Automação e controle de máquina extratora de óleos vegetais

Abstract

This work was developed with the purpose of resolving the problems of machine operation extractor of vegetable oil PS-200, designed by the company SILOFÉRTIL. The implemented system will replace the machine operator's decisions and manage the vital information to the process monitoring and standardization of product and process. The previous system relies on manual operating where the operator was liable for all actions of the machine. This way of operation was generating several stops in the process, disuniform products, defects in the equipment and a yield lower than normal, causing a lot of costs and losses throughout the production process. On this project we present a solution to these problems by means of an automation system control and operation of the machine, which control decisions, standardizing the production processes, making the machine more efficiently by increasing and standardizing the quality of the product, reducing the stopping time, reducing cost and maximizing profits. Through researches and analysis were established patterns to the development of this project, as well as equipment and methodologies.
