Design and Analysis of Container Washing System

Sammanfattning: The project aims at designing an interior washing system for freight containers in a
completely automatic way. The project just deals with the mechanical development of
the system, leaving out aspects such as electrical wiring, electronics and system
programming. In this thesis the work focuses initially on the analysis of the major
existing methods within the field of design and development of new products.
Subsequently a methodology applicable to the project is created, as a basis to support
the generation and development of ideas for the design of the product. Finally a detailed
design is made for the parts of the process that do not exist in the market today, with
their correspondent Computer Aided Design (CAD) models, structural analysis using
the finite element method as well as some dynamic simulations.
The project concludes with a discussion of the methodology used analyzing which
aspects can be improved and which have worked well.
