SCRAPPING AND DISPOSAL
If the machine described in this manual is no longer to be used because it is obsolete and/or has
suffered an irreparable breakdown or is worn to the point at which its repair would not be cost-effective, it
must be decommissioned to make it inoperative and remove all potential hazards
.
Decommissioning must be carried out by
specialized and suitably equipped personnel with at least
the professional skills of maintenance technicians.
If the customer does not have suitable personnel or equipment to scrap the machine in conditions of
absolute safety, and in such a way as to ensure the safety of operators, he must enlist the assistance of
the technical personnel of the manufacturer (see chapter 10).
Before starting the
scrapping procedures
, display signs informing persons in the area that work is in
progress.
8.1. SCRAPPING
In order to carry out the work in 100% safe conditions, the
areas around the machine
(within a radius
of 360° and for a distance of at least 2000mm) must be free of partitions/walls, other machines,
equipment, or any other obstructions such as pillars.
The main sequential stages
for dismantling and scrapping include (the list is just a guideline and is not
comprehensive): the disassembly of all the components, and their delivery to an authority or company
for differentiated waste collection in compliance with statutory legislation
All disconnection operations must be performed using
adequate tools and equipment of suitable size
(e.g. slotted screwdriver or crosshead screwdriver, hex wrenches, Allen wrenches, etc.), depending on
the type of screws.
During the disassembly procedures
do not go under or climb onto the machine under any
circumstances: always stand alongside the machine.
Before disassembling parts and/or disconnecting and/or loosening any joining elements,
take
steps to ensure that the connected parts cannot subsequently fall onto you.
To do this, use the necessary supports, restraints, or type-approved and certified lifting devices
in compliance with statutory legislation in force in your country.
Never attempt to disassemble the machine unaided; always
enlist the assistance of
someone to help
with the operations and/or provide assistance in the event of accidents. This person must possess at
least the minimum professional skills of a maintenance technician, as defined in paragraph 6.1. Take
particular care over
any labels affixed
directly on the components to be disconnected and near clamps
When the machine has been fully dismantled,
all the identification plates and documents referring to
the machine must be destroyed.
