In the world, there is currently an inefficiency at the level of food safety, in 2020 in Colombia there were 268 outbreaks of ETA'S (Foodborne diseases) involving 3079 sick people. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2020, 600 million people got sick of which 420.000 died from this cause which generates different outbreaks of ETA'S [1]. This project aims to design a prototype which can preserve food safety focused on food at the time of being distributed to the final consumer, based on a traction system exerted by a conveyor belt through a hermetic box using an electronic system to drive spray lines completing the process in a drying line, thus obtaining a safer food at the time of ingestion, a saving of 70% water is achieved compared to previous prototypes used for the same purpose.
