Chapter 1 Safety regulations
6 SMSO-2-02.01- 15.07.03
Pressure container
Hydraulic systems in drinks machines may be under pressure.
Undoing such systems can result in severe personal injury or
material damage caused by the ejection of materials under
force, or by flying parts.
When carrying out any work to pressurised drums (as well as
to pipes and screw fittings) you should take care to do the
following:
Never open pressure containers.
Take suitable precautions (depressurise, serve products)
to ensure that these systems are depressurised before
maintenance work is carried out.
For this reason, you should disconnect pipes and con-
tainers only after the system has been carefully depres-
surised and/or vented. Wear suitable protective gear
when carrying out such work (goggles/gloves).
Spare parts
For all maintenance work use only original spare parts
obtained from the manufacturer of the machine.
Do not make any changes of your own (improvisations) to
the machine, especially not to those parts that are critical
to safety. If you make changes to parts that are critical to
safety the result could cause life-threatening accidents or
severe injury.
The use of unsuitable spare parts could lead to a loss of
guarantee.
Cut injuries
The sharp edges of the metal parts of the framing can
cause injuries. When working on the machine wear suit-
able clothing and work gloves.
Never reach into the bean container or touch the grinder
blade inside the grinder. The extremely sharp grinder
blades can cause severe personal injury.
Screw fittings
Many screw fittings can only function reliably when the
screws are tightened to the specified torques. For this
reason you should always ensure that you tighten such
fittings to the specified torque.
Always use suitable and checked torque testing tools and
ensure they are inspected at the prescribed intervals.
Sealing materials
The sealing material used in screw fittings may come into
contact with drinks or the ingredients for drinks. Unsuit-
able sealing material can affect the foodstuffs, or could be
destroyed by the drinks or by the ingredients.
For this reason only use sealing material that is permitted
for use in the food processing industry. Always comply
with the recommendations given in the product documen-
tation issued by the manufacturer concerned.
Corrosion resistance of materials
Various metals in contact with one another can decom-
pose electro-chemically under the effects of certain fluids.
This corrosion damage is not normally visible and can
cause unexpected openings and leaks , or the pressure
containers may burst. Severe injury or material damage
can be caused as a result.
Therefore, when carrying out maintenance work, please
only use materials that are appropriate for the system
concerned. Always follow the relevant assembly instruc-
tions when installing different types of metal.
