Robot-printer for creating elements of technological equipment for the production of components of biofuel compositions
This addresses the need for better technological equipment in the biofuel industry, but it appears incremental as it applies existing robotic prototyping to a specific domain.
The study tackled the problem of improving equipment for biofuel production by developing a robotic module for prototyping parts, such as a cleaning apparatus, using plastics, which was tested and shown to be effective.
This study is devoted to the search for new scientific and technical solutions in the field of renewable energy sources, in particular biofuels. Biomass is the main fuel for green energy, accounting for two thirds of the energy produced from renewable sources. The further development of the industry depends on the improvement of the equipment and technologies used in it. On the example of a cleaning apparatus, a new technology for prototyping its parts using a robotic module is shown and tested. The use of plastics as parts of technological equipment is a modern trend and may be due to the low adhesion strength of various substances to the surface of these parts due to poor wettability and low values of the surface energy of these materials compared to metals.
