Diseño de una termoformadora para la extrusión de material biodegradable

Abstract

From the development field of the TURING seedbed, the KDA ECOLOGY project was created in order to design a thermoforming machine where mainly work is done with biodegradable materials. The modeling of a thermoforming machine on a 3D scale is proposed through the SolidWorks program, simulating its respective extrusion movement with the aim of industrializing the manufacturing of biodegradable containers such as; dishes. Reason why several investigations were carried out to achieve correct operation in the simulation of the machine; Taking into account plans, designs of thermoformers and a possible demand for the load necessary for its operation, it was chosen and adapted based on the need that existed, considering the characteristics of the raw material, a study population was identified to evaluate the acceptance of the machine and the plate. It is necessary to promote new models and strategies which must be covered by current social and productive demands; development of new products, quality, design, low production costs and modernization, parameters that are essential for a competent product in the market. Consequently, the appropriate conditions and processes are established for the manufacture and design of biodegradable containers, with the intention of generating alternatives that can be sustainable and friendly to the environment, trying to slightly reduce the negative impact that plastics have generated. Therefore, this research will be aimed at designing and carrying out the simulation of a thermoformer of biodegradable containers and from the simulation determine the acceptance and competitiveness that it could have in the market, taking into account factors such as: the reduction of times and the development of new products.
