Projecção de carrinho de transporte de tambor de concentrado: caso da Refrigerantes Spar, 2021

Abstract

The idea of designing the concentrate transport trolley for the company Refrigerante Spar Lda arises due to the need to improve the current conditions the current conditions of transport in terms of safety, flexibility and efficiency in the execution of this activity that is performed by a hydraulic tortoise cart which presents the following inconveniences observed on site: loading and unloading to and from the trolley, respectively, done manually, impossibility of crossing the steps of the rooms which requires the transport to be started and finished by brute human force. For the realisation of this project, design data was collected in the field such such as the type of cargo, its weight, the dimensions of the access doors, the height of the steps of steps, the possibility of placing on pallets for transportation and more which were used in the calculations and decision making. The project was carried out taking into taking into account the availability of materials on the market and the production processes that the company has or has access to. As a resource for the projection the design aid program (CAD) Inventor Professional 2017 was used in the CAD) Inventor Professional 2017 in the student version was used to design and calculate (using the finite element method), having its results transformed into images illustrating the test results of the model of the model.
