Diseño y construcción de una máquina motocultura de 7hp para el laboreo de suelos en la compañía Alqamari S.A., ubicada en La Joya de los Sachas provincia de Orellana

Abstract

The present project of design and construction of a motor-cultivating machine for the Members of the Company Alqamari SA, arose from the lack of use of technologies in the tillage that is carried out within agriculture on the lands belonging to the company, such a need reflected after a meeting in the Cantón La Joya de los Sachas with the President of the Cía. For this reason, it was decided to design and build a prototype to carry out soil tillage powered by an internal combustion engine, which meets all the requirements that were purchased. To size the equipment, the distance between crops was taken as a basis, so a working width of no more than forty centimeters was chosen. In addition, this equipment must be able to comply with a minimum force, which is determined by field tests carried out on soils that comprise the Cía. Subsequently, calculations were carried out for the design and selection of elements necessary in the construction of the machine. The same ones that are verified with the help of CAD software. In addition, field tests will be carried out to evaluate its operation. Finally, all the costs incurred in the construction of the machine were studied, and a financial analysis was carried out to determine the profitability of the project.
