Diseño de una tamizadora con capacidad de 600 kg/h para cernir la mezcla de materia prima usada en la fabricación de discos abrasivos

Abstract

In the present project, a vibratory sieving machine for abrasive particles was developed to enhance the manufacture of abrasive discs, thereby increasing efficiency and improving the quality of the final product. It was determined that the sieving process of the abrasive discs was performed manually, which decreased the efficiency in the production process. Several screening alternatives were considered, and it was concluded that the vibrating screen was the best option. For this reason, the design of a vibratory sieving machine was carried out using simulations in software such as SolidWorks and Altair Inspire, which demonstrated the safety and operation of the machine. On the other hand, the dimensions of the sieve shaker were made, to cover a quantity of 80 kg of mixture, and the necessary components for the proper operation of the sieve shaker were dimensioned. Finally, an economic analysis was conducted to determine the total cost of the machine, which is $ 1,875.70. The investment will be recovered in 4.43 years, indicating whether the manufacture of the sieve shaker is profitable for the company.
