Abstract
The main objective of this paper was to design and manufacture a turning table for fixing conical and tori spherical heads used for tanks in beer industry, to polish the surfaces and to obtain better quality and roughness. The turning table is an indispensable fixture device in the polishing process for vessel heads, where the accuracy and the roughness of the surface is an important factor because it can influence the quality of the beer. If the surface is smooth, the microbes and bacteria cannot be deposited on the tanks’ surfaces and also a good quality of the tanks’ walls prevent contamination in the beer composition. The research were made in Inotec Company, Romania. The new proposed design for the turning table improved the actual technology and reduced the manufacturing time. The tests made on the obtained manufactured products using the rotary table showed that the surface quality was improved too.
