Desarrollo de un horno automático para la limpieza de ganchos que sirven de soporte a perfilería de aluminio en procesos de pintura en la empresa Cedal Durán

Abstract

The industrial field from its beginnings until today has evolved by leaps and bounds, it is no secret that for the most part, every industrial process involves machinery according to each process. These teams, in addition to generating great help and efficiency in each industrial process, generate certain types of risks inherent to each process. CEDAL DURAN, a metallurgical company dedicated to the manufacture of aluminum profiles, is no exception. In recent ´ months, the CEDAL DURAN factory has acquired painting machinery for the aluminum profiles they produce. This ´ process has several stages in which the profiles need to be secured with hooks typical of the machinery used. These hooks, after each painting or texturing process, end up covered with the same material that the aluminum profiles recover, which after several processes increases their thickness due to the adhered material. These, when they have several layers of paint, are impossible to use in your own painting machine since having several coatings do not make the appropriate coupling or in the worst case, they cannot be coupled at all. Currently, for each painting or texturing process, the 800 hooks that were included in the machine are used, and the cleaning method is a small electric oven with a capacity for 100 hooks, each cleaning lasting about one hour. Thus, the general objective was to develop an oven with an automatic process for cleaning the hooks, an oven that would not only achieve cleaning in less time but also have the capacity to store all the existing hooks in their entirety, speeding up and reducing the waiting time between each painting process.
