Danger source

Consequences

Pneumatic seal on the
discharge slide gate

bottom of mix chamber

Danger of injury by moving parts!

Horizontally moving pneumatic cylinders can
cause crushing, impact and shearing injuries and
bone fractures.

Do not reach into the pneumatic discharge

slide gate during normal operation and during
manual operation.

The pneumatic discharge slide gate is not installed if a manual slide gate is installed and the unit is

mounted directly on the injection molding machine.
