Diseño y construcción de un molino de bolas de alta energía con sistema de refrigeración para aplicación de pulvimetalurgia para el Laboratorio de Materiales de la Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica

Abstract

This technical project was carried out due to the importance of implementing a high-energy ball mill for powder metallurgy application and in turn obtaining metal powders for the materials laboratory of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Technical University of Ambato. The project is directed at the design, construction, and operation tests, which are made up of a biphasic motor, eccentric, axles, gear wheels, tensioners, structural system components, for which the theoretical and practical part was investigated, with a grinding mechanism composed of a grinding base box, box lid, grinding tray and demolition elements, defining its support, where the axes have the function of generating movement through the gear wheels and the synchronous belt; where the size, weight and noise of the mill are very important parameters to design as well as the maximum volume of material to be ground; Thus defined its purpose of construction obtaining particle sizes of 0.30 to 4.72 mm, in a time that varies from 0 to 120 minutes. Finally, the machine was built with materials available on the market at affordable prices in case any change or maintenance is required.
