Diseño de un sistema de aspersión para la lubricación interna de los volcos en la planta de asfalto de la empresa Icein s.a.s

Abstract

This work aims to propose the design of a sprinkler irrigation system to lubricate the internal walls of the dump trucks of the double-truck dump trucks belonging to the fleet of the company ICEIN Ingenieros Constructores. The system will be designed for the Vista Hermosa (Mosquera) asphalt plant, where it produces asphalt to cover the civil works of Caracas Sur, Canal Córdoba and Avenida Tintal in Bogotá, in addition to upcoming projects and the sale of Asphalt Mixtures to allied companies. This is in order to prevent the asphalt mixtures produced there from leaving residues adhered to the interior of the metal walls of the dumps, which has caused a decrease in the useful volume of the asphalt mixture to be spread. Additionally, to avoid the carrying, use and handling of fuel in unauthorized containers by the drivers of these vehicles, which are used for the internal lubrication of these dump trucks, when loading asphalt mixtures and any type of material that may adhere to the internal walls of the dump trucks.
