Reingeniería del sistema de control de una planta secadora de cacao en la hacienda María Delia

Abstract

In this work it developed a control panel and the infrastructure for the drying plant's of cocoa bean with control system automatic of temperature, as start point it proceeded to realize an analysis of cocoa drying process in the Maria Delia Farm's located in the Miraflores enclosure belonging to Montalvo Canton's, Rios Province's, taking into account the meteorological conditions presented in the sector it realized a studio for determinate if is feasible the develop of this project, also it realize a bibliographic review of the differents cacao bean dryer systems used commonly in the cocoa industry. It's proceed with the design and implementation of control panel using engineering software's, for the design it considerate elements and components that are of easy acquisition in the national market's for make the construction of control panel and it proceed to dry the cocoa during a determinate time.
