Abstract

The control of the temperature of foods using cryogenic freezing equipment, becomes complicated when techniques of classical control as PID are used (Proportional + Integral + Derivative), due to the strong coupling between the variables and the non-linearities of the system. Currently, in most food processing plants that use tunnels of cryogenic freezing, the control is carried out through manual adjustments of set-points of control loops of the speed and temperature of the freezing tunnel, which results in deviations in the process output, derived mainly from the difference of criteria existing between operators and the response speed of them to variations in the process conditions. In this paper, we treat separately the control loops of speed and temperature, the current control loops are reconfigured and are intoned, and finally, is developed a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy controller to adjust the set-point of the temperature of the freezing tunnel, in function of the product and the conditions of entry of food into the process. The behavior of the system is tested by its simulation, verifying that the system maintains the product temperature at -18 °C, regardless of changes in the product mass to cool (from 200 kg to 220 kg) and in the mass flow of the product (from 650 kg/h to 700 kg/h).
