Propuesta para automatización y control estadístico del proceso de extrusión de polipropileno en la Planta de producción Inducuerdas.

Abstract

The objective was to design and propose an alternative for the control of the process and the automation of polypropylene extrusion, to reduce production losses and improve energy consumption in the factory Inducuerdas, in the city of Riobamba, Canton Guano, Province of Chimborazo, was considered the integral automation of the process of extrusion of polypropylene in order to reduce the production costs that are currently managed in the plant and improve the energy consumption in the production process. For the development of the process, studies were established in the plant which the variables were recorded and the possible alternatives for improvement were analyzed. We raised efficient alternatives that reduced the consumption of electricity by 24% and reduced by 18% the loss of raw material waste during the extrusion process, through the application of the industrial software was the improvements Raised according to the study carried out. With the implementation of this project the executives of the company will have a tool for control and monitoring in real time of its process and will be all the time communicated with the State and condition of the plant, the system is in the capacity to send Text messages alerting immediately so that the necessary corrective actions can be taken, it can be concluded that the implementation of this project is an important tool for making decisions related to the process Production of the plant and its investment is recovered within a period of not more than six months.
