    The Association of Senior Citizens of San Antonio de Quisapincha, in the province of Tungurahua, requires a packaging method for handmade liquid soap. In collaboration with the Linking Unit of the Technical University of Ambato, the idea was to design and build a semiautomatic soap dispenser with a 250-ml presentation to reduce manufacturing costs. The study was based on bibliographic sources and field studies, demonstrating the feasibility of implementing the equipment. Safe materials were used for contact with the soap, especially AISI 304 stainless steel for its durability and resistance to corrosion. An efficient packaging method suitable for the association's production capacity was selected to ensure its economic viability, and a pneumatic system was used to facilitate its use. Calculations, designs, and machining processes were carried out, and plans and computer simulations were generated. Ergonomic and production time studies were also carried out to determine the bottle filling capacity. The proposed semi-automatic dosing machine offers an effective and safe solution for the packaging of handmade liquid soap; the use of a double-acting pneumatic cylinder allows precise dosing of 50 ml per drive. The materials used and the design of the equipment guarantee its long-term durability and efficiency. This project contributes to the welfare of the association and has the potential to be applied in other similar contexts if required.
