    Diseño y construcción de una máquina dosificadora, mezcladora y peletizadora de alimentos balanceados de truchas para la parroquia Pasa de la provincia de Tungurahua
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica, 2023-09) Flores Pico, Alex Medardo; Zuñiga Tirado, Jonathan Alexander; López Velástegui, Jorge Enrique
    The project is oriented to the development of a machine for the production and supply of balanced trout feed for the fish farmers of the Pasa parish in the province of Tungurahua, due to the fact that in the area there is a large production of this species and little commercialization of this feed, in addition to having a high price. For the execution of the project, we started with the collection of bibliographic information that allowed us to analyze the principle of operation of the various systems that make up the machine, to later establish the design parameters such as pressure, temperature, viscosity, humidity, and the forces acting on the prototype. In addition, simulations were performed in specialized analysis programs considering the factors established in the design to later select the types of materials and systems established by various standards related to the subject. Finally, the prototype was built, and functional tests were carried out with the raw material. The pellets were manufactured by programming the prototype at a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius in the compression chamber, a screw rotation speed of 100 rpm, a viscosity of the mixture of 596.3 pascal second and in the course of one hour 48 kg of balanced feed were produced. Once the pellet has been produced, buoyancy tests and the acceptance of the product by the trout are carried out.
