Improper use of
SC
blowers and exhausters can cause serious injuries.
Danger is due to:
-
Suction: side channel blowers and exhausters have a very high suction power. Objects, clothing
and hair can be easily sucked into the fan and cause injuries.
-
Discharge side: there is a very powerful stream of air from the discharge side. Foreign objects,
which might have been sucked into the fan, can be expelled at high speed and cause injuries.
-
Temperature: when the machine operates the temperature of the housing can exceed 100°C. The
machine has to be protected from any contact in order to avoid burns.
-
Rotating parts
-
Over-pressure and vacuum
-
Motor fan
-
Defective or missing silencers
In case of failure, check that all protection and safety devices are functioning and activated, disconnect the
electric power supply and inform the plat personnel responsible for operation.
