Diseño de una máquina trituradora de hojas para la elaboración de té artesanal para la empresa Salinerito

Abstract

The current project focuses on the design and simulation of a hammer mill dedicated to crushing tea leaves, with a specific emphasis on preventing clumping during the process. The research addresses this issue through a detailed analysis of influencing factors, the incorporation of data from previous studies, and the presentation of a proposed model to achieve the established objectives. The experimentation includes tests aimed at calculating the necessary force in leaf crushing, optimizing the design of the hammers, and defining essential parameters as outcomes. In the economic sphere, a comprehensive analysis is conducted to assess the profitability of the hammer mill. This analysis involves a meticulous exploration of costs and benefits, providing a complete overview of the project, encompassing elements such as return on investment and payback period. The essence of this comprehensive approach is to achieve sustainable economic performance, highlighting the innovation in preventing clumping as a distinctive and essential component of the research.
