Diseño de una línea de producción de jabón en forma de pastillas a escala industrial

The objective of the research was to design an in-plant production line for the development of a soap in bar form on an industrial scale. The research was carried out at the RRFARMA laboratory premises. The acceptance of the best formulation was determined through the application of validation tests where the parameters performance, fragrance, color, similarity, satisfaction of use and purchase intention were evaluated. Compliance with quality requirements was determined through sanitization tests on Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Salmonella. A production line was developed taking into account the waste generated in soap production. Validation tests showed that the sample meets the acceptance parameters, which in turn is associated with a purchase intention. The physicochemical results showed a pH of 5.8 and a solubility time of 15 minutes. The results of the performance of the bar-type soap through sanitization tests showed an effectiveness of 99.99%. In the establishment of the production line, a cost per unit of 8.5 grams equivalent to $0.9484 was obtained, which considers the expenses generated by the costs of materials and inputs, people involved in the work, indirect material and production costs. Keywords: Effectiveness, soaps, sanitation.La investigación tuvo como objetivo el diseño de una línea de producción en planta para el desarrollo de un jabón en forma de pastilla a escala industrial. La investigación se desarrolló en los predios del laboratorio RRFARMA. Se determinó la aceptación de la mejor formulación mediante la aplicación de pruebas de validación en donde se evaluaron los parámetros desempeño, fragancia, color, similitud, satisfacción del uso e intención de compra. Se determinó el cumplimiento de los requisitos de calidad por medio de pruebas de sanitización sobre Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli y Salmonella. Se desarrolló una línea de producción considerando los egresos generados en la producción del jabón. Las pruebas de validación demostraron que la muestra cumple con los parámetros de aceptación, lo que a su vez se asocia con una intención de compra. Los resultados fisicoquímicos dieron como resultados un pH de 5.8 y un tiempo de solubilidad de 15 minutos. Los resultados del desempeño del jabón tipo pastilla por medio de las pruebas de sanitización mostraron una efectividad del 99.99$0.9484, en la que se consideran los gastos generados por los costos de materiales e insumos, las personas que intervienen en el trabajo, material indirecto y los gastos de producción. Palabras clave: Efectividad, jabones, sanitización. Abstract The objective of the research was to design an in-plant production line for the development of a soap in bar form on an industrial scale.
