Diseño y construcción de una cabina de lijado para el área de pintura de la empresa Ciudad del Auto CIAUTO Cía. Ltda. de la ciudad de Ambato

Abstract

This technical project arises from the need to solve the problem of production flow in the painting area of the company Ciudad del Auto Ciauto Cia Ltda. Due to the expansion in equipment and space, dead times have been generated in the sanding area and it is not possible to meet the quota of daily units that must go through this process. Because of this, it is intended to implement an additional sanding booth in the area that responds to the available space and the direction of the production flow. Initially, the production flow and the space in the painting area were analyzed to assign the area where the sanding booth will be built. Once the area was designated, through an investigation of the operation of a sanding booth, its structure was designed with the corresponding dimensions. Materials and methods of air injection and extraction were selected to take advantage of the space and equipment already installed in the plant. Once the design was approved, the cabin was built in compliance with the parameters established in the design and adapting part of the existing infrastructure. The implementation of the sanding booth represented a considerable improvement in the production flow of the area since the production quota in the sanding area was covered and exceeded. The space where the cabin was built was used to contribute to production by providing tools for the workers in the area.
