Aquisição automatizada e análise de dados de temperatura em uma estufa de convecção forçada na indústria farmoquímica

Abstract

Pharmaceutical ingredient is the main compost in the formulation of medicines. Your drying is necessary to ensure your quality and effectiveness during the storing and commercializing. In that way the objective is understand the drying of a pharmaceutical ingredient in a forced convection oven through of an acquisition of data of temperature all over the process. The data was collected in an automatized way using an opensource system. The acquisition came all over the drying process and the measurement occurred minute by minute. It was used ten sensors distributed equally in two trays. It was collected data from two samples aiming to compare two different drying. The generated graphics demonstrated that one of the trays shows higher temperatures than the other one. When analyzing individually the data from one tray was possible identify it locations shows the higher and the lowest temperatures. When compare the two samples it was noted a difference between the behavior of the both temperatures. The analyze of the data shows that the variations of the behavior elapse of a deficit in the distribution of hot air in the oven. It was suggest some modifications in the process and in the equipment aiming to solve the problem.
