Diseño e Implementación de Sistema Vibrador Neumático para Tolva de Balanceado

Abstract

This report details the system designed to solve a persistent problem for bagging balanced in a food company. The product was compacted in the bottom of the hopper and its characteristics don't allow the continuous flow discharge which caused delays in the bagging and later dispatch. This problem represented consequently economic losses for the company. Given this situation , a totally pneumatic vibration system is designed , which hits by time intervals while performing the hopper discharge avoiding that product is compacted. A pneumatic system was chosen because there already were lines of air available in that area of the plant. This vibrator system consists of a pneumatic actuator rocks its rod and then it hits the hopper at a time interval of 10 seconds and stops for 10 seconds to avoid unnecessary noise, these times were determined experimentally once installed all elements. System's implementation was the solution for the surged problem, because the download started to be continuously and the process was optimized achieving the goal: maximize production.
