3.6 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND RECYCLING POLICY
Rammer products contribute to the recycling of materials to help customers achieve
their environmental objectives. During the manufacturing, all the necessary
precautions are taken to make sure that no harm is done to the environment.
Every effort is made to foresee and minimize the risks that might be associated with
the operation and maintenance of Rammer products, and which could pose danger
to humans or the environment. We support customers in their efforts to consider
environmental protection in their everyday work.
When working with a Rammer product, follow these guidelines:
■
Dispose of packaging materials properly. Wood and plastic can be burned or
recycled. Deliver the steel belts to a metal recycling center.
■
Protect the environment from oil spills.
In case of hydraulic oil leaks, the equipment should be serviced immediately.
Follow the product's greasing instructions and avoid excessive greasing.
Be careful when handling, storing and transporting oils.
Dispose of empty oil or grease containers appropriately.
Consult local authorities for detailed instructions.
■
All metal parts of the product can be recycled by delivering them to an
authorized scrap metal collection facility.
■
Comply with local waste classification rules when disposing of used rubber or
plastic parts (buffers, wear plates, seals).
■
When scrapping the whole product or pressure accumulator, consult your local
Rammer dealer for instructions on depressurizing the accumulator.
■
Do not take the product or accumulator to a scrap metal collection center
without depressurizing the accumulator first.
■
Dispose of batteries in accordance with applicable federal, state and local
regulations. As a safety precaution, properly insulate batteries for disposal.
Cover both terminals of the battery with tape, wrap the battery in an insulated
bag, or pack the battery in its original packaging in order to prevent ignition due
to short-circuit.
Consult with your local dealer for more information.
