Diseño mecatrónico de una máquina fajilladora de latas de cerveza para la cervecería artesanal La Paz

Abstract

The project focused on designing a can-folding machine for beer cans at La Paz Craft Brewery in Cuenca, Ecuador. After identifying deficiencies in the can-folding process at Plant 2, a proposal was made to enhance efficiency and quality. The design, informed by reverse engineering of effective market models, was tailored to meet La Paz's specific needs. With dimensions of 2.13m x 1.85m and a capacity of 10,000 cans per batch, the machine was divided into subsystems (electronics, electricity, mechanics, and control). Calculations and simulations were conducted to ensure optimal performance in the industrial environment of craft beer production.
