Risks in the environment where the shredder is installed
Should the shredder be used to process substances which, after working on, can cause a degradation
in the environment in which the machine is installed (e.g. emission of dust in large quantities, harmful
or irritating substances etc.) it will become necessary to carry out an adequate environment protection
by using air suction or other suitable systems to do away with the polluting effects.
The most common cases that can threaten the environmental quality, even after a correct use of the
shredder, are the following:
•
an excessive emission of dust due to the type of material shredded;
•
the emission of harmful substances following special materials being shredded (e.g.
containers with toxic and harmful substance residues);
•
very loud noise caused by materials of high mechanical rigidity;
•
excessive wear of the machine and ensuing performance degradation due to highly abrasive
material (e.g. fiber-glass compounds, high sand contents, emery grinding wheels etc.).
The presence of toxic substances in the material processed does introduce further risks in operating
the machine, therefore in the above listed applications and in analogous ones, even if not detailed, it
is up to the user to proceed with the necessary environmental protection carried out according to the
rules in force and eventually intensify the number of extraordinary maintenance interventions.
The user must make sure that adequate protection (masks, gloves, protective clothing, eyes washer,
etc.) is guaranteed to the operator and the people in charge of maintenance work and to supply, where
necessary, a suction system in the area where the shredder is installed.
CAUTION
The user has the obligation of informing specifically and adequately the operators
about codes of behaviour and about individual protection means to be used in
these cases and must also make sure that the safety measures are effectively
respected.
