RETROFITTING EM MÁQUINA ALIMENTÍCIA: máquina de macarrão instantâneo Lámen

Abstract

In engineering, the constant development of accessible and effective production methods is essential, always following technical safety standards, in addition to accompanying technological development that tends to obtain greater profit at less cost. This work aims to show that the concern with sustainability and the scarcity of raw material leads companies to rethink to optimize their old equipment, taking advantage of its old, yet robust structure, and adapt it to the automation technologies combined with a new concept. mechanical, lighter and also efficient. The research also proves that the old and the new can be consolidated in redesigns that will satisfy the need of a company, after a study through analysis and calculations, without interfering in the environment. The case study seen in this work was done with a machine called "Instant Noodle Machine", being a new equipment, but with design errors, which caused changes to correct them and new ideas that would increase your productivity and decrease your stops undesirable breaks.
