Projeto de automação do sistema de rosca varredora em silos de armazenagem de grãos

Abstract

The proposal consists of improving an existing product, the control and protection panel for sweeping screws, by introducing adaptations to automate the screw work. Currently, the screw operates independently, without monitoring, requiring the physical presence of the employee to push it inside the silo. The idea is to install a remote network head and a frequency inverter in the screw control panel, allowing it to be operated and monitored remotely from the automation control room. This automation aims to reduce the time that the employee spends inside the silo, manually pushing the screw. The screw sweeper plays a crucial role in the efficient removal of grains from the silo, and its automation will provide more effective management of the process, with the operator controlling and monitoring the operation through an on-screen monitor.
