Diseño y simulación de un equipo de dosificación de kéfir de leche con acoplamiento a un tanque con agitación y chaqueta térmica con capacidad de 120 l/h para la empresa Astimec S.A.

Abstract

This project consists of the design and simulation of a milk kefir dosing equipment with coupling to a stirred tank and thermal jacket with a capacity of 120 liters in one hour for the company Astimec S.A. In the first place, a study was carried out in which the current state of milk kefir production at the national level was verified, how production is carried out, the resources used and the optimization of resources for the preparation of milk kefir and its importance In the first instance, the alternatives that favor the increase in the production of milk kefir were selected, an analysis was carried out in which the best feasibility alternative was taken, based on the most viable options to satisfy the production and economic needs For the system to work as a whole, it is necessary that the parts that compose it work correctly and efficiently, making a synergy in all the functions included. For this reason, all the components were evaluated in order to make a correct selection of the following critical components such as: the dosing system, the heat transfer system in the tanks, the cleaning system, and the raw material with which will build the system, which will have the most appropriate characteristics for its function, which is the elaboration of a product for human consumption, these characteristics are governed by extremely strict standards of asepsis and good manufacturing practices. Finally, the 3D modeling and simulation program such as Inventor was used, which is of utmost importance in the dimensioning and simulation corresponding to the stresses of the critical components of the system
