Implementación de un sistema de mezclado industrial para bebidas preparadas en la Planta de Lácteos de la ESPOCH.

Abstract

The actual work’s tittle was developed to give an optimal solution to the precise amount of mixing times, and the final product temperature for the “Mixing of Prepared Beverages in the Lacteos site at the ESPOCH” we compiled and analized all the necessary information and it was determined that the food products in their mayority are fluids not Newtonians of medium and low viscosity, therefore an agitator of pallet type is the most appropriate to mix beverage. The mechanic, electronic, pneumatic and hydraulic system desing, was the most appropriate for the process, trying to optimize the available resources. The system in its totally was built in stainless steel 304, and it has been controlled by a PLC working together with the Arduino microcontroller, which are in charge of received the data from de the level’s sensors, temperature’s sensors, buttons, processing and controlling the system’s started as a electrovalves hydraulics, pneumatic cylinder, heating resistant, DC motor, throughout to use of relay, circuit potency, and relays of solid state. The system in its totally is controlled by an user interface (HMI) designed in the open system from Android open code, making use of Google’s official tool to develop the applications in the Android Device, this interface communicates with the system through the wireless technology Bluetooth 2.0 and allows a better control of the System. Thereby reducing the time up to a 50% in the preparation of beverages, with the implemented system against the manual form. The design of equipment containers makes it easy to clean and prevents from old waste accumulation, as much as bacteria proliferation.
