Diseño de una máquina despulpadora de sacha inchi con una capacidad de 400 kg/h

Abstract

The aim of this project is to design a sacha inchi pulping machine with a capacity of 400 kg/h. For the pulping process to be carried out, it is necessary to design two machines, one that decapsules and another that peels the seed. The project covered, through the concurrent design method, the characteristics desired by the client with which five design alternatives were proposed, which were qualified with different criteria, to finally obtain the design and selection of the necessary parts so that the two designed machines, which have the operating principle of the Engelberg type dehuller, which consists of a rotating vane system and a static cylinder. The capacity of 400 kg/h and 4 hours of daily work of the machine, is suitable for use in small industry; This capacity was selected due to the number of crops that exist in Sacha Inchi in the Amazon region. To separate the already processed seed from the waste of the same, it is necessary a system of extraction of waste that works by means of the suction of the same, and that consists of a fan of extracting of particulated air of 1hp, a duct and a bell of extraction.
