7 Demolition
7.1 Machine life
The machine has been designed to work for 10 years in normal operating environments considering
proper use and correct maintenance.
7.2 Decommissioning and demolition
Once the machine has reached the end of its technical and operational life, it must be subjected
to a detailed and complete inspection/review by the manufacturer or specialised and qualified
technicians. If the test does not have a positive outcome, the equipment must be deactivated and
demolished. The machine must be reduced to conditions in which it can no longer be used for the
purposes for which it was designed and built. In addition, the raw materials used to make it must
be recovered for recycling purposes where possible.
Note : ALMAC S.r.l. declines all liability for damage to persons, animals or things deriving from
reuse of parts of the equipment for functions or assembly situations differing from the original
ones.
Danger : Machine decommissioning and demolition must be carried out only by properly trained
and equipped personnel.
The machine must be demolished following the adoption of safety measures that must take account
of the logistic, environmental and wear conditions of the machine itself.
Comply with the following general rules:
•
Wear approved protective clothing and accessories (hard-hat, safety footwear, gloves,
goggles and face mask if necessary) in accordance with the accident-prevention laws in
force;
•
Disconnect the machine from all power sources;
•
Check and, if necessary, relieve the pressure from pressurised systems;
•
Ensure that the machine is unable to operate and that it cannot be used, by breaking some
of its vital components and take it to a place where you are certain that it cannot be
accessed by anyone;
•
Use appropriate lifting devices;
•
Disassemble the machine into small, easily transportable units;
•
Separate non-polluting materials from polluting ones when disposing of the machine
(insulating materials, plastic, rubber, etc.);
•
Never burn the machine or parts of it because the combustion products of plastic materials
and paints could develop harmful, polluting gases.
