Implementación de una ordeñadora móvil de dos puestos para pequeños productores en la parroquia San Juan de la provincia de Chimborazo.

Abstract

A two-position mobile milking machine for small producers was implemented in the San Juan parish of the province of Chimborazo, in order to reduce the time of milk collection. The information required for this research was obtained through a bibliographical and field study, which consisted of visiting directly the milk producers in the San Juan parish where the need for the implementation of a machine of this type could be observed. As a result, a structure was designed in the Solid Works Software that accommodates all the parts and mechanisms of the machine to be implemented based on the needs of the sector. The adequate vacuum generation parameters were established, finding that it is necessary to implement a 500-mm bulge liters with a motor of 7.0 HP in the machine to perform a proper milking and maintain the health of the udder in the animal, it was implemented, a mechanism of transmission of adequate power that allows the operation of the vacuum pump, the system of milk conduction was installed that allows the necessary hygiene in the product to allow a wide commercialization and the productivity in the performance of the ordering machine was evaluated. Once the tests were carried out, it was found that with the implementation of the machine the milking time was reduced by 52.79 percent, the distances traveled by 66.67 percent, thus presenting an optimal performance of the system, providing a product with more hygiene that provides better characteristics so that the productivity of the milking process is increased. It is recommended to carefully read the handling procedures established prior to the use of the milking equipment, taking into account the parameters to prolong the useful life of the equipment, which is a function of it, ranging between 3000 and 3500 hours of operation.
