Abstract

In this degree project, the design installation of a semi-automatic system for them packaging of liquid and vicious products was carried out, which satisfactorily benefited the company Tesquimsa, especially the operators who perform manually. The construction of the packaging equipment facilitated the work and the planned production, obtaining a better packaging time and improving the ergonomics of the operator in his working day. The main objective of the construction of the equipment for the packaging of liquid products is to reduce the time and maintain the production line when packaging the machine is controlled by a WECON HMI screen controlled by a PLC s7 1200 configured and simulated with Cade Simun and Tia Portal software, the screen interface is user friendly to start up the packaging machine. The results of the installation have been satisfactory since the first operational test were carried out with finished products. The construction of the semi-automatic system not only improves the planned production, but also helps to take care of the operator’s ergonomics, avoiding injuries during manual packaging. Stainless steel 304 was used for the construction of the liquid product machine due to its high durability, which guarantees hygienic conditions and also facilitates cleaning.
