Diseño y construcción de un prototipo de una máquina hiladora para queso de pasta hilada tipo mozzarella: diseño de una máquina hiladora para queso de pasta hilada tipo mozzarella.

Abstract

In Ecuador’s rural sectors, microenterprises dedicated to the production and processing of milk products use artisanal techniques that can be technified. A product widely elaborated in these enterprises is mozzarella cheese. The objective of the present work is to design a machine to make a mozzarella type cheese. For this purpose, available information is used as basis for a conceptual design. Requirements and technical specifications provided by the company ""Industrias WEB"", are considered as well. To design the machine, the complete methodical processes are divided into modules, for which a solution is established. The conceptual design consists of an horizontal spinning mechanism of double axis with worm-type screw that has a control board that varies the speed of operation. Then, a material is used for calculation and dimensioning of the elements of the mechanical components. Finally, this work serves as basis for the construction of the machine, which is detailed by ""Construction of a prototype of a spinning machine for mozzarella type pasta filata cheese"", Ortega S. (2023), which is the continuation of the present work.
