Work  instructions must  be prepared by  the operating  company  of  the  belt  hopper on 
how to handle the product parts. This manual, in addition to the operating instructions, 
must be completely followed by the operator of the belt hopper. In the interest of occu-
pational  health  and  safety  (such  as  handling  cleaning  agents),  operating  instructions 
are required which the operating company must prepare. 

Commissioning, maintenance and repair work must only be performed by skilled per-
sonnel. 

Only  such  persons must  be allowed  to  work  with  the  belt  hopper  who  have  been  in-
structed on handling this belt hopper. 

Before commissioning the belt hopper, it must be inspected to ensure its settings are 
correct and that the required well-functioning safety devices are installed. 

The trained and qualified personnel must  check the functional state of the protection 
and safety devices at the beginning of each shift. If any defects are detected that ad-
versely impact the safety of the belt hopper, then the hopper must be shut down until 
these defects have been remedied. 

No cleaning tasks may be performed on the belt hopper after it has been switched on. 

The operating personnel is not permitted to perform work on the electrical equipment. 

Do not reach into the conveyor belts or touch the conveyed goods while the belt hopper 
is in operation. 

Defective machine parts must be replaced as soon as possible.  

As a general rule, no safety devices must be removed or bypassed. 

WARNING

 

 

Disconnect  the  belt  hopper  from  the  power  supply  during  setup, 
maintenance, when making repairs or eliminating faults. Work on 
the  electrical  equipment  must  only  be  carried  out  by  a  qualified 
electrician. There is a risk of injury and danger of electric shock. 
Make  sure  that  the  protective  ground  of  the  power  supply  is  in 
properly working condition. 

 

1.3.1

 

Danger areas 

 

CAUTION

 

 

Despite the low conveyor speed, the operating personnel may be 
at risk of body parts being caught in the machinery at the positions 
listed below due to its use or handling:

 

a)

 

Area of the fastening rail - conveyor belt  

b)

 

Narrow space between hinged spout - conveyor belt (under-
side of hopper)
