2.4 Equipment characteristics
Berkem plating machines are built to plate gold jewellery, costume jewellery, watch-making and
precision mechanics. The objects to plate are processed in the machines, firstly to be degreased and
then to carry out other plating applications.
→Degreasing treatments are generally performed by placing objects in the tank on the left of the
machine, where a degreasing/stripper solution is poured in. The solution is activated by passing
current.
→Instead, the galvanic treatments can be carried out in the tank on the right, by placing the
objects inside electrolytic solutions and activating the appropriate working voltages.
Technical characteristics
Easy to use digital interface
Multi-parameter working settings (voltage, current, time, ampere/minutes)
5 independent working programs
5 independents ampere-minute counters ( consumption calculation )
Variable speed magnetic stirrer
Safety self stop thermal probe
Reduced weight and dimensions
Assembly components in stainless steel
100% made in Italy
Complies with EU directives
ATTENTION: The machines, by operating, develop vapours due to electrolytic plating,
therefore they must be placed in a working place equipped
with an
adequate suction hood.

15.SAFETY RISKS
The only safety device on the machine is the main switch which can be used as an emergency stop. Its
intervention creates a category 0 emergency: power is instantaneously cut to all the devices on the
machine.
The machine has no mobile parts accessible to the operator requiring use of the interlocking fixed or
mobile guards. The only motor on the machine is the magnetic stirrer which is inside the machine
casing: the motor cannot even be reached by the planned openings to insert the tanks in Pyrex glass.
The stirrer does not have any blades or rotors, but just a magnetic fastener which rotates via two
permanent magnets, moved by the motor.
The machine has danger zones due to the presence of high temperature units, due to the presence of
dangerous substances or fumes and due to the presence of 220Vac powered parts.
The potentially dangerous zones detected on the machine are as follows:
ZONE A = Degreasing tank- Plating tank.
ZONE B = Main switch.
ZONE C = Electric box.
ZONE D = Heater plate.
These potentially dangerous zones were signalled to the operator using adhesive warning, obligation
and instruction plates.
The machine, in the indicated zones, presents residual risks due to reasonably predictable improper
behaviour by the operator: even if adequately signalled on the instructions manual and using
pictograms, the dangers can be ignored by the operator.
The danger zones of the machine are highlighted as follows:

01/12/14
Manuale Uso GALVALINK_302B_v3_14 EN Completo
18
Fig.8
ZONE A
The degreasing zone and the plating zone are dangerous because they have corrosive substances for
hands, which during the plating process release toxic vapours in the air.
→It is compulsory to use the fume suction hood with the machine on.
→Smoking is forbidden.
→It is compulsory to use the individual protection devices listed below: goggles, gloves,
apron, safety mask to protect the airways.
A residual risk persists, despite all the affixed signs, as the operator may decide not to
comply with them.
ZONE B
The equipment is powered with 220Vac voltage and therefore the danger of electrocution persists if the
powered parts are touched or damaged.
ZONE C
The electric box can present dangers in the event of a short circuit or overloading of the electric devices.
→The cables section and their colouring meet the requirements of standard EN 60204-
1:2006.
→The heater plate is directly connected to the equipotent circuit to avoid dispersion
currents in case of loss of insulation on the heating element.
→The heating element underwent dielectric strength testing at 1250Volt.
→The power socket incorporates the protection fuses on the 220Vac line.
→The power transformer underwent dielectric strength testing at 3750Volt: it is
dimensioned to resist a short circuit on the secondary, staying within the temperature for
insulation class F.
ZONE D
ZONE A
ZONE B
ZONE C

01/12/14
Manuale Uso GALVALINK_302B_v3_14 EN Completo
19
→The magnetic mixer motor has an insulation class F.
The presence of an electric control board or an electric motor can generate electromagnetic disturbance
for adjacent equipment or disturbance can be felt from the mains.
→The casing of the machine containing the electrical and electronic equipment is
manufactured in sheet metal: the casing connected to the equipotent circuit protects the
equipment and limits any radiated emissions.
→The power socket incorporates a single mains filter.
ZONE C-D
The powered parts can be dangerous if they come in contact with degreasing and plating liquids.
→The electric part controlling the machine is separated from the tank zone using sheet
metal.
→All the electro-mechanical parts assembled on the machine have an IP2X degree of
protection against direct contacts.
→All the electro-mechanical parts are installed on a metal base plate connected to the
equipotent circuit.
→The cables powering the heater resister at 220Vac are protected by a sheath.
→The pre-insulated terminals powering the mixer motor are protected by a sheath.
ZONE D
In the event of breakage of the control circuit, the heating plate can reach dangerous temperatures for
the operator and for the machine.
→In the event of malfunctioning or breakage of the PTC thermal probe, a bi-metal thermal
pellet calibrated to 180°C intervenes, assembled directly on the heater plate. The pellet
directly shuts off power to the heating element.
The heater plate can reach dangerous temperatures for the operator (170°C) and can maintain, due to
thermal inertia, this temperature for many minutes even after the machine is switched off.
→The structure of the machine in painted metal protects the operator from accidental
contact with the heater plate.
→It is compulsory to use safety gloves.
A residual risk persists, despite all the affixed signs, as the operator may decide not to
comply with them.
16.INFORMATION ON AERIAL NOISE ON THE MACHINE
