Diseño y construcción de una máquina mezcladora para recubrimiento de grageas con sistema de aire incorporado con capacidad de 5kg

Abstract

The following project details the design and construction of a machine manufactured in the country and of moderate cost, capable of making candy dragees, coating different types of cores such as macadamias, hazelnuts, among others with their respective covers. It is planned that this equipment will have the capacity to produce 5 kg of dragees, in addition to being user-friendly so that anyone can operate it. With these specifications, a rotating bowl is implemented that ensures angular movement and fulfills the function of It spreads the coating evenly and prevents the dragees from sticking to each other, in addition to incorporating a hot/cold air system to melt and solidify the coatings faster and more efficiently. With the design and construction of the machine, an economic and technological benefit is achieved in the confectionery industry, reducing costs, labor and time in the production of these products.
