Design of a biomass burner for trapiches paneleros

This article is the continuation of a research work based on the thesis entitled "Technological Improvement Proposal in the Production Process of Panela in the Department of Narino", it was developed in order to obtain the degree in Industrial Engineering. The result of the investigation showed that one of the critical processes to improve productivity and efficiency rates in Panela production in traditional mills is the process of generation and heat transfer. For this reason, a research to develop a machine to improve this process was carried out, and represents a viable alternative in terms of technology and economy for small producers.
