Diseño y construcción de un prototipo de prensa automatizada para compactar al menos 20 botellas plásticas por minuto

Abstract

The present document focuses on the design and construction of a prototype press aimed at compacting 20 plastic bottles per minute. This prototype aims to provide a cost-effective and efficient alternative to optimize productivity in plastic bottle recycling.

To carry out the design and construction of the machine, a thorough study of various pressing methods was undertaken. This analysis included exploring various alternatives for materials, mechanical components, and electronic elements. The data collected in the first chapter served as the basis for this process.

Using engineering software, each of the pieces that make up the machine's structure was designed and simulated. The resulting model underwent detailed analysis in the second chapter, leading to the selection of suitable materials and the most efficient pressing method for this task.

To verify the press's functionality, a series of tests were conducted to validate its operation. These tests covered crucial aspects such as pressing quality and production times. The results obtained in these tests are analyzed and used to make additional adjustments. The results of the tests are presented in the fourth chapter.

Finally, the conclusions and recommendations derived from the development of this work are presented.
