Perancangan Sistem Monitoring Material Submerged Scraper Conveyor Pt PJB Up Paiton 1-2 Berbasis Iot

Abstract

Serves to transport bottom ash material produced by the boiler to the chute dump truck or to the bottom ash silo through the conveyor belt. The change in the use of coal from medium rank coal to low rank coal causes the volume of bottom ash material produced by the boiler to increase, so there are several problems including material overload, blockage in the transfer chute and damage to the crusher. Therefore, in this study, the design of a material monitoring system in SSC was carried out using the ubidots IoT platform. Researchers used ultrasonik sensors to measure the level of material on the scraper and then visualized it on a graph which can be accessed via the website. Then a warning is added via telegram when the material level is above 50 cm. Based on the test results, it can be concluded that the monitoring system that has been designed can display material level graphs stably with an accuracy of ± 2 cm on the online ubidots platform and successfully sends notifications via telegram when material levels are detected. >50 cm.
