Abstract

In this research, an automatic control system is projected, which guarantees the constant flow of cane to the first mill of the tandem in the Central Argeo Martínez from the province of Guantánamo in Cuba; in such a way that the efficiency of extracting juices during the grinding process is guaranteed. For this it was necessary to characterize the cane feeding systems, as well as the analysis of the current situation of the process in said plant. It also presents the architecture of the proposed control system, the selection of the control strategy, as well as the modeling and calculation of the power of the motors that the process demands. The different instruments used in the process were characterized. The FX3U-32M series Mitsubishi brand PLC was described. The economic impact of the proposal is expressed to the extent that greater efficiency is achieved in the cane juice extraction process, production and maintenance costs decrease, and energy savings are boosted, which represents economic savings for the industry. The proposal for the automatic control system does not present damage to the environment, as it does not cause noise or waste that affects human beings, and it does not depend on the use of polluting energies. This control system does not constitute a source of accidents for the people who operate or manipulate it.
