ESTUDIO DE FACTIBILIDAD PARA LA IMPLEMENTACIÓN DE UNA PLANTA PROCESADORA DE CAFÉ LIOFILIZADO EN EL CANTÓN CHONE .

Abstract

The present investigation allowed to study the feasibility for the implementation of a freeze-dried coffee processing plant in the city of Chone, to carry out this process the market was studied through different information collection techniques which allowed to obtain a projection for the production of freeze-dried coffee that covers the demand of 105.7 kg monthly, where more than 58% of coffee consumers focus on the quality that it should have. The process for the manufacture of freeze-dried coffee begins with the collection of the coffee bean, which must be 1,174.45 Kg, once received it must go through different stages such as Pulping and Filtration of its components, a process that is carried out through of the Compact Eco-Line machine; washed; Roasting and Grinding through the t1t-0a0 Roaster and the m3d-rao Disc Mill respectively; infused; Freezing at 40° and 50°C on average through the Kemolo fd-50 Lyophilizer; Packaging with the x-vac Vacuum Packaging Unit; and its respective weight with the 150kg stainless steel industrial electronic platform scale. In addition to this, a complete financial study is presented, this allows projecting the coffee freeze-drying plant that will bear the name of "Coffee Finca", the production costs are assumed through financing for a value of 125,000.00 to 10 years. term, including such values the costs of machinery, advertising, salaries, raw materials, among other aspects; the viability of the project is established at 19,428.27 and with administrative restructuring after 5 years.
