Project objectives
The company was carrying out a manual process of mixing epoxy with hardener to fill a series of transformers. They needed to improve that process to run it in a more automated and cleaner way.
Tasks performed
- Design a system based on a vat with a motor that moves a propeller to automatically stir the epoxy and hardener to be mixed.
- To add the components to facilitate the operator to fill the transformers in a clean way (dispensing gun) and to remove as much air as possible (air inlet systems).
- Test to ensure that each component is made of materials compatible with epoxy and can be easily disassembled for later cleaning.
