Construcción e implementación de un FULON semiautomatizado para el tratamiento de pieles menores para el laboratorio de curtición de la Facultad de Ciencias Pecuarias -ESPOCH.

Abstract

There was realized construction and implementation of a semi-automated Fulon was performed in the laboratory of tanning of the Faculty of livestock Sciences-ESPOCH. In order that learners can carry out their practices and develop knowledge, skills and technical skills in the process of treatment of skins. With the purpose to define the material, mechanical components and electrical required for the treatment of skins was conducted a scheme, it was established that the Fulon must be composed of: wood mascarey, bolts of stainless steel, aluminium fittings, pulleys; the electrical elements are: gear motor, variator of frequency, LOGO 230, timer. The Fulon dimensions are 65 cm long and 1 m in diameter and its maximum load is 150 kg. During assembly it was verified the correct alignment of the components, the adjustment of the elements of subjection, and then proceed to the programming of the LOGO 230. Then the performance test were carried out in vacuum and then, once you have verified that there is no water leakage is proceeded to perform the test with face maximum and verified operation in manual and automatic mode. The Fulon has several alternatives for different types of treatment of skins, for its versatility it is very helpful when performing test in the laboratory. It is recommended to operate it before use of the manual of operation and training by the teacher in charge of the internship, also it is necessary to continue the maintenance manual, to realize the checklist to avoid the accelerated deterioration.
