The development of agricultural production of horticultural services is growing in the company JASL TETLA, which is dedicated to the sowing, harvesting, washing, drying, packaging and delivery of vegetables. This company require the use of machinery to increase work productivity, which makes the acquisition of specialized equipment necessary. The purpose of the present work is to develop the design of a lettuce centrifuge machine that reduces the drying time, which is currently 30 minutes for approximately 20 kg of lettuce, the centrifugal system is the most suitable for the drying process but it was considered a variant on the traditional circular design. The analysis was carried out to determine the appropriate type of the machine's transmission system, determining the number of transmissions bands to be used and the power of the motor, due to the characteristics of the process and the environment where the material used in the machine will be worked is steel stainless AISI 304.
