Indane gas company godown situated at road no.4 green hills colony sroornagar hyderabad 500035.
the surrounding area flats and houses with about600 inhabitants
are suffering the nose pollution since the start of the depo especially, senior citizens like me, housewifes and kids.
the full cylinders arethrown out of vehicle on the fllor and empty cylinders back into vehicle. RESULTING IN
1) UNBERABLE NOISE
2) RISK OF EXPLOSION OF FULLCYLINDERS
3) DESHAPING OF CYLINDER WHEN ONE IS THROWN ON ANOTHER
I HUMBLY SUGGEST that a great gaint like you caneasily avoid this by simple improvements in material handling.
my simple and positive suggestion is
I) to use gravity principle to roll the cylinders by using hard rubber lined inclind planes (like the kids slide in gardens) and roll full cylinders upto the foot of godown entrance-noiselessly, with out damage and you may save man power too.
the same process can be reversed for empty cylinders by making suitable patform-screw operated jack (or hydraulic).
2) a strong rotating chain (powered or manual) with lot of hooks spaced equal to cylinder width hook one cylinder to each hook and unload cylinder when it comes to the point. as the chain rotates slowly cylinders can be loaded at one pont and unloaded at the other.
as the chain rotates like looped conveyer it will be useful for loading and unloading.
I am an engineer worked in textile for 40 years and material handling is one of our prime job- for ease, saftey, cost saving.
i hope you will take this and put your r&d experts to implement as it saves, reduces sound, increase saftey and life of cylinders.
atleast 20% percent of cyliders are not in perfect shape (this is rough assumption and i cannot produce data)
thanking you,
yours sincerely
