DANGEROUS AREAS.
TELLEFSDAL A.S 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 will now go through some of the
dangers that can occur when using the Auto Wrap balewrapper.
1.
PUNCH OF THE WRAPPING ARM.
During the wrapping process the arm rotates with a speed of 20-27 revolutions per minute
around the bale. On the arm there is mounted a prestretcher unit with a plastic roll. The
speed on this can give a person serious injuries if one comes to close to 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 instantly when someone comes in the way of
it.
It is very important that this protection always works and that it should not under
any circumstances be unconnected.
(See more about the emergency stop* in chapter 5.0).
2.
SQUEEZE-DANGER BETWEEN THE MAIN FRAME AND THE WRAPPING ARM.
As earlier explained, we have a wrapping arm with a prestretcher and a plastic roll. Once
every time around this 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 prestretcher and the bottom frame there can also be
a squeeze danger.
To protect the user from this there is mounted a protection guard on the right hand side of
the machine. You lift this up and turn it out on the side of the machine when operating the
baler. You put it in transport position by lifting it up and turning it into the frame. (Fig. 2-1).
The guard must not under any circumstances be removed, and if damaged it must be
repaired before the machine is used again.
3.
SQUEEZE-DANGER BETWEEN THE STATIONARY AND THE 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. 2-2).
