Diseño e implementación de un sistema automático para decoración de pasteles en producciones a gran escala.

Abstract

This thesis project was made in order to offer an innovative product to the pastry food company of Ecuador. Now the time needed for coverage and cake decorating is minimal, notably by improving the quality of the finished. This different approach is presented, based on the high growth of the bakery industry in the country and the city. Design was done by replacing each step performed a pastry with automatic processes. We started from zero, so that each part is unique, there were no adjustments to other machines. Within the automated system are: mechanics, electronics and pneumatic components. Each is essential to make things work in its entirety. It was possible to obtain a processing time of 10 seconds of complete process coverage and net coverage time 1.8 seconds. The finished cover is excellent compared to a manual decoration. The nozzles decorated with various figures is also faster and better quality than by a baker. Times vary according to the type of decoration. Factors such as the speed of expulsion of cream and rotation of the table are directly responsible for the quality of the final product. Thorough cleaning of the system after use is recommended.
