Design and construction of a stone cocoa grinding and chocolate making machine for the ”La Gran Cascada” farm

Abstract

I would like to thank some professors that helped me through the entire career, being an inspiration for me in every step of this process, I would like to thank the support of Gabriela Andaluz and Luis Andrade and their provided knowledge and advice. To Pablo Velarde and Patricio Cruz for inspiring my personal growth and finally to Julio Vega, who financed my research and the construction of my ideas, I would have not been able to make this without him. I would also like to thank my classmates and friends, specially Carlos Narvaez and Karla Calle for the support they have given me throughout this process, through late- night feedback and moral support, helping me with ideas and love. Lastly, my family, their belief and support kept my motivation high, even in the darkest of days. My cousin, Pablo Andrade for his knowledge and support and my brother Luis, who has been an inspiration for me every day of my life.
