Diseño de una dosificadora de jabones de glicerina con capacidad de setenta y dos unidades por minuto

Abstract

It comprehends the design of a glycerin soaps dosage machine that automates the process in its production line, satisfying the requirement of obtaining a product filling with capacity of 72 units per minute, and volumetric precision of (60 a 120) [cm3]. It exposes an overview of the types of dosing systems, a product analysis as working fluid and manufacturing parameters, it analyzes the machine specification paper, design parameters, the alternatives study and their definition for the design as well as the testing protocol. The conceptualization of the machine is based on customer requirements, focusing on maximizing the investment so it can be used for other products. Glycerin management demonstrates the necessity of including heating elements in order to keep it at an optimum product temperature of 80 [°C] during the dosing process, in order to reach this, computer simulations are performed to compare alternatives on the use of electrical resistors and the supporting structure, both of them are critical design points. The economic analysis shows that the dosing block and the pneumatic elements cover most of the capital investment. Finally technical drawings and process papers are developed, focusing on using materials easily found on the local market.
