Diseño de una planta de beneficio porcino para el municipio de Charalá Santander

Abstract

The project for the design of a swine processing plant for the municipality of Charalá, Santander, responds to the need to mitigate the deficit in adequate infrastructure for the slaughter of pigs in the region, affected by the closure of plants due to non-compliance with regulations. This proposal, which follows the regulations, Decree 1500 of 2007, (Administrative Department of Public Function, 2007), and Resolution 0240 of 2013, (Ministry of Health and Social Protection, 2013), seeks to guarantee the safety of the production process and the traceability of the product, improving the quality and food safety in the municipality and its surroundings. The methodology used is based on the analysis of international and national typological references, evaluating both local demand and supply, and applying a modular approach that allows for an efficient and scalable operation. The plant's design covers everything from pig reception to final carcass storage, with a unidirectional workflow that prevents cross-contamination and complies with sanitation standards. This project will not only improve local infrastructure but will also contribute to the region's economic development by reducing the logistical costs associated with pork marketing.
