Implementation of an Automatic System to Make Paraffin Rings

The project presents the design, construction and implementation of an automatic machine for the manufacture of paraffin rings used in the textile industry. The machine consists of eight molds of 34.4 cm3 capacity, installed on a rotating disk that will allow at the same time both the start of a new ring and the extraction of the finished ring. Through the methodology of mecha tronic design based on the V model, the requirements that the system must meet at the end of the work in its mechanical, electrical and control design are determined, which are jointly developed in such a way that they are integrated synchronously, without the operation of one compromises or disturbs the functioning of the other. The mechanical design and its simulation are carried out in a CAD program, which allows to check the operation of each one of the components. After verification and integration of all the components designed or selected, various tests or functional tests are carried out that validate compliance with the requirements established for the finished system. Tests such as: dosing, liquid paraffin filling time per mold, time of transfer from one position to the next, solidification time of the paraffin ring, extraction time of the ring from its respective m old and total time of one cycle of the process, that is, obtaining eight paraffin rings. The machine will be used in Textile Industries, since the paraffin that is of essential use, contributes to improve the operability of the processes of winding of the thread, as well as its quality.
