Diseño de un Sistema Automatizado para el Llenado y Tapado de Botellas en Una Fábrica de Cerveza Artesanal

Abstract

This project addresses the challenge in a craft brewery related to the manual filling and capping of bottles, seeking to improve the quality of the packaging process. The purpose is to design an automated system that facilitates these tasks, increasing productivity and reducing errors. The main contribution lies in the implementation of an integral design that covers from the entry of empty bottles to the exit of filled and capped bottles. The design criteria focus on reliability and system speed. The proposed methodology involves a step-by-step approach to address the design and simulation of the automated bottle filling and capping system in a craft brewery. Simulation results show that the implementation of an integrated system significantly improves operational efficiency, reducing cycle times and reducing errors associated with manual filling and capping. The automated system offers potential applications in various bottled beverage industries, providing an efficient and versatile solution to optimize similar processes. In conclusion, this project presents a solution using Mechatronic Engineering by successfully addressing the specific packaging problem in the craft brewing industry. The implementation of the automated system not only improves accuracy, but also reduces operating costs and minimizes the risk of contamination. These results highlight the feasibility and relevance of automation in improving industrial processes, especially in the craft beer sector.
