IMPORTANT!
Always make sure nobody is in the hazard area of the wrapping arm when the machine is in-use.
The machine must not be operated by persons who do not know enough about how to safely operate
the machine, or by persons under the age of 16 years.
Dangerous Areas
Tanco Autowrap Ltd. has given the safety to the operator the highest priority, but it is still impossible to
secure oneself of every danger area on the machine. Therefore we have highlighted below some of the
dangers that can occur when using the 1400 Tanco Autowrap Bale Wrapper.
Impact of the Wrapping Arm
During the wrapping process the arm rotates with a speed of 30-35 revolutions per minute around the
bale. On the arm is mounted a Film dispenser unit with a plastic roll. The speed on this can give a per-
son serious injuries if one enters the working area of the wrapping arm. To reduce this danger we have
mounted an emergency stop device on the wrapping arm; this stops all movement when something
comes in the way of it. It is very important that this protection always works and that it should not
under any circumstances be disconnected.
Squeeze Danger Between the Main Frame & Wrapping Arm
As explained earlier, we have a wrapping arm with a Dispenser and a plastic roll. During every revolu-
tion the wrapping arm passes the main frame. Here there may occur a squeeze danger if a person
stands to close to the main frame when the wrapping arm passes. The distance between the main
frame and the wrapping arm is not large enough to give place for a person. Between the pre-stretcher
and the bottom frame there can also be a squeeze danger.
