Implementation of a Prototype of a 3D Printing RPET Filament Extruder Machine

Abraham Chuzon Benites — 2024-10-17

This article presents the research proposal whose objective is to design and build an innovative extruder capable of processing thermoplastic polymers and recycling 3D printing waste in a university laboratory. The result will be the production of RPET (Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate) filaments with a diameter of 1.75 mm, suitable for use in 3D printers. VDI methods 2221 and 2225 are applied to determine the structure of the extruder, as well as its mechanical and electrical components, along with the necessary calculations to ensure accurate construction. The exponential growth of 3D printing has led to an increase in the generation of thermoplastic plastic waste used in this process. In order to address this challenge and promote sustainable practices, the development of a specialized extruder is proposed to recycle these materials and produce high-quality RPET filaments for the community of the 3D printing laboratory of the Señor de Sipán University. To carry out this investigation, the VDI 2221 and 2225 design and analysis methods were used. These approaches will be applied to determine the optimal structure of the extruder, its mechanical and electrical components, as well as to perform the necessary calculations to ensure compliance. of production requirements.

Importance of Data Analytics in the Supply Chain in Distribution Companies

Daniel Estiven Salinas Londoño — 2024-11-06

This study highlights the importance of data analytics in the management of the supply chain of distribution companies, improving efficiency, visibility and decision making. The methodology includes the collection and analysis of information from sources such as Google Scholar, Scopus and ScienceDirect, focusing on publications from the last 5 years. Of fifty initial articles, twenty-five were selected for the development of the document, organized in an Excel matrix. The results show that data analytics is essential for distribution companies, allowing them to make informed decisions, identify market patterns and quickly adapt to changes in demand and supply. Its implementation improves operational efficiency and the ability to respond to logistical and operational challenges, especially in small and medium-sized companies. In conclusion, data analytics is positioned as an invaluable strategic resource in supply chain management, providing a significant competitive advantage in the pursuit of operational excellence and business success. This study is distinguished by its focus on the systematic review of data analytics in distribution companies, providing updated knowledge about its impact on operational efficiency and business competitiveness.

Design and construction of a combustion system for a high-density polyethylene pyrolytic reactor

Johan Alexis Torres Gamez — 2024-12-05

The research aims to design and construct a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) burner for the pyrolysis of high-density polyethylene waste. Using a quantitative and experimental methodology, theoretical concepts were reviewed, and the combustion equipment was developed. Its performance in terms of efficiency and emissions will be evaluated during its operation in a pyrolytic reactor. The project aims to reduce pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions, offering a clean alternative to produce synthetic fuels from the thermal decomposition of polymers. This research addresses the question: To what extent are greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduced with the implementation of LPG as fuel in a laboratory-scale pyrolytic reactor? The introduction of LPG as an alternative fuel option in the pyrolysis process contributes to the proposal of alternative energies in the search for utilizing available resources to reduce environmental impact while employing appropriate technologies.
