Diseño y simulación de una máquina para demoler el ducto de vaciado del horno de arco eléctrico de la empresa Acería del Ecuador compañía anónima Adelca

Abstract

The present project was made with the objective of implementing a machine to demolish the drainage duct of the Electric Arc Furnace from “Acería del Ecuador ADELCA” company, to reduce the scheduled time of maintenance in the scrap smelting process, the machine could avoid the exposure to high temperatures of the technicians who perform this task manually as well, improving the quality of work. The design of the machine was started with the study of the smelting process in Arco Electric Furnaces, after that, using the functional analysis method I could obtain solutions for each module and with these solutions I could design the machine that meets the needs of the company, for some elements of the machine, CAD simulations were used, to optimize the design of the parts. It was concluded that with a future implementation of the machine in ADELCA Company, it´s possible to save significant time in maintenance breaks, taking advantage of the increase in daily production of the smelting plant and an improvement in the working environment of the technicians in charge.
