    Diseño y construcción de una máquina peletizadora que utilice residuos de madera para la empresa Decor Parquét en la ciudad de Ambato
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica, 2022-09) Ponce Ramos, Bryan Alexis; Viteri Caiza, Jorge Esteban; López Villacís, Gonzalo Eduardo
    This technical project was developed due to the need to use the waste generated in the construction of wooden furniture made by the company DECOR PARQUÉT to take advantage of the leftover wood that is produced daily. This technical project aims to design and build a pelletizing machine that compacts wood waste into small cylinders known as pellets. In the theoretical foundation, the description, advantages, disadvantages, types, thermal properties, physical properties, mechanical properties and the technical standard UNE - ISO 17225-2: 2021 used to produce wood pellets were analyzed. It also describes the purpose of the equipment, the systems that compose it, its parts, the types of pelletizers, the failures they present and the materials necessary for the construction of the machine. As for the analytical part, the sizing of all the parts, simulations of the critical components of the system and the selection of the materials based on the calculations were determined. Finally, the machine was built using the design represented in the drawings with the necessary corrections to make the model functional, and the respective functional tests were performed.
