Abstract
To speed up the loading and unloading of goods during the transportation process, many companies use palletizing, which is a technique that uses platforms called pallets for loads and that allows them to be moved by forklifts or hydraulic cars. Large industries generally opt for palletizing systems that are fully automated and that require high investment for deployment, which may be infeasible for small company and discontinuous productions such as the productions of microbreweries. The manual palletizing of loads, however, can cause serious risks of musculoskeletal injuries. Thus, identifying the need, through the study of transport logistic of some microbreweries, the design of a pelletizing machine was developed specifically for this type of beer production. Based on an iterative methodology the geometry of the machine was developed by SolidWorks, which is computer-aided design software. In this way, this work presents the conceptual design of a semiautomatic palletizer to be used in microbreweries. The equipment uses mechanical, electrical and hydraulic systems manually operated.
