Diseño e implementación de un muestreador automático para cemento, instalado en un ducto de producto terminado

Abstract

The project "Design and Implementation of an Automatic Sampler for Cement" was carried out at a cement plant in Cuenca, Ecuador, with the aim of improving the accuracy, representativeness, and safety of cement sampling in quality control. An automated system was designed and implemented to collect samples directly from the finished product duct, reducing staff intervention and ensuring homogeneous sampling at scheduled times. The development included requirements analysis, mechanical and electrical design, manufacturing, programming, and testing under real operating conditions. Its implementation improved operational efficiency, reduced occupational risks, and modernized industrial processes, ensuring more rigorous and consistent quality control.
