Item Repotenciación del sistema de empaquetado de la máquina empacadora de botellas para el laboratorio de automatización y control de la FICM-UTA(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica, 2024-02) Guayanay Velez, Jordy Kevin; Carrillo Rosero, Carlos MauricioThe repowering of the packaging system of the bottle packing machine was carried out for several reasons, such as the presence of rust in the metal structures, lack of process optimization and oversizing of mechanical elements, resulting in a malfunction of the machine. The technical project began with the inspection of the current state of the machine, of the mechanical, pneumatic and electrical systems, determining by visual, manual and bibliographic inspection, the state of each component and by means of operation tests, the aspects to improve with the repowering were found, improving the operation of the process and reducing times, implementing more adequate, feasible and current mechanical elements to the technology that allowed improving its performance to a great extent and adding versatility to the process. A new semi-automatic control system was programmed based on the programming of logic controllers, together with its electric board, and diagrams of the required electrical connection of control and power were elaborated. New elements necessary for the correct execution of the new mechanical elements were also designed and adapted, greatly improving the functionality of the machine. The optimal configuration parameters used in the comparative production tests of the repowered machine and the original one were determined, a reduction of seven seconds in the time required for the process was evidenced, and the machine was adapted to work at different speeds with a greater number of units per package.
