Diseño e implementación de un sistema para la eliminación de residuos orgánicos en el proceso de descarnado en la Empresa SERVICUEROS S.A. ubicada en el cantón Salcedo, provincia de Cotopaxi

Abstract

This technical research is focused on the design and implementation of a system for the elimination of organic waste in the fleshing process, and it was developed in the company Servicueros S.A. During the initial stage, the application area was analyzed, where the workers were not able to move around the area, in addition to the accumulation of waste there. A study was carried out to select the most appropriate transport model that could be applied in the chutes through which the waste produced by the fleshing machine would be transported, choosing the worm screw, which would drive it to an outside area; in addition the appropriate motor with the necessary speed for its transport was selected. The measurements that the screw would have for the application were taken. Using the SolidWorks software, it was designed with the previously taken measurements, and its construction began. Once the screw was built, it was implemented in the fleshing area of the company, taking into consideration the safety standards that it should have and providing a manual application manual for the operators, and in case of any failure, it could be solved without any problem. In conclusion, the system was installed obtaining satisfied results after its star up, the control panel worked adequately and in the very same way the starter motor fulfilled its considerations that it should be a 3HP gear motor and output of 210 RPM, the same that after the application of sprockets with chain its speed was lowered to 70 RPM. It is recommended to apply the operation manual and at the same time, to carry out the maintenance plan of the machine with which its useful life time will be longer.
