Abstract

The study of the incidence of the wear and deformation of the closing elements in the operation conditions of the industry is complex, so it is necessary its investigation in the controlled conditions of the test banks. The objective of the work is to carry out a conceptual design of a test bank for the evaluation of the closing quality in circular cans that are generally used by companies dedicated to the production of canned tuna. From a conceptual design, a functional, safe and economic design variant for the test bench is structured, consisting of a power transmission by V-band. Complementarily, a resistance analysis of the closing elements, the selection of bearings and cost analysis were carried out. From the results of the strength analysis, the maximum stresses in the mandrel are distributed on the lip that compresses the can, for the rolls the maximum deformations are 1,75∙10^(-6)  mm in the section of the seal profiles. The manufacturing cost is 827,87 USD when considering the acquisition of new materials. The prototype allows to carry out the process of double closing in a correct and simple way.

Keywords: Concept design; double stitching; canned food; tin.
