Diseño conceptual de una batidora semindustrial para la elaboración de alimentos : análisis de parámetros de funcionalidad y diseño de un prototipo de una batidora semindustrial con control computarizado.

Abstract

The integrating project emerge because within the Ecuadorian food industry there are several artisan workshops that produce high value-added foods; however, they do not have the machinery that meets the mixing and cooking requirements for the creation of their products in an artisanal way, in addition, there is no control over the variables that directly influence them. This is how, in this document, a preliminary study is carried out their technical characteristics of functionality and design that are involved in the mixing and cooking process will be analyzed within a previously selected prototype of a semi-industrial mixer. Once the technical specifications were determined, based on a quality house, a design sketch was proposed for a prototype of a 10-liter semi-industrial mixer within the Inventor Autodesk software, which with the help of computerized control was programmed and simulated the operation of the prototype manipulating the changing parameters of cooking temperature, the mixing speed and regulation of times in the STEP7, CADeSIMU and PCSIMU softwares. Also, possible conceptual design solutions, materialization solutions and cost analysis are briefly exposed. Finally, the plans for the possible construction of the prototype were presented.
