Análise financeira para a implantação de um sistema de aspiração de cascas no setor de preparação em uma indústria de produção de óleo de soja

Abstract

In the soybean crushing industry, soybean meal is a high-value protein resulted from the extraction of oils from the grains. The soybean bran is marketed according to its protein content, fines and penalties are imposed on the supplier when this minimum limit is not achieved. The focus of the plant genetic improvements on production yield had caused a significant decrease in the protein content of the soybean grains. It has been found that the utilization of a hull aspiration system can remove up to 3.5% of the grain fibers during the grain breakage stage, generating protein saturation in the final bran. In order to promote an increase in the product portfolio and reduce the financial losses resulted from contract violation of the minimum protein content value, this work carries out the study of a financial analysis for implantation this process in this industrial sector. In this context, it is concluded a two-year payback potential and a profit of R$ 10 million at the end of the same period.
