Desenvolvimento de um sistema de detecção de líquido residual de soda cáustica e tubos de enchimento em uma cervejaria

Abstract

This study aims to develop a caustic residue detection system and filling tubes in a brewery in the city. Equipment used was purchased by the company for installation and assembly of these systems, one we used the ladder programming language for developing the program. In addition to using the program were made in two sets of sensors for detection and a control unit that uses an LED fault indicator and a reset button to clear the fault after inspection and removal of the bottles with the indicated problems. This work was developed in order to ensure a finer inspection of beer bottles before your potting because the process involves internal and external washing of the bottle with a caustic solution heated to 80 degrees. After this wash the bottles pass through an electronic inspector that is subject to not reject the bottles with residual liquid when is defective. The results of the implementation of the work provided a final inspection before contact of the bottles with the beer, increasing the reliability of the product in relation to the high quality demanded by the company.
