RETROFITTING EQUIPAMENTO USADO FINAL LINHA EXTRUSÃO: puxador tubo

Abstract

Mechanical engineering in general is composed of several segments, and it is of interest from the point of view of technology that it always develops new methods and processes that replace the existing ones thus making it more modern and profitable. But what comes to indicate in this work is that there are countless cases in which modernity and innovation are based on the already existing and starting from there is the initial in which the old can also become modern within market practices, always taking into account mechanical and functional aspects of the equipment. The case study seen in this work was done with a machine called "Tube Puller" used in an extrusion line for tubes and plastic materials in which the material is pulled and directed to the winder, this equipment has been studied in all its aspects of economic feasibility of restructuring or purchasing new equipment, thus checking mechanical changes and associating this new technology.
