RISKS, PROTECTIONS, WARNINGS AND NOTICES
2.6.1
General Safety
The machine which has been installed by following the indications given in this manual (see Chapter 4
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION) and handled by operators according to these instructions cannot
be the cause of accidents.
In order to prevent risks of accidents, machines are usually equipped with such safety devices (active
and passive) as, for instance:
Feeding hopper
It prevents the operator from accidentally coming in contact with the moving mechanical parts inside
the shredding chamber.
The shredder is supplied with a bolted cover and the feeding inlet is closed by a PVC protection (in case
of standard hopper), which prevents material fly off caused by the shredding action in case of hard
material to be treated.
Motor coupling protection guard
The motor coupling is completely enclosed by a plate guard for the operators’ protection. It may be
removed after loosening the fastening screws.
Supporting stand closing grids and door
The supporting stand is surrounded and closed by a protection grid, which is fixed on 3 sides and has
openable doors on the fourth side (loading). The interlocked safety micro switches are installed on the
doors, which interrupt the shredder operation when they are opened.
The safety micro switches are of the locking type.
Photocells for detection of the collection bin
When the material shredded is discharged in a movable collection bin and therefore the supporting
frame cannot be equipped with safety fences, the supporting frame is equipped (or should be
equipped at customer’s charge) with photocells to detect the collection bin. In this case, the shredder
is started only after the photocells detect the collection bin positioned under the frame. If not, the
shredder will not start running.
Ladders and handrails
Access to the supporting frame is allowed through a ladder. The frame walkway is protected by
handrails.
shows a list of the main safety devices the machine is equipped with. End user is responsible
to verify and complete all aspects in connection with equipment safety in case of partly completed
machinery (almost machinery).
