Abstract

At present, there is a tendency to minimize manual handling through mechanization. The “continuous process” and automation” In order to achieve a more active productivity taking into account the occupational risks in the food processing processes, most work accidents due to the form or contact in which the injury occurred are due to overefforts of the skeletal muscle system, shock against stationary or moving object, and cuts by objects or he

The bottling industry is growing and expanding, a problem in a microenterprise is the poor filling of the bottles, thus creating the need for a quality control that can improve the final product due to the high demand for bottling. This causes large, medium and small businesses to use their facilities for various products, so the use of plastic bottle media minimizes the business market and bases the use of biodegradable bottles

Limits

• The limitation to working the project from home

• The sale of some materials in El salvador is scaza, having to buy online.

• The cost of materials exceeds $1000

• The uncertainty of not testing simulations in physics

Scopes

• To deepen further the knowledge gained in THE ELECTRICAL CONTROL modules OF THE HYDRAULIC AND PNEUMATIC SYSTEMS, PROGRAMMING OF INTELLIGENT RELAYS and GENERAL MECHANICS, thus having a greater projection to future projects

• Know how to interpret a 3D design with the different computer drawing programs, (Sketchup, AutoCAD)

• Apply a good use of the scientific method of research, thus based on empirical and scientific knowledge.

• Expand creativity and innovation based on an existing machine to occupy the same technological principles, but improve it to what is known with the knowledge of first and second year of high school

• Organize better logistics in the planning and management of the operations necessary for the creation of an automatic prototype.

• Planning and managing the flow of materials in the most effective way,

• including the creation and implementation of control and improvement systems.

Vertical filling and sealing packing machines have been used throughout the food industry for over fifty years to pack a large quantity of products quickly and easily.

Changing consumer demands has been a key factor in driving developments in this category, which led to the creation of new equipment designs and innovative solutions that are rapidly changing the food manufacturing industry.

However, the demand forces retailers to compete to offer a wide variety of more attractive products and prices, resulting in a more specific demand for quality and quantity toward manufacturers and processing industries. In some countries, the food processing and conservation industry accounts for up to 15% of all manufacturing industries.

In short, as with any product development, the design of the bottling machine is driven by consumer demand. As people become more aware of health and develop an impulse toward comfort, giving way to new designs that fit better.

The Electropneumatic Filling Machine is designed to carry out the following phases being its operation at the time of operation

• Selection

The bottles will be left at the start of a conveyor belt, so that they can be moved, while they travel the belt first they will find a barrier which will be operated by means of a single-acting piston, which will open when a micro switch has counted the respective quantity of bottles, for the purpose of separating them into groups , when this counts their respective quantity, will close a second barrier, leaving only one group within them, then the pr

• Filling

When the set group of bottles reaches the second stage, the filling phase, using the conveyor belt, will find that the part of the collar is placed in the middle of a guide, so that this guide is the guide that lifts the bottles; the bottles will not follow their path thanks to a third barrier, which aims to keep the bottles out of the way until the filling phase is completed. and to position them perfectly so that when the piston raises the bottles, by means of the guide which will lift the collar, it is the strongest and strongest part of the bottle, this is why filling valves will be used. which, when pressurized, the spring is compressed, opening the valve and allowing water to pass through, which will arrive by means of a pump which will send the purified water from the tank, the pump will run for a set time with a timer, and when this time ends the piston will lower the bottles causing the valves to close, and water that does not pass for the reason that the bottle is already full, will be sent by means of a return hose to the water tank, after the bottles have already been lowered, the third barrier will open allowing the next phase.

• sealed

For sealing, the group of bottles will pass through the conveyor belt to an area which, like the previous phase, the collar will be placed on top of a guide, then the plug will be placed mechanically. by leaving the spring in a 45° position which will not fall by a barrier that will be spring loaded so that the spring is only allowed to drag by the nozzle, which will touch the cap by wearing it and through guides and will leave it positioned as perfectly as possible, then you will pass to an area where a barrier will be obstructing the passage, and when this bottle arrives and touches a micro switch another barrier will close. so that the bottle with the cap placed on its nozzle is individually, so that a piston is sealed by means of pressure, and thanks to the guides that support the bottle collar, this pressure will not be ruined by the pressure, after the piston operates and seals the cylinder, the barrier will open allowing the cylinder to pass, then it will close and open the other barrier allowing another cylinder to pass for sealing.

The water storage tank, in addition to having the pump for the water to be transported, will also have 2 float switches, which will be used to measure the water level, and when the water level drops to the minimum and the switch is released, it will send a signal to stop all processes.
