Diseño y simulación de una máquina despulpadora de fruta con capacidad de 11L/lote para la comunidad de Facundo Vela provincia de Bolívar

Abstract

The basis of this project is the Design and simulation of a fruit pulping machine with a capacity of 11L / lot destinated to the community of Facundo Vela wich belongs to Bolívar province, it is located an hour and a half from Guaranda, through a visit it was determined the primary need of the community, which is the processing of fruit, because their livelihood is based especially on the production of jam which is exported to Italy and distributed in the area, due to the production and through a study of alternatives about pulping machines we opted for the design of a horizontal pulper because it presents better performance and complies with the theoretical aspects collected from the community with respect to the vertical pulper that was used. For the design, several parameters were considered, such as the space where the machine will be located, which was not large enough, also being a food processing machine it must be designed with food grade stainless materials such as AISI 316 steel, the table where it will be supported will be made of A36 structural steel, the power supply of the machine must be designed at 110 volts. The design was made in SolidWorks Motion, which is a computer-aided drawing software where it allowed to create and visualize each part of the machine as its assembly and simulation of movement that it must comply with.
