ESTUDO DE CASO DE UM COLETOR DE APITOXINA (API 04 PLUS) E MODELAGEM DE MONTAGEM

. Several bees were introduced to Brazil by humans, as their by-products such as pollen, wax and venom can be used by humans in a wide variety of applications. Having that in mind, an equipment called apitoxin API 04 Plus was developed - it is capable of collecting bee venom (apitoxin) in a safe way. The present work carried out a case study of the API 04 Plus equipment, proposing changes in the materials and configurations that were used, with the objective of modeling the equipment for assembly. The materials used for the manufacture were surveyed, the equipment's operating mechanisms were studied and the market effects were characterized. It can be concluded from the study that the equipment is operational and functional, and that it is possible to sell the disassembled equipment for assembly by the customer.
