Repotenciación de un sistema de granulación de fertilizantes semiautomático utilizando platos rotatorios y tolva de dosificación continua para el sector agrícola

Abstract

The objective of this project is the repowering of a fertilizer granulation system in the agricultural industry. This system includes the design of additional elements to the production line such as conveyor belts, bucket elevator, and the redesign of granulator plates based on a previously acquired unit. For the repowering of the system, provisions that the company has are taken into account, such as: using elements in inventory so that their maintenance and replacement is consistent with the rest of the elements of other production lines, using the work areas delimited by the company, establishing parameters such as maximum horizontal and vertical distances according to the process, choose the elements that are necessary from catalogs predefined by suppliers, meet the demand for increased production, and make the budget moderate in order to recover the investment in relevant times. It must be verified that the mechanical calculations are correctly carried out in order to make a correct recommendation in the installation of electrical equipment to ensure the functionality and safety of the production line, this being an implementation of knowledge acquired from the branches of mechanics, design and electricity.
