Diseño del proceso para la elaboración de empastes para interiores y exteriores con el uso de polvo de cal para la empresa Minabradec CIA. LTDA.

Abstract

The present project has as aim to design the production line for the elaboration of a bicomponent filling for interior and exterior applications using lime powder as an aggregate for the company Minabradec CIA. LTDA. In order to give added value to lime and enter a new market. The experimental part was carried out in four stages in which the aggregates (lime and kaolin) produced in the company's facilities were characterized by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, obtaining the optimal formulation of bicomponent filling of the lime combination, kaolin, white cement, resin, and water. The formulation was compared with a commercial filling in terms of texture, coloration, adhesion, setting time and performance of the filling, based on the design variables obtained at the laboratory level, the production line was designed to obtain the filling and finally characterized the product obtained through the NTE INEN 8130-3: 2014 standard. The indoor and outdoor filling production line was designed concluding that this project is completely viable in terms of quality and quantity of bicomponent lime-based filling and it is ready to be implemented in the company Minabradec CIA LTDA.
