Abstract

Indonesia is an archipelago that has a wealth of marine fish resources, and the country with the second-longest coastline in the world. The improvement witnessed in the economy of Indonesia in recent years, is as a result of the growth experienced in various sectors, among which is the fisheries and marine. To overcome this problem, a portable conveyor system of moving equipment for fishermen’s catches was designed. It can be placed at the dock or port where the fishermen are anchored and unloading the fishermen’s catches from the sea. It designed to have the ability to move up and down in the moving frame, making this conveyor system can be used both in high tides and low tides of seawater level conditions. The advantage of this portable conveyor system is could be done continuously with a little human power. Other than that, from the results of the calculations, known that with increasing motor rotation, the required traveling time will only become shorter. The resulting conveyor capacity shows an increase. Also, it can use drive motors that are available on the market with a power capacity of 0.37 kW. Therefore, the process of this portable conveyor system can be more efficient.

Summary

Introduction

Indonesia is an archipelago that has a wealth of marine fish resources with an estimated sea area of 5.8 × 106 km and is the country with the second-longest coastline in the world, which is 81 000 km [1]. There are at least five approaches in the empowerment of fishermen that need to be developed in order to run effectively, that is, development of alternative livelihoods, fund access, technology access, market access, and development of collective action [4]. At this time developed various kinds of appropriate technology to facilitate and streamline the work of the fishermen. One of the proper tools used to move the catches of the fishermen is the conveyor At this time, various types of conveyors were developed. The development of conveyor types to make it easier to transport and move the catches of the fishermen becomes a challenge and a solution for fishermen communities in their efforts to improve their economy and prepare for facing increasingly fierce competition
