Implementação de um plano de manutenção de uma máquina descascadora de rolos para beneficiamento do arroz: um estudo de caso

Abstract

The industrial sector is constantly evolving, being extremely competitive, focusing on mainly in the quality of the final product and in the optimization of production processes. The production had a big growth over time, being proportional to the mechanization and evolution of the machinery, in addition to the automation of processes, being that, currently, the machines are responsible for the immense majority of the productive capacity. In parallel to this, maintenance has evolved in order to accompany the improvement of processes, being of great importance for production, because, if maintenance is not carried out properly, it can cause machinery breakdown, leading to production stops, causing huge losses to companies. In this way, the importance of a well-defined maintenance plan is emphasized, which is applied correctly, optimizing the operation of the machines, in order to maintain the proper functioning and maximum production capacity. The purpose of the present academic work is the application of a methodology focused on maintenance management, in which a preventive maintenance plan will be developed for a machine called Rubber Roll Peeler, aiming at reducing equipment failures, reducing downtime, improves the quality of rice production, as well as greater safety and, consequently, a reduction in accidents.
