The following safety measures shall always be followed when handling the granu-
lator:
Safety instructions and safety measures during operation
• At least one emergency stop shall always be within reach of the
operator.
• It shall not be possible to start the granulator until the hopper and the
door to the cutter house are properly closed.
• The granulator must not be used without the granule bin.
The granule bin is part of the safety devices on the granulator.
The granule bin must always be installed during operation.
• Flammable material or material which is contaminated by flammable
substances/liquids may not be processed in the granulator.
Serious risk of fire or explosion.
• Never remove the protective grids or pipes connected to the outfeed,
granule bin or blower.
• Never remove the flaps from hopper.
Blowers
• Conair’s blowers are intended for dust- and material conveying.
The temperature of the conveyed material must never exceed 80°C.
• It is not permitted to use the blowers in humid environments,
unprotected outdoors, in explosive atmospheres or in surroundings
where the temperature exceeds 40°C or goes below -20°C.
• Conair’s blowers have very high suction power.
WARNING! Objects and clothing can easily be sucked in to the blower
inlet and cause personal injury.
The blowers must therefore never be used with an unprotected inlet opening.
• The stream of air from the discharge opening is very powerful.
WARNING! Granulate and objects which have been sucked in to the
blower, will be thrown out at very high speed and can cause personal injury.
Never put the hand directly in front of the blower discharge opening.
Granulator with band conveyor
• Observe care so that conveyor band with dogs do not grip clothings, or
arms and feet.
• If the belt conveyor is used for hot plastic waste:
Ensure that the hot plastic waste is deposited on the middle of the band,
ie, uneven heating of the band could cause it to run askew.
Granulator with roll feeder
• There must always be a gap between the feed rolls.
There must never be metallic contact between the feed rolls.
