Abstract
A Mexican manufacturing plant, whose main product is bottled Pox (a traditional Mexican alcoholic beverage), requested the design and construction of an automatic bottling machine able to fill six bottles of 750 milliliters per minute and satisfy the exigencies of the Mexican regulation NOM-002-SCFI-2011. To develop this machine it was necessary, as a first step, to make an experimental study to determine the adequate dosage method to use, resulting in a dosage controlled with an electrical sensor that detects the free surface of the liquid inside the bottle. The automatic bottling machine is composed of four modules to fulfill the continuous supply of bottles and the liquid dosage. To command the complete control system and perform the automatic functions of the machine, an Arduino UNO board was adopted. The result of the work generated a versatile, efficient machine with a robust control system, able to dosage 250 to 4’000 ml volumes, not only for alcoholic beverages but for any liquid with viscosity and electrical conductivity similar to water, with an error not bigger than 15 ml.
