Abstract

The design of food packaging machines requires a comprehensive analysis of the influence of thermal and mechanical loads, considering that operational conditions may induce heat concentration and stress that accelerate structural failure. This study aims to analyze the thermo-mechanical behavior of a food packaging press machine using ANSYS software with a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) approach. The simulation was conducted to evaluate temperature distribution, deformation due to torsional loads, and Von-Mises equivalent stress on the machine frame. The heat transfer simulation revealed that the maximum temperature reached 85.34 ℃ after 120 s, with localized heat distribution around the central shaft, while the main frame remained relatively stable at 28 ℃. The deformation analysis indicated dimensional changes were localized near the heating center, without significantly propagating across the entire structure. Meanwhile, the Von-Mises stress analysis demonstrated a maximum stress of 182.45 MPa on the upper frame, while the lower frame experienced negligible stress. These findings highlight the existence of critical points in the machine that are vulnerable to combine thermal and mechanical loads. This study contributes to the development of more reliable food packaging machine designs through the identification of critical regions and the recommendation of structural improvements.
