Reingeniería e implantación de maquinaria semiautomatizada para la microempresa de helados tropical salcedo.

Abstract

The reengineering and semi-automatic machinery implementation was carried out in the micro enterprise of ice cream “TROPICAL SALCEDO” in order to improve and increase the production. In the selection of the elements of the machine for the production of ice cream, catalogues have been taken as a basis, by conducting their respective design in order to simulate and to do their corresponding study in the Solid Works design and simulation software. Test have been performed to the machinery, by establishing compatible results with the parameters. This type of machinery is based on models prepared with creativity of the authors, which served to build the above mentioned machinery and add devices that allow carrying out the process of semiautomatic form. A sketch was made with the objective to determine the mechanical and electrical elements needed for the machine of ice cream, which is constituted by stainless steel, polyurethane, electrical engine, unit of condensation, PLC and contactors. The study of static loads allowed knowing the resistence that will support the structure. During assembly it was verified the correct alignment, adjust parts and components to proceed to the programming and interface of the PLC. The ice cream machine has a production capacity of 188 ice cream every hour, it can be adapted so that in the future be completely automatic, increasing production, and boosting the productive matrix of the country. It is recommended to operate the equipment prior to using the operational manual, and then apply its respective maintenance plan to extend the life of the components.
