Preface C:
GENIUS Compact General & Mechanical Safety
General Safety:
To ensure the safety of all users: operators, cleaning and maintenance personnel, it is important that all
safety measures the GENIUS Compact Sorter has been equipped with (such as Emergency buttons,
fi xed or removable guards, safety switches, warnings signs, etc...) are present and functioning. Never
tamper with any of these safety measures.
Emergency buttons should be pushed immediately whenever something may be going wrong, either
with the installation, or with one of the workers nearby. When the machine is stopped this way, it can not
accidentally be restarted, but must be started with a deliberate sequence of actions (see chapter 4).
It is generally advisable to give access to the machine only to those people who are aware of all safety
risks involved and are trained to operate such machinery.
It is recommended to always wear protective clothing when entering a production area and always take
all hygienic guidelines and rules into account.
Mechanical Safety:
A number of simple rules should be taken into account when working with the GENIUS Compact sorter
installation:
- Always check everyone is at a safe distance before switching on the detection belt, the infeed shaker
and/or the return system(s).
- Verify that no loose objects are lying on the detection belt, infeed shaker and/or return system.
- Before switching on any part of the sorter installation, make sure nobody is working on, in or under any
part of the machinery, including infeed shaker and return system.
- Never touch, or put objects on the detection belt, the infeed shaker or the return system when these
are functioning.
- When working with or near the sorter unit, never wear loose clothing or other loose attire that might
get caught between any belt and drive drums or return axles or could wind itself round rotating objects,
such as background drums, etc... .
All maintenance and cleaning activities (see chapters 6 & 7) should be performed with the machine
switched off, except if specifi cally indicated otherwise.
When in doubt, or when special and complicated procedures are required, please do not hesitate to
contact BESTnv for advice or to arrange a visit by an experienced service engineer.
