Diseño, Automatización y Simulación de una línea para Fabricación de pinturas

Abstract

The project involves the design of a line for production of water-based paint for PRODUTEKN company whose goal is to produce 2000 gallons / day. Components and types of paints that exist and are distributed in the local market as well as manufacturers and demand for paintings by type in Ecuador are highlighted, without neglecting the standard paint production lines and the current situation of the applicant company . Approach and selecting the alternatives based upon the QFD method (design quality) is then performed. Then it proceeds with the theoretical design of each of the systems that make up the paint manufacturing plant. Finally simulations are made using finite element dedicated software such as SolidWorks and Inventor Simulation to corroborate the theoretical designs, FluidSIM for automation and simulation of pneumatic components and control and IN TOUCH for simulating paint manufacturing process, considers the proposed design future expansion in production, allowing increase is by 50% more than the initial target of 2000 gallons / day. The entire project is reflected by the planes generated from the design and finite element simulation.
