5 System dismantling and disposal
5.1 Important safety precautions
5.1.1 Dismantling
Dismantling of the FlexLink conveyor system should be carried out by com-
petent persons, who are familiar with the equipment being decommis-
sioned.
In the absence of detailed information, every care should be taken to en-
sure that all items are securely retained during the decommissioning pro-
cess. This is to ensure that the equipment remains stable and will not fall
if left unattended.
If pneumatics or hydraulics are to be decommissioned, special attention
should be given for the safe release of any accumulated pressure from
within the circuitry. All reservoirs/accumulators must be depressurised pri-
or to removal.
If there are any doubts as to the most suitable procedure for decommis-
sioning, then consult the equipment supplier.
5.1.2 Conveyor system X85
To dismantle a FlexLink conveyor the following tools are required.
1 Remove any remaining product from the conveyor system.
2 Switch off all electrical power and disconnect all pneumatic and
hydraulic feeds, including accumulators. Ensure that system is
safe by shutting down all feed supplies or removing electrical
fuses.
