2 Safety
2.1 Intended use
The Mixproof Butterfly Valve is used for the separation of media in pipe sections.
Using the device for any other purpose is considered contrary to its designated
use.
Hint!
The manufacturer will not accept any liability for damage resulting
from any use of the valve which is not in accordance with the
designated use of the valve. The risk of such misuse lies entirely with
the operator of the facility.
2.1.1 Flow speed
With slow flow speeds, existing solids holding space can potentially settle.
When the butterfly valve is closed quickly, this causes negative pressure on the
disk and in the area of the butterfly valve seal, as a result of a stall. With flow
speeds of ≥ 3.5 m/s, the valve may only be closed with significantly reduced
speed.
2.1.2 Pressure equipment directive
The Mixproof Butterfly Valves are pressure equipment (without safety function) in
the sense of the pressure equipment directive: Directive 2014/68/EG. They are
classified according to Annex II, article 4, section 3. In the event of any
deviations, GEA Tuchenhagen GmbH will supply a specific Declaration of
Conformity.
2.1.3 ATEX directive
In areas with an explosive atmosphere, only valves suitable for use in such areas
may be used.
Refer to and observe the additional operating instructions “ATEX version valves”.
For details regarding the marking of valves for potentially hazardous areas also
refer to the additional operating instructions “ATEX version valves”.
If these valves are used in areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere, you
must absolutely comply with directive 2014/34/EC with respect to all ignition
hazards.
2.1.4 Improper operating conditions
The operational safety of the component can not be guaranteed under improper
operating conditions. Therefore avoid improper operating conditions.
The operation of the component is not permitted if:
•Persons or objects are in the danger zone.
•Safety devices are not working or were removed.
•Malfunctions have been detected on the component.
Safety
Intended use
430BAL010337EN_7
29.07.2021 9

•Damage to the component has been detected.
•Maintenance intervals have been exceeded.
2.1.5 Requirements for operation
The prerequisite for reliable and safe operation of the component is proper
transportation and storage as well as professional installation and assembly.
Operating the unit within the limits of its designated use also involves adhering to
the operating, inspection and maintenance instructions.
2.2 Operator’s Duty of Care
The operating company of the component has a special responsibility for the
proper and safe handling of the component within their company. Only use the
component when it is in perfect operating condition in order to prevent danger to
persons and property.
This operating manual contains information that you and your employees need
for safe operation over the life of the component. Be sure to read these Operating
Instructions carefully and ensure that the measures described here are observed.
The operator's duty of care includes planning the necessary safety measures and
monitoring that these measures are observed. The following principles apply:
•Only qualified personnel may work on the component.
•The operating company must authorize personnel to carry out the relevant
tasks.
•Order and cleanliness must be maintained at the work stations and in the
entire area surrounding the component.
•Personnel must wear suitable work clothing and personal protective
equipment. As the operating company must ensure that work clothing and
personal protective equipment are used.
•Inform personnel regarding any properties of the product which might pose a
health risk and the preventative measures to be taken.
•Have a qualified first-aid representative on call during the operation. This
person must be able to initiate any necessary first-aid measures in case of an
emergency.
•Clearly define procedures, competences and responsibilities for those
working in the area of the component. Everybody must know what to do in
case of an emergency. Instruct the staff in this respect at regular intervals.
•The signs on the component must always be complete and easy to read.
Check, clean and replace the signs as necessary at regular intervals.
•Observe the Technical Data specified and the limits of use!
Hint!
Carry out regular checks. This way you can ensure that these
measures are actually observed.
