Chapter 2. Safety
PELLERIN MILNOR CORPORATION
2.2.2.6. Safety Procecures if the Tunnel Must be Entered and/or Exited from the
Discharge End
1. For a Milnor
®
Press—Place the bell and the pre-press tamper full down. Turn the air off
and actually disconnect the air line to the press so, even if the air line shut-off valve should
leak, there is no chance of the tamper rising without warning.
2. For a single Milnor
®
Centrifugal Extractor—Tilt the cylinder full up, and install the
factory-supplied safety stands securely so the cylinder cannot come down.
3. For a Milnor
®
COBUK Conveyor—Move the conveyor well away from the tunnel.
4. For any non-Milnor
®
Device—Use good judgment, and follow the manufacturer's
recommendations.
After completing the above procedures, completely disable electrical service to the device as
previously explained.
2.2.3. Electric Welding Inside the Tunnel
1. Because safety regulations vary at different localities, it is solely the responsibility of the
owner/user to establish safe working procedures by using good common sense and by
adhering to all safety standards and regulations.
2. There must be absolutely no water or goods in the cylinder to be welded. The inside of the
cylinder must be completely dry and absolutely empty of all goods and water. The welder
must not stand in water or on wet goods.
a. If the tunnel is modular in design, it is best to separate the modules.
b. If the tunnel has multiple modules welded together, it is absolutely necessary to remove
the top before sending a welder inside.
3. The cylinder to be welded must be securely grounded to the grounding point on the
welding machine.
4. The welder must wear dry, non-conducting protective clothing and shoes.
5. Adequate ventilation is an absolute necessity.

washer-extractors and CBW

tunnel washers use stainless steel with the AISI 304
specification. This material gives good performance when chemical supplies are correctly
applied. If chemical supplies are incorrectly applied, this material can be damaged. The damage
can be very bad and it can occur quickly.
Chemical supply companies usually:
• supply chemical pump systems that put the supplies in the machine,
• connect the chemical pump system to the machine,
• write wash formulas that control the chemical concentrations.
