Determinación de Fallas Mediante Análisis Vibracional en los Equipos Críticos del Área de Envasado, Pasteurización y Homogenización de la Empresa PROLAC.

Abstract

The present study titled “Failure Determination by vibration analysis on critical equipment in the area of packaging, pasteurization and homogenization of the Prolac Company” presents how energy is demonstrated in rotating machinery vibration. The main problems are the ongoing maintenance management and the problems that are associated with machine halt and re-initialization which affect production. Prolac had the need for a study of diagnostic vibration in key and critical equipment, specifically in three critical areas: packaging, homogenization and pasteurization. The study focused on high powered engines and a machine press for dairy milk treatment. In the structuring of the procedures and maintenance routine, a vibration diagnostic was used as a predictive maintenance technique to observe machine status on all machines. In addition, the factors which caused the problems were also detailed. The observed results led to diagnosis and recommend actions that were performed by the maintenance staff. The study served as a practical guide aimed at avoiding incidentals damage.
