Elaboração de um sistema de lubrificação para uma linha de envase de tubos de aerossol

Abstract

The present work has as its theme the development of a lubrication plan for an automated aerosol can filling line. Within the current reality of industries, the improvement of equipment maintenance and conservation procedures has become fundamental for competitiveness in the market. During the research, it was sought to elaborate a lubrication procedure involving all the components present in the filling and packaging line, determining their respective lubricants, work tools, and periodicities. The study's main objective is to insert the practice of lubrication into the routine of preventive maintenance of this equipment, presenting the activity in detail to the responsible technicians as well as creating a schedule of periodic lubrications. From the analysis of corrective maintenance on the studied equipment, before and after the application of the plan, it was possible to notice the reduction in the number of minutes stopped due to equipment failures caused by the lack of lubrication or incorrect lubrication, representing a direct positive impact of the plan's application. Finally, through the development of the work, it was possible to apply the knowledge acquired during the Mechanical Engineering course and to verify the importance of the correct application of preventive maintenance tools, especially when applied to high-performance and high-production capacity equipment.
