Diseño y construcción de una máquina lavadora de naranjilla de 55 kg de capacidad para la asociación de naranjilla y frutales amazónicos Murialdo

Abstract

In the present technological proposal, the design and construction of a naranjilla washing machine was carried out for the farmer sector, which aims to remove soil, insects and other foreign elements, in an efficient and safe way, the machine has the ability to clean 55 Kg / h. In the bibliographic study carried out on the cleaning of the naranjilla, it was found that it was done manually in the company Murialdo of the province of Pastaza, due to this, an investigation of the morphology of the naranjilla was carried out in order to implement a type of mechanical cleaning . For an optimal mechanical design, the design methodology was taken: analysis, synthesis, simulation, evaluation and decision. The best alternative for its construction was selected. The mechanical and electrical elements of the machine were designed with basic engineering principles, and then validated with simulation software such as Solidworks. Tests were carried out on the surface quality of the naranjilla, verifying that no morphological change occurs in its physical properties, the machine's performance is more than 55kgs / h depending on the size of the Naranjilla, it is built in stainless steel complying with the norm for the processing of food, being the quality naranjilla and optimal for commercialization and consumption.
