Projeto de automação do sistema de prensamento hidráulico utilizado na compactação de pelagem suína

Abstract

With an increasingly demanding market, consumers looking for better products, the need for more food, modified ways of being constantly increasing production, maintaining an increasingly high standard in their products. Swine slaughter is one of the most influential markets in the Brazilian economy, and the constant growth in demand for this product is visible, consequently generating an enormous surplus of by­products such as blood, bones, viscera and hair. Pig hair is used to produce flour for animal feed, and as it is a highly profitable product, greater efficiency in its production is of extreme interest. Due to the increase in pig production, the equipment was automated, thus eliminating the previously used manual operation. As discussed with the company, we hosted the equipment, updates were made to the electrical, safety and drive systems, making diagram documentation available for the record.
