Diseño y simulación de una máquina peladora de naranja y piña con capacidad de 250 y 75 unidades/hora respectivamente para la comunidad salesiana "SAN FRANCISCO JAVIER"

Abstract

The process of production of jams that takes place in the factory "la Carlita" located in the parish Facundo Vela of the canton Guaranda, decided to implement a method of peeling fruit that will help in reducing their working time and at the same time reduce the waste of fruit. To satisfy the need, the corresponding research was carried out on the different alternatives of fruit peeling machines that could be implemented and it was determined by means of a selection matrix that the best option is the machine with manual and automatic function. In conclusion, the selection by matrix is the beginning of the design and after that the various components of greater relevance are analyzed. When the corresponding calculations were made, it was determined that, in order to meet the stated goal of increasing production to 250 oranges and 75 pineapples per hour, the effective power for the engine is hp, being totally safe to handle by the operator. The operation of the machine would be given by the motor which would rotate a pulley system that drives a drag screw, After that advances the peeling blade of the fruits. Through the specialized SolidWorks software, critical parts were checked and analysed, the safety factor that was used in the calculations and at the same time with the simulation was verified that the dimensioning was correct.
