Mejoras al programa de mantenimiento de máquinas deslodadoras para la extracción de aceite de palma // Improving the maintenance program of extracting fruit palm oil machines
Abstract
Resumen
La aplicación de nuevos enfoques de mantenimiento a partir de la identificación de oportunidades de
mejora de la confiabilidad operacional y los elementos que la componen, es una necesidad para
todas las organizaciones que pretendan incrementar sus indicadores de eficiencia. Las máquinas
que son objeto de estudio en el presente trabajo, pertenecen a una importante empresa cuyo objeto
es la extracción de aceite a partir de los frutos de la palma africana. Estas máquinas son atendidas,
en teoría, a partir de un programa de mantenimiento preventivo que ha demostrado limitaciones, toda
vez que la mayor parte de las intervenciones realizadas en los últimos años muestran un carácter
eminentemente reactivo. A partir de la realización de un análisis en el que fueron establecidas las
funciones, los fallos funcionales, los modos de fallo y sus efectos, se identificaron los requerimientos
de mantenimiento de estas máquinas y las tareas necesarias para asegurar la continuidad de las
funciones, las que se cocentraron en una propuesta de programa con marcada tendencia a las
actividades proactivas.
Palabras claves:
mantenimiento de equipos rotatorios, confiabilidad operacional, mantenimiento

Abstract
The application of new maintenance approaches related with operational reliability improvement and
its elements is a necessity for all enterprises that intend to increase efficiency indicators. The rotating
machines studied in this paper belong to an important plant that extracts oil from African palm tree
fruits. These machines are submitted, in theory, to a preventive maintenance program, but actually
the most of maintenance activities are reactive. An analysis in order to identify functions, functional
failures, failure modes and failure effects was made. Maintenance tasks for assuring the continuity of
functions were also identified and concentred in a proposal with a very proactive trend.
Key words:
maintenance of rotating equipment, operational reliability, proactive maintenance,
maintenance strategies, operational reliability.
proactivo, estrategias de mantenimiento, confiabilidad operacional.
