3.6 Noise level
The noise level of the SILOTOP®R03 series dust collector does not exceed the limit of the directive 86/188/
CEE and 89/392/CEE.
The measured equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level LAeq is 70.0 dB(A).
All readings were taken at 1 metre distance from the equipment at 1.6 metres from ground, with compressed
air shots at 6 bar each 28 seconds, using a precision sound level meter.
Noise measurements of installed equipment may vary due to site conditions.

3.10 Safety devices
Access to the inspection hatches is not necessary while using the equipment concerned. Their use represents
extraordinary use as they were provided for removing foreign bodies and accumulated material from the equip-
ment or for extraordinary maintenance operations.
The equipment is shipped with the inspection hatch(es) closed with a bolted device which needs to be un-

Depending on the use of the dust collector, the installer must use special signs to inform operators of the fol-
lowing residual risks:
1. Mechanical hazards. For maintenance activities, the operator must always use personal protection de-
vices. Special warning plates in the individual sections of the equipment indicate the compulsory personal
protection devices to be used:

2. Presence of possible residual high temperatures after the dust collector is stopped. During mainte-
nance and cleaning operations and in certain work sections, with the equipment stopped, the operator may
touch parts of the dust collector having very hot surfaces. Warning notices positioned at strategic points in-
dicate the danger due to the presence of very hot surfaces and the liability of the operator in using personal
protection devices, specially protective gloves.
USE OF

3.Presence of potentially hazardous dusts. In case of routine and extraordinary maintenance opera-
tions, the operator must use suitable personal protection devices, specially protective face masks
that belong to a Class suitable for the type of dust collector as well as gloves or clothing. For further
details, refer to the safety chart of the material handled.
