“…Food production processes generate a large quantity of waste, which is often nutrient-rich. Although there is a trend towards using waste to produce valuable products, most of the generated waste is still disposed of [7,8]. Unfortunately, no information is available regarding the stage of food production that gives rise to most of the waste.…”

Finite Element Simulation Tests of the Structural Strength of the Molding Module for Burger Production from Vegetable Outgrades

The aim of the study was to assess the stresses of the structural materials of the forming module in the process of burger production from vegetable outgrades. The simulation research object was a virtual CAD 3D model of a device used for forming multi-vegetable products. Strength tests were performed on the computational model by applying the finite element method. The following were analyzed in the model: the forces exerted by the mixture of vegetables on the side walls of the tank and the dosing unit; the force from the servomotor resulting from the horizontal thickening of the vegetable mixture; the force from the servomotor resulting from the vertical mixing of the vegetable mixture; the force from the die assembly actuator; the force caused by punching the actuator from the die assembly. For evaluating the structure in the scope of the study, it was assumed that safely reduced stresses should be taken into account, with a safety factor equal to 1.1 of the yield strength of the parent material from which the structure was made (steel 1.4301 (304) with a yield stress Re0.2 of 230 MPa). For welds, safely reduced stresses should be taken into account, with a safety factor equal to 1.4 of the yield strength (Re0.2 of 230 MPa). Strength analyses confirmed that the permissible stress levels were not exceeded in the molding module.
