
 Material handling is a necessary and significant component of any productive activity. It is
something that goes on in every plant all the time. Material handling means providing the
right amount of the right material, in the right condition, at the right place, at the right time, in
the right position and for the right cost, by using the right method.
 It is simply picking up, moving, and lying down of materials through manufacture. It applies
to the movement of raw materials, parts in process, finished goods, packing materials,
and disposal of scraps.
 In general, hundreds and thousands tons of materials are handled daily requiring the use of
large amount of manpower while the movement of materials takes place from one processing
area to another or from one department to another department of the plant. The cost of
material handling contributes significantly to the total cost of manufacturing.
 Handling and storing materials involve diverse operations such as hoisting tons of steel with a crane;
driving a truck loaded with concrete blocks; carrying bags or materials manually; and stacking palletized
bricks or other materials such as drums, barrels, kegs, and lumber.
 The efficient handling and storing of materials are vital to industry. The primary objective of a material
handling system is to reduce the unit cost of production.
 The other subordinate objectives are reduction in manufacturing cycle time, delays and damage, Promotes the
safety and improve working conditions, maintain or improve product quality Promote productivity,
reduces tare weight, control inventory, promote increased use of facilities
 Need For Material Handling

• Reduction Of Labour And Material Coast.
• Reduction Of Overall Cost.
• Increased Production.
• Increased Safety.
• Increased Storage Capacity.
