GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
The following set of guidelines is intended to create awareness of potential health and safety hazards.
Normal Good Laboratory Practice
Normal good laboratory practices apply to the operation of IR furnaces. Do not use the space above
the furnace as storage. Do not block the cabinet doors preventing the cooling of the electronic
equipment inside. Do not operate with side covers off as this will prevent normal cooling of the
electronic equipment thus voiding the warranty. Tuck electrical cords out of the way. Do not store
flammables in the vicinity of the furnace and especially while operating the furnace with an oxygen
atmosphere.
HIGH TEMPERATURES. In general, the operation of any furnace may expose
operators or maintenance technicians to the risk of burns. After being
processed in a FurnacePros furnace, customer product may still be dangerous
to handle. Each owner is responsible for providing a safe work environment
and proper training in the handling of material being processed in a furnace.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. IR furnaces operate at high voltages.
Operation with side covers off constitutes a safety hazard. Ensure that main
power is off while side covers are removed.
Electrical shock hazards exist for those technicians who service the furnace.
High voltages are required to operate the furnace and precautions must be
taken to reduce the exposure to these elements. Again, it is the responsibility
of the furnace owner to assure that only properly trained service technicians,
familiar with high voltage operations be allowed to service the equipment
EXPLOSION Explosive dangers may exist in the high temperature process
environment of the furnace. If the furnace operates with process gas
containing hydrogen, measures must be taken to avoid the dangers of
explosion. Furthermore, improper gas flow balance may draw oxygen rich air
into the furnace, mixing with effluent gases and material from products, also
creating a hazardous environment.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Persons performing maintenance tasks such as
replacement of lamps may become exposed to silica fiber compounds. Such
tasks should be performed by qualified persons wearing gloves, eye protection
and a facemask to prevent inhalation of particulates.
ROTATING EQUIPMENT. Roller dangers exist when
working around the conveyor belt of the furnace. Care
should be taken not to place hands on or near the belt drive
mechanisms when the conveyor system is operating as
roller crush may occur. Operators should avoid walking
near the open ends of the conveyor belt. Those who must
be near the moving parts should wear close fitting clothing.
