3 SAFETY
3.1 SAFETY ELEMENTS
Emergency stop switch (*)
The Emergency stop switch interrupts the functioning of the whole fruit processing line when pushed.
(*) It is located at the central command box (fruit processing line).
3.2 SAFETY MECHANISMS
Commands
The control panel is clearly visible, easily reachable at the central command box. The switches can be used just
for the purposes they are meant to.
Sudden black-out
In case of a sudden blackout changing or reconnecting to the electric network the machine does not cause
dangerous situations such as:
- a sudden start,
- improper operation of safety devices.
Stability of the machine
The machine is fitted on pivoting wheels and, therefore, mobile. Pivoting wheels are equipped with a double break
which prevents transversal and lateral moving. After placing the machine in the working space you must activate
the breaks.
Power supply
The machine has a regulated grounding of all built-in electric devices, the control panel and an overvoltage
protection with a safety contact switch.
3.3 SAFETY REGULATIONS
The owner of the machine must ensure:
- that the safety regulations are available to the personnel operating the machine,
- that the personnel operating the machine is acquainted with the safety regulations and skilled for the
operation of the machine,
- that the safety regulations are considered.
The intervention in the central command box is allowed to authorized personnel only. Authorised
personnel perform the preventive maintenance work without intervention in the electric command box.
The safety regulations from the manufacturer are only the basics of protection from dangerous
situations. An efficient protection from dangerous situations is not only about knowledge regarding
them, but also putting them in practice.
