Diseño y construcción de una máquina despulpadora de frutas con una capacidad de 500 kg/h para la empresa Productos Suiza Dajed CIA. LTDA. de la ciudad de Ambato

Abstract

The present technical project is based on the mechanical design and construction of a fruit pulping machine under the parameters established as production processes, capacity, cutting force, thickness of the seeds, fruit density and ergonomics. The pulping machine has a hopper designed to withstand the pressure of the higher density fruit and the weight of the boxes at the time of depositing the fruit inside. The machine has a cutting system designed to cut passion fruit; This fruit needs greater cutting force at the time of pulping. The pulper has a set of sieves designed for each thickness of the seeds. In the performance tests, the capacity of 500 kilograms per hour was verified, fulfilling the capacity of the machine, the elements of the machine are constructed in austenitic stainless steel AISI 304.
