In the dairy processing industry, the efficiency and quality of production lines are key factors for achieving high production standards. One of the most common challenges in cheese factories is the damage of cheese pieces during transport through pumps, which negatively affects the quality and yield of the final product. This paper presents the design and creation of a raised metal platform, which uses gravity to eliminate the need for pumping and reduce physical damage to the curd mass. The platform is designed in the CAD environment (SolidWorks) and is built from 316 stainless steel to guarantee hygiene and resistance to industrial conditions. In addition, the paper also addresses the design and production of anti-slip sheets to increase safety in the workplace, using customized tools for forming press brakes. The results of the structural analysis and practical implementation show significant improvements in efficiency, safety and production quality.

摘要

In the dairy processing industry, the efficiency and quality of production lines are key factors for achieving high production standards. One of the most common challenges in cheese factories is the damage of cheese pieces during transport through pumps, which negatively affects the quality and yield of the final product. This paper presents the design and creation of a raised metal platform, which uses gravity to eliminate the need for pumping and reduce physical damage to the curd mass. The platform is designed in the CAD environment (SolidWorks) and is built from 316 stainless steel to guarantee hygiene and resistance to industrial conditions. In addition, the paper also addresses the design and production of anti-slip sheets to increase safety in the workplace, using customized tools for forming press brakes. The results of the structural analysis and practical implementation show significant improvements in efficiency, safety and production quality.
