Diseño y simulación de un envasador automático para diferentes frutas deshidratadas

Abstract

This document describes the design of a dehydrated fruit packager, validating its operation, through a simulation process, for which the electrical, electronic, mechanical and pneumatic materials necessary to automatically package up to four different types of dehydrated fruits will be chosen. It will begin with a study of the benefits of dehydrated fruits, after which the operation of packaging machines for granulated solids, the dosing system, storage hoppers, and the packaging and sealing processes will be analyzed to identify the characteristics of the process following the NTE INEN regulations OIML R 87 determining through analysis the selection of the best design alternative for this project. After several design alternatives, a module of four independent hoppers with a volume of 6416 cm3 each and the operating mode of a volumetric space dosing system to obtain 100g of product, a roller guidance and drag system, were chosen, and a clamp sealing system which, through calculations and the SolidWorks system. Tests and simulations of the structural design were carried out through load and safety factor tests in addition to the simulation of the electrical, electronic and pneumatic circuits, thus validating the operation for future implementation.
