Pinch Points
Do not place weights in precarious positions where they can be bumped and fall to the floor. For
large test weights (over 10 kg) the pneumatic lift system is recommended. The lift system
has a mechanical capture rod which will not allow the weights to “fall” out of the machine. When
the machine is in operation the lift system moves the weight downward somewhat quickly
creating an area where anything lying beneath could be crushed. The lift system has a safety
door that, when installed correctly and not tampered with, will prevent the lift from moving when
open. There are redundant internal firmware and mechanical hardware safeties in place in the
lift system.
Fumes from Materials
Please plan for unexpected issues to arise. Many polymers (PVC, PVF etc.) are well known for
giving off hazardous fumes at elevated temperatures. An exhaust system that removes fumes
from both the die exit and near the top of the barrel is strongly recommended. Consideration
should also be given to additives that may degrade or decompose at elevated test
temperatures.
Obligation of the operator to exercise due care
The
LMFI was designed and constructed taking into consideration a hazard analysis having
carefully adhering to the harmonised safety standards as well as further technical
specifications. Thus, the LMFI conforms to the state of the art technology and ensures a
maximum of safety.
In practical operation, this safety can, however, be achieved only if all necessary measures are
taken. The obligation of the plant operator to exercise due care includes planning these
measures and supervising their execution.
Especially, the operator has to ensure that:
1. The LMFI will be used only in accordance with the intended purpose.
2. The LMFI will be operated in a flawless, functionally efficient condition and that, in
particular, the functional efficiency of the safety devices will be checked at regular
intervals.
3. No modifications will be made to the component except by a Dynisco service person.
4. The necessary personal protective equipment for the operation, maintenance, and
service will be available and used by any personnel performing these functions.
