System design and simulation for a recycled plastic injector

2023-03-17T16:47:49-05:00

The purpose was to develop and design an automated plastic injection machine using FluidSIM, CADe SIMU and SketchUp tools. Likewise, the main elements that make up the mechanism were found and we verified results by comparing performance and productivity. The design was made to specifications using SketchUp software. With this, the pneumatic injection system was controlled and the circuit was designed in the FluidSIM software, in order to simulate and validate it. In addition, for the purpose of designing the electrical circuit of the motor and sensors, the CADe SIMU software was used. Data obtained from the collection and weighing of plastic carried out by the District Municipality of Víctor Larco Herrera in said district was also used, which led us to obtain an improvement compared to a manual machine. This was evidenced in the performance and productivity, which would go from being 75% and 28 bottles per minute to being 97% and 37 bottles per minute. Applying this automation is completely justified, since in addition to increasing performance and productivity by reducing the downtime in which operators rested or had breaks, it will also mitigate their fatigue at work, without negatively affecting production.
