Levantamiento y caracterización del proceso industrial de la línea bovina del Camal Municipal de Riobamba.

Abstract

This research work hard as objective to characterize the slaughter process of cattle in the carnal municipal of Riobamba through of engineering calculation for optimization. Sampling was realized non-probability for analysis of process variables were: taking weights of cattle and byproducts, the uptime, downtime, line speed and the measurement of water flow at each stage of

the process through observation and in-situ data collection. It was found that there is a breach of

standard INEN 1218:1985 Meat and meat products, the main problems in the line of cattle were

determined with

the help of the diagram cause – effect; such as: the existence of downtimes, bad handling of blood, excessive water consumption, lack of disinfection of areas and working utensils, lack of shower before slaughter animal. Engineering calculations were made to solve problems, proposing the redesign of the area of bleeding, which is the critical point in the process, using stainless steel gratings of 2,20m x 3,04m, a bleed equipment for adequate and hygienic management of blood occurring weekly 11627 liters for further treatment, installation of sterilizers for knives in the stages of bled preparation, remove leather and gutted. Applying this process will reduce water consumption by animal 651,85 to 400 liters; representing 30% monthly both consumption of water as economic cost. This study recommended decrease downtime with to periodically train on slaughter process to operators in order to ensure consumer meat treated, clean and hygienic achieving the parameters stipulated in the standard INEN 1218:1985.
