Diseño, Construcción y Pruebas de un Equipo Automático para el Sellado Térmico

Abstract

It has designed, built and made the necessary proofs in an automatic equipment for the thermic sealing of liquids. Using a methodology of design and choosing the best alternative in order to design and built the automatic equipment considering technological, economic and hygienic requirements. Other important thing in this project is the utilization of software, it allow save time, money and space. The equipment is completely disassembled, it make easy the process of maintenance and transportation, besides in the structure is located the different elements and systems. The liquid supply has an isobaric tank and a set of piping it allow the control of liquid´s volume through a pneumatic cylinder it gives a necessary pressure so it allow the thermic sealing of plastic faces. In the carrying system, the motion of the rubber rollers works through an electric motor it is joined by chain transmission. The system of horizontal sealing and cutting the motion elements move through two guide axles, they work by a pneumatic cylinder. The automatic control of each process works by a PLC. The proofs show that the equipment is able to give 1250 units per hour (bags of liter). For lower volumes the production increases proportionally.
