Projeto de um sistema de envase e selagem de bisnagas de alumínio

Abstract

A Brazilian industry focused on the production of tires for off-road competitions brought to Brazil the “Mousse” technology, an expanding rubber intended to replace the air chamber. This product will provide the driver with greater comfort, safety and performance in competitions, in addition to ensuring that the tire does not deflate due to possible damage. To facilitate the assembly of the “Mousse”, a gel is necessary, which in addition to lubricating, has the purpose of increasing its useful life. The problem faced by the industry is the packaging of this lubricant in aluminum tubes, where the cost of supplying the finished product is high, since the manufacturing of the gel and the packaging are carried out through different suppliers. The objective of this work is to present the project of a machine whose purpose is to fill and seal aluminum tubes, with a view to reducing outsourcing costs, in addition to agility in the filling process. To this end, a study was carried out to evaluate machine development systems. After this, with outlined stages of planning, concept, final design and detailing, a semi-automatic system capable of filling and sealing aluminum tubes, easy to handle and low cost, is established. The result of this study is to present the preparation of the project, covering all stages for its full functioning and operation, in addition to the financial viability for its construction in general.
