Diseño y construcción de una peletizadora de alimentos balanceados con capacidad de 80 kg/h destinada al Grupo de Mujeres Emprendedoras Warmi Ruray del cantón de Guaranda, provincia de Bolívar

Abstract

The present thesis aimed design construct system producing balanced for guinea pigs form of cylindrical pellet, enabling a throughput of 80 kg/h. The pellets were designed with specific dimensions, featuring an approximate diameter 5 mm, length 10 mm. To achieve this objective, a pelleting machine was developed, equipped with a fixed die and rotating compression rollers. The design carefully considered the critical aspects of the process, including the mechanism for material feeding, product compression, pellet cutting, motion transmission. Specialized software was employed to perform the necessary calculations to ensure that the equipment met the desired capacity of 80 kg/h. The selection of materials was meticulously evaluated, opting for stainless steel for the die, rollers, and cutting tool, while the remaining components were manufactured from A36 steel and galvanized steel sheet. Operational and production test were conducted asses system performance, followed by a detailed cost analysis of construction pelleting machine. Results confirmed successful achievement primary goal of reaching the planned production capacity.
