A competitividade da indústria corticeira e a necessidade de aumento da produtividade
conduzem à procura contínua de soluções que permitam melhorar o desempenho dos
processos produtivos e reduzir limitações associadas ao funcionamento dos equipamentos.
Neste contexto, a presente dissertação incidiu sobre a análise e otimização de um processo de
trituração de cortiça numa unidade industrial do setor corticeiro, com foco na identificação de
constrangimentos operacionais e implementação de ações de melhoria na capacidade
produtiva da linha. Procedeu-se à caracterização do processo produtivo e à análise do
comportamento operacional dos equipamentos através da recolha e tratamento de dados de
funcionamento da instalação. A análise efetuada permitiu identificar limitações associadas à
alimentação do equipamento de trituração, comportamento do rotor, estabilidade operacional
e características da matéria-prima. Com base nos problemas identificados, foram realizados
diversos ensaios associados à parametrização da alimentação e inversão do fluxo de operações,
bem como implementadas ações de melhoria ao nível da alteração da lógica de funcionamento
do sistema de alimentação e substituição do rotor. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram
melhorias na estabilidade operacional e na capacidade produtiva da linha, verificando-se um
aumento da quantidade processada relativamente à situação inicial.
The competitiveness of the cork industry and the need to increase productivity lead to the continuous search for solutions capable of improving the performance of production processes and reducing limitations associated with equipment operation. In this context, the present dissertation focused on the analysis and optimization of a cork crushing process in an industrial unit of the cork sector, with emphasis on the identification of operational constraints and implementation of improvement actions aimed at increasing the productive capacity of the line. The production process was characterized and the operational behaviour of the equipment was analysed through the collection and treatment of operating data from the installation. The analysis carried out allowed the identification of limitations associated with the feeding of the crushing equipment, rotor behaviour, operational stability and raw material characteristics. Based on the identified problems, several tests related to feed parameterization and inversion of the operational flow were performed, as well as improvement actions regarding the operating logic of the feeding system and rotor replacement. The results obtained demonstrated improvements in operational stability and the line's production capacity, with an observed increase in the processed quantity compared to the initial situation.
