Pallet wrapper FS395 is a machine designed and manufactured to wrap pallets using stretch film with a thickness

up to 35 micron.

CYCLE AND OPERATION MODE OF MACHINE

Machine FS395 is suitable for the wrapping of palletized goods using film to protect or stabilize them.

Wrapping modes vary depending on the setting most suitable to obtain the best protection and stabilization results

and depend on the type of goods on the pallet.

SAFETY MEASURES

The machine is equipped with all the fixed and movable guards and protective devices necessary to guarantee

personnel safety: operator and authorised service centre. In this case, during automatic cycle processing, the work

area and the machine movements must be segregated with interlocked fixed and movable guards.

For tooling, loading/unloading, etc... operations it is not necessary, and therefore not possible, to suspend the

protective devices to command movements of the machine with hold-to-run devices (enhanced safety conditions),

with electrically sensitive (safety barrier) protective devices temporarily suspended in manual operating conditions.

FURTHER SPECIFICATIONS

The machine is stationary, i.e. is designed to be placed on stable ground that can withstand the weight of the

machine and the pallet.

The machine is intended solely for professional operators and not for consumers.

2.3. EMISSION OF AIRBORNE NOISE

INFORMATION ON AIRBORNE NOISE EMISSION

FEATURES

A-weighted sound pressure levels emission at workstations

Near the control panel

< 70 dB (A) 3 dB (A) of uncertainty

The values shown are emission levels and do not necessarily represent safe levels of exposure while on the job.

Although emission levels and exposure levels are correlated, the correlation may not be used in a manner reliable

in establishing whether further precautions are necessary or not. The factors influencing the level of current

exposure of the operator include the characteristics of the work place, other sources of noise, etc., as well as the

number of machines and other processes in the vicinity. The exposure level may also vary from country to country.

In any case, this information does allow the machine user to better assess the degree of risk and danger.

The above-mentioned values are those effectively measured on the machine in question.

Sound data is measured using the methods defined in the harmonised standards and the most

appropriate measuring code for the machine: EN 415-9:2009
