ESTUDO DE FALHA NO FUNCIONAMENTO DE UMA MOEGA DE PESAGEM DE SAL MINERAL EM UMA FÁBRICA DE PRODUÇÃO DE ALIMENTOS ANIMAIS

Abstract

The work carried out is a study of failure in the functioning of a hopper for weighing mineral micronutrients in an animal food factory. Such an approach is necessary due to a failure presented by the equipment in the dosage of micronutrients for feeding animals, causing production disorders due to the high rate of weighing variation. The objective of this work is to study the production process from the arrival of raw material for the manufacture of mineral salt, automation systems used, consultations in manufacturers manuals, monitoring of the production process. Therefore, the work will assist in the equipment failure indicator, remedying this failure for a better production indicator so that there is no loss of materials and no unwanted expenses. All equipment needs preventive maintenance, having to be checked and inspected within the process, to minimize losses and loss of profit. Because every component of any equipment, has a useful life, and eventually comes to an end for not having a critical monitoring of its operation. Failure study in a weighing hopper will be essential! Because every unscheduled shutdown of machinery or equipment results in lost productivity time, causing losses to the sector.
