Diseño y simulación de una máquina clasificadora de tomates cherry en base al diámetro transversal

Abstract

In the degree work presented below, the design and simulation of a cherry tomato sorting machine is developed, based on the transverse diameter, in order to design a sieve type machine, therefore, structures were designed thinking in the distribution of the product by this magnitude of tomatoes, it was designed with the parameters and requirements of the food processing plant aleproca, bearing in mind that the biggest problem of the research is the fact that the regulations for sorting cherry tomatoes are limited to the needs of each company, therefore the parameters established for the appropriate needs for packaging are used, the composition and shape of the average cherry tomatoes are analyzed in order to analyze the load that will exert on the design, also inquired into the needs of cultivation, harvesting and cleaning prior to the operation of the machine to know their working environment. Different engineering software was used to design different elements and the relationship between them, thanks to this it was possible to carry out design studies to determine with certainty the safety, feasibility and return of this project, ensuring that if it is decided to implement it in reality it will be a safe investment, as well as the simulations that were performed.
