Diseño y construcción de una trituradora-tamizadora de arcilla para la elaboración de alfarería, con capacidad de 100kg/h, para la parroquia La Victoria, provincia del Cotopaxi

Abstract

The following project has the proposal to design and build a crushing-sieving machine that will facilitate the preparation of clay from the La Victoria parish, where potters usually carry out this process manually. The procedure to evaluate all the needs that the potters require in the preparation and it is possible to propose the best alternative of design and construction of a semiautomatic machine that facilitates the work and the time used in this process. With a working capacity of 100 kg / h, the machine receives the clay in the form of lumps, crushes and sieves it to continue with the next mixing process. For the sizing of the machine, the calculation of the necessary force that the hammers need to perform to crush the clay was performed. Check the Inventor software to calculate the axes that support the rotational speed and weight of the components. The SolidWorks program will use the drawings of: hammers, shafts, machine structure.
