Implementação de sistema de controle de temperatura em uma indústria de laminação de madeira em Santarém - Pará.

Abstract

The Brazilian industrial sector has been growing since the 19th century, continuously contributing to the country's economy. The timber industry is the second most important activity in the economy of Pará. To gain prominence, some companies have sought to add value through the manufacturing industry by producing laminates, cladding and the like. Automation is a growing process that has contributed to economic development and has been seen as an important means for the modernization of the industrial park, helping to reduce production time, the risk of downtime, and even impacts to the environment with controlled use Of natural resources. In Santarém-PA, a company that works with laminated wood is investing in process control in search of the mentioned benefits. The objective of this work is the design, implementation, testing and commissioning of temperature control in the tanks destined to the wood cooking of this company, through the automatic actuation of solenoid valves that aim to regulate the flow of steam to the tanks, coming from a Boiler located on the same floor. The manual control currently used implies losses since it is usual for the valves to be open longer than necessary, it also imposes difficulties in obtaining the color specification demanded by the customers.
