Rediseño e implementación de la máquina expendedora inversa (RVM) automatizada, orientada al reciclaje de botellas plásticas PET para la Facultad de Mecánica.

Abstract

The present draft degree has the main function the “Redesign, calculus, construction and implementation of the Automated Reverse Vending Machine (RVM), Oriented to the recycling of plastic bottles PET for the Faculty of Mechanical – ESPOCH”, the goal is to recycle plastic bottles PET up to 500 ml consumed by students. Compacted plastic bottles will be the main basis for the development of other types of products through different manufacturing processes for each application, it is a fundamental contribution to change the productive matrix of the environmental sector with this type of machine. This machine is designed to provide to the polytechnic community a quick and easy way to recycle the bottles, so that automation becomes imperative to satisfy this need. The machine was gradually developed in its construction and initial testing operation, specifically in the mechanical compaction system for analyzing the compressive force. According to the results of the polls conducted in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, the machine will deliver a sweet that is received by students, creating an incentive to ensure recycling. The conditions of functionality and maintainability correct for this fully automated machine down in this monograph titling project.
