AREAS OF RESIDUAL RISK
Since all the process operations are automatic the machine has no residual risks; even when operating in
manual mode it is fully fitted with safety devices and guards.
However, despite the measures taken, a certain hazard level is inevitable if the functionality of the line is not
reduced.
Therefore, this section details a series of general criteria to identify the areas of " residual risk ".
THIS CATEGORY INCLUDES THE AREAS IN WHICH THE OPERATOR IS EXPOSED TO A RISK
OF DEATH, INJURY OR ACCIDENT IF THE DANGER SIGNS ARE IGNORED AND THE SAFETY
MEASURES DESCRIBED
IN SECTION 02 AND 2.6 ARE NOT APPLIED AND IF THE WORK IS NOT DONE WITH CAUTION.
1. The control panel area must be considered as one of residual risk because the operator cannot see the
entire machine from this area: Before sending a movement instruction the operator must ensure that no one
is working on the machine or close to it.
2. In addition the entire machine must be considered as a residual risk area due to the presence of electric
and pneumatic energy and high temperature parts.
3. For the same reasons the furnace area also presents a residual risk of burns.
4. The electrical cabinets are areas of residual risk because even when the cabinet doors are open and the
safety devices are activated, high voltage still passes through the terminals where the cabinet is connected to
the external network: if the operator touches these contacts they can die from electrocution.
5. The pressure accumulator (40bar) and both the high pressure (40 bar) and low pressure (10bar) lines are
under pressure when the machine is ready to start the blowing cycle. If an emergency stop is activated these
are emptied automatically.
Before performing any operation, the isolation valves must be closed and the 40bar and 10bar lines
depressurized through the respective valves, verifying that the pressure gauges indicate "0".
THE PRESSURE GAUGES SHOULD READ “0”

SAFETY DEVICES
3.4.1
GENERAL INFORMATION
The machine has a series of built-in protections for the operator or other people exposed to inherent or residual
risks and hazards during the normal work cycle.
There are two types of safety devices:
- Passive safety devices: These are those that prevent the operator contact moving parts of the machine or
entering hazardous areas when the machine is operating automatically. (e.g. protective shell, fixed screens,
etc.).
