Diseño, instalación y control automático de equipo para el procesamiento de semillas forrajeras de alfalfa y trébol en la planta piloto de la comunidad de Pungal Grande-Guano Chimborazo.

Abstract

In the alfalfa and clover seeds pilot processing plant located in Pungal Grande, Guano, Chimborazo Province, the machinery for the seeds processing was set; the requirements of the facility and each machine is the starting point for the seeds processor electrical design, the required materials and other supplies. The phase supervisor circuit installed on the board, monitors the existence of three phases, it was designed and calculated to support the work full load of the entire facility, and in the control circuits all the variables which give digital signals and allow the power cycle mechanism were considered. The power circuits were designed and constructed according to the amount of current flowing through each one of them. The previous calculation helped to determine the values and percentage increases, so the calibration of each element could be in line with the consumption at full load, as well as the electrical materials used in control and power circuits; each control panel is clearly marked, indicating the operator the controlling variable, a ground wire net was also installed to ensure the good performance of the machinery and operators protection. It is recommended to create a maintenance department, responsible for keeping a journal of each equipment to ensure the operation of the machines.
