Diseño de una Máquina Automática para la extracción de manteca procedente del grano de Cacao.

Abstract

In the diffrent micro-enterprises in Colombia dedicated to the pro cess of handling co coa, the obligation has b een required to carry out a much cheap er mechanism that allows obtaining the butter from the co coa b ean and, in turn, that meets the demands of the companies and with the b est quality standards. The main ob jective of the machine explained in this pro ject is to obtain the butter from the co coa b ean that is pro cessed in the diffrent microenterprises in Colombia, favoring the generation of new sources of income since it is a highly commercialized derivative of co coa. This machine has a fully automated system that sp eeds up the entire process and, in turn, an optimal mechanism to obtain the greatest amount of butter from the co coa b ean, since this is the raw material. This machine has an advanced control system that allows the op erator to have information ab out the pro cess for any anomaly and thus have the b est p erformance when carrying out the pro cess of extracting the butter from the co coa b ean. The pro ject examines a study of the diffrent pro cesses for the extraction of co coa butter, which will b e analyzed for p ossible improvements and take the b est pro cess for the design of this automated machine, then the design of the machine will b e divided into essential parts. with the aim of explaining each pro cess and that it meets the demands of the users since they will b e used when designing the machine. Obtaining the needs and recommendations of the users, the imp ortant values to b e taken are determined, s uch as the typ e of material and the dimensions necessary for its correct op eration, taking this into account the creation of the machine where the plans for its construction will b e taken, Finally, the fial design will b e rendered to have a realistic idea of the co coa butter extractor machine.
