Desenvolvimento de uma varredeira mecânica industrial

Abstract

The casting, is an ancient technology that consists in melting the metal and deposit in sand molds, thus obtaining the desired shape. This technique from the beginning was developed to facilitate human survival. As a result, with the temporal advance of humanity it has become indispensable for many essential sectors such as food, medicine, infrastructure, aerospace, among others. Thus, several casting methods were created and developed, being used in a larger scale the sand molding. This method is the most used by raw material (sand) have a low cost because it is abundant and can recycle several times during the process. However, for the industries of the foundry sectors that use this method, I have avoided an adversity to collect and store the sand used in the molds that fall on the factory floor after finishing the process. In view of this, the proposal was a fully mechanical equipment, which is pulled by an industrial tug taking advantage of its internal logistics route of the factory, to collect the waste where it moves. To adopt and choose the components and peripherals of the proposal, a literature review was carried out, aiming at the products and components suitable for the operations that make up the sweeper idea. A numerical simulation was developed for the verification of the chassis structure, obtaining stress values of von misses smaller than the yield limit of the chassis material. Also carried out surveys with suppliers, always aiming at the lower cost of raw materials and other components required for the proposal, resulting in a total value of approximately R$11,000.00, compared to the commercial industrial sweepers used today, there was a difference of approximately R$17,000.00.
