Projeto de uma prensa hidráulica para resíduos de alumínio

Abstract

In this work, the design was developed, and the adopted approaches for sizing the components of a compact hydraulic press for aluminum scrap based on post-consumer packaging were presented, with an average production capacity of 3.6 tons per day. The machine project was conceived to optimize the structure to achieve the best ratio regarding ease of construction, total weight, and aiming for a design with sturdy and lightweight structural elements (main structure of tubes with steel sheet coating). Thus, the compactor was sized according to specifications using analytical calculation methods for the sizing of bolted and welded joints, and numerical methods for complex loadings on the structure. The resulting project was designed with the aid of the 3D Solidworks tool for constructive purposes, analyzing its functionality, interferences, clearances, assembly, adjacent parts, and general aspects to ensure compliance with the requirements.
