| Sumario: | The aim of this master thesis is to provide the design of the system for the food printing that would eliminate the disadvantages of previous end effectors variants. Within the conceptual design and study of alternatives, an overview of existing methods of pumping has been elaborated. The main objective of this section is to provide an overview of the techniques and equipment used for pumping materials in the food industry, where it is important to observe health and safety regulations and subsequently to choose a suitable equipment and features of the device. Within the detail design section, a design of basic parameters of the pump according to the selected operating requirements has been elaborated. Therefore, with help of the modeling software, 3D model and manufacturing drawings of individual pump components were provided. It has been elaborated a feasibility study of the project. At the end of the project, the return of the project investment has been calculated and it has been processed a real model of the equipment. |
