surge hopper and the bottom edge of the cyclone when the surge

hopper is being raised.

:

Possible entrapment of operators fingers inside the pinch valve sleeves
during operation, maintenance and cleaning.

:

Risk of powder ingestion if care is not taken when cleaning the surge
hopper. Operators should wear a safety mask and goggles at all times

when cleaning the Pinch Valve Assembly.
