Squeeze Danger Between the Stationary Arm & Wrapping Arm
During the main wrapping process the wrapping arm moves around a stationary arm. Every
time the wrapping arm passes the stationary arm there is a squeeze danger that can be
dangerous for the fingers. The distance between the stationary and the wrapping arm is
between 25-40 mm. (See Fig. 2).
Impact of Bale Squeeze Arm
During the bale loading process the bale squeeze arm moves both vertically and horizontally, beware of
the danger and keep clear of this area whilst the machine is running.
Impact Danger when Machine is being changed from Transport to Working Position at the Drawbar
When the machine is being changed from transport to the working position it rotates out to the right
and when it is being put back into transport it rotates back to the left, beware of the danger and keep
clear of this area whilst the machine is running; especially if the squeeze arm is in the open position.
Squeeze Danger Caused by Plastic Automation
At the end of the wrapping process the plastic is cut and held tight until the start of the next
wrapping process. When the cutter arm moves down to lock the plastic, there can occur a
squeeze danger between the cutter arm and the cutter holder. The cutter blade that cuts the
plastic is very sharp; ensure to keep hands away from the cutter. (See Fig.2).
