Sources of danger on the labeler
Fig. 2-1: Sources of danger on the standard labeler (LH)
The following assemblies pose a risk of crushing and being drawing in:
Drive unit (label feed)
Unwinder, rewinder
Application (between peeler plate and product)
The rollers of the drive unit rotate in opposite directions, so that objects may be caught
and pulled between the rollers. Sheet metal covers provide an effective protection against
accidental injury to the user.
With a motor-driven unwinder and rewinder, objects can be detected. The round shape
and reduced gap dimensions also reduce the danger potential. In the swivel range of the
dancer arms there is a low risk of crushing between the moving and rigid machine parts.
Risk of crushing during the product feeding between the product and dispenser. Additional
protective measures are necessary depending on the condition of the conveying technol-
ogy and the conveyed products.
All hazards present a risk of injury to persons, but are considered low (usually reversible).
The danger zones are identical for all variants (RH/LH) of the labeler.
