Diseño de la planta procesadora de productos lácteos para la Cooperativa de producción agropecuaria “Nuevo Timbre”, Esmeraldas.

Abstract

The objective of this titling work is to design the dairy products processing plant for the Cooperativa de Produccion Agropecuaria (Agricultural Production Cooperative), "Nuevo Timbre", Esmeraldas. A market study was carried out determining that dairy products, such as manabi cheese flowed in banana leaf, yogurt and butter have the acceptance and space available in the market, as well as the availability of raw material, with a value of 122,084 liters in Esmeraldas province, 1,700 liters in the Cooperative, and a per capita consumption deficit dairy products of 2.38 liters / year. The engineering design was applied which led to a conceptual design, the process diagram for the elaboration of proposed dairy products; basic design in which the raw milk reception tank, storage tank, kettle (cheese maker), pasteurizer (yogurt maker) were dimensioned, in addition, the complementary equipment was selected, so that, the production lines work properly with a production of 1143 manabi cheeses in banana leaf of one pound, yogurt 1000 units of liter and 500 units of butter of 0.45kg, vital information, to generate the detailed design that establishes the total surface of 648m2 (36m length, 18m width and 8m height). The total investment comes to $ 146698; an own contribution of $ 100,000 for the partners and a financing of $ 50,000. The Processing Plant of dairy products from an economicindustrial point of view brings all the qualities to fully develop, Under the criterion of civil works, equipment availability, economic benefit, minimum environmental impact and favorable impacts in productive, economic and social sectors, which guarantees that the project is feasible. It is recommended the generation of a pipe system to industrialize the production.
