Diseño de un prototipo de máquina peletizadora del mezquite dulce para la alimentación del ganado vacuno y porcino

The present work consisted in designing a pelletizing machine for the production of animal feed from sweet mesquite. designof responded to request clients, consisting small with productivity 640 kg day⁻¹in 8 hoursof work. During design, corresponding resistance calculations, sizing and selection appropriate materials forthe structure other systems that make up were made, such as: transmission system, shaft, conditioningand systems.The receives pre-elaborated crushed mixture, which is processed through distribution, compression, cutting,unloading packaging systems. granulation system begins entry food into hopper, beingsubsequently distributed vanes towards rollers compression traveling face die. Therollers apply force forces pass holes. Once has been extruded, pellets are cutby blades stored at bottom machine, where container placed. average size pellet be produced by theproposed design is: 10.55 mm length diameter 4.13 mm.
