Projeto preliminar de um transportador helicoidal para ração de peixes

Abstract

Analyzing the national scenario of fish farming over the years, it is possible to verify a growing demand for production in this type of trade. Fish farming has become increasingly necessary to meet the production demands for this market, as fish becomes increasingly scarce over the years due to predatory fishing, in addition to the environmental impacts generated. Then, the search for agility, ease and development of the sector becomes more and more fundamental, therefore, the present work aims to design a feed feeder for fish tanks to meet the demands and facilitate the daily life of the worker who deposits feed manually. For the development of the project, a helical conveyor was taken into account, based on the manual dimensioning of screw conveyor manufacturing companies and the ANSI/CEMA#350 standard that determines the parameters and guidelines to be followed. In addition, the creation of tilapia, currently dominant in the market, was taken into account in order to define some parameters. In this way, dimensioning of the conveyor, modeling and 3D design of the equipment was carried out, in addition to surveying the materials necessary for the manufacture of the designed equipment.
