Diseño y simulación de una deshidratadora de uvillas para una capacidad máxima de 25 kg

Abstract

The agriculture of the small village of Guachinguero and Moraspungo has no support of Otavalo and no value has been given to the products that in the present are growing. Pursuing to improve this situation, it ventures into the production of golden berry, which has great potential as a raw material in the dehydration process, and has many advantages for the trading, improving quality with relevance in the conservation of the fruit. Additionally, it increases the price of golden berry benefiting the communities. This article studies the viability to make possible the increase of new startups that will improve the social status of the indigenous communities under study. For the development of the article, the SolidWorks program was used for the designed and structural simulation of the machine, and the parameters of tension stress through the Von Mises method, displacements(URES), and the safety factor. Finally, the simulation showed that the mean tensile stress is 10,22 MPa, the mean displacement(URES) is 0,125 and the maximum 0,250 mm, it has a mean unit strain of 0,000041 mm/mm and maximum of 0,000082 mm/mm and a minimum safety factor of 20 the safety factor found ensures proper operation and safety of the equipment.
