SAFETY AND HANDLING (cont’d)
The PH Series Proportioner has been designed and built for the application of polyurea chemical
systems, polyurethane foam chemical systems and some two-component epoxy systems.
WARNING! The design and configuration of the PH Series Proportioner does not
allow its use in potentially explosive atmospheres or the pressure and
temperature limits described in the technical specifications of this manual to be
exceeded.
Always use liquids and solvents that are compatible with the unit. If in doubt, consult PMC Technical
Service.
When working with the PH Series Proportioner, it is recommended that the operator wear suitable
clothing and elements of personal protection, including, without limitation, gloves, protective goggles,
safety footwear and face masks. Use breathing equipment when working with the PH Series
Proportioner in enclosed spaces or in areas with insufficient ventilation. The introduction and follow-up
of safety measures must not be limited to those described in this manual. Before starting up the PH
Series Proportioner, a comprehensive analysis must be made of the risks derived from the products to
be dispensed, the type of application and the working environment.
To prevent possible injury caused by incorrect handling of the raw
materials and solvents used in the process, carefully read the Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)provided by your supplier.
Deal with the waste caused according to current regulations.
To avoid damage caused by the impact of pressurized fluids, do not open
any connection or perform maintenance work on components subject to
pressure until the pressure has been completely eliminated.
Use suitable protection when operating, maintaining or being present in
the area where the equipment is functioning. This includes, but is not
limited to, the use of protective goggles, gloves, shoes and safety clothing
and breathing equipment.
The equipment includes components that reach high temperatures and can
cause burns. Hot parts of the equipment must not be handled or touched
until they have cooled completely.
To prevent serious injury through crushing or amputation, do not work
with the equipment without the safety guards installed on the moving
parts. Make sure that all the safety guards are correctly reinstalled at the
end of the repair or maintenance work of the equipment
