Diseño y construcción de un máquina dosificadora de miel de abeja con capacidad 100 l/h, para la Asociación de Apicultores Asoprame ubicada en la parroquia Tabacundo cantón Pedro Moncayo

Abstract

In this Project, design and construcción of a honey dosing machine with a capacity of 100 L/H was developed for Asoprame Apicultores Ecuador association located in the parroquia Tabacundo, canton Pedro Moncayo. Chapter I deals with general issues about honey, types, properties, characteristics, in order to know about the fluid that the equipment will treat. Chapter II studies the different types of dosing machines that exist on the market, the filling methods to find a simpler and cheaper way to build this equipment and that meets all quality standards. The viability study of possible alternatives that increased honey production was carried out. In Chapter III proceed to design, the pneumatic dosing machine was selected because it has generated the best results and meets the needs of the Association. The appropriate materials were selected for the manufacture of the components that are directly in contact with the honey, such as the nozzle, dosing cylinder, the hopper was chosen to select stainless steel of the AISI 316 and AISI 304 standard; A pneumatic system was used, with a compressor being a source of compressed air that generates movement in the cylinders. Chapter IV analyzes the economic investment made taking into account the materials, labor, standard elements, to determine the total cost of the machine. The development of this project solves some of the disadvantage that Asoprame had at the time of packaging, on the one hand, the amount of product was not adequate in each container, this was solved by implementing a dimmable pneumatic cylinder, this makes that honey amount be the correct and does not vary in each packaging, the equipment being semi-automatic prevents the operator having contact with the honey, since to carry out the dosing it is done by a pedal, and the most important was to achieve the production increase with less labor.
