Diseño y construcción de una máquina dosificadora de shampoo con capacidad de 100 litros/hora para la fundación Familia Salinas.

Abstract

The present project is composed of the design and construction of a pneumatic shampoo dosing machine with a capacity of 100 liters in one hour, for the use of the company "Fundación Familia Salesiana Salinas". As a first point to be discussed, a preliminary study was carried out to know the current situation of the company related to the field of resources and labor used by the company for the production of natural shampoo of medicinal herbs. A feasibility analysis of the possible alternatives favoring the increase of shampoo production was carried out, reaching a final consensus that the pneumatic dispenser is the best option to meet the needs required by the company, initially the indicated materials were determined for the manufacture of the machine as well as its dimensioning, in the case of the elements that are in direct contact with the shampoo such as the hopper, the dosing cylinder, the nozzle and the spring, it was decided to select stainless steel of the AISI standard 316, for the generation of movement a pneumatic system was used which comprises the compressor acting as the source of compressed air and the actuator to generate the movement in this case a pneumatic cylinder which must meet the production needs. Finally, 3D modeling packages such as inventor and solidworks were used as dimensioning and simulation resources, which are the most used for their variety of applications.
