DECOMMISSIONING AND DEMOLITION
Any demolition of the machine must be entrusted to specialised and equipped
personnel. If the customer does not have suitable and sufficient personnel or
instrumentation to be able to carry out the demolition procedure in conditions of
absolute safety and in such a way as to guarantee the safety of the operators
refer to the technical personnel of the
TLM PACKAGING
DURING THE DEMOLITION OPERATIONS IT IS NECESSARY TO PAY PARTICULAR
CAUTION TO THE DISPOSAL OF THE COMPONENT.
FOR SOME TYPES OF MATERIAL IT WILL BE ESSENTIAL TO COMPLY WITH THE
LAWS CURRENTLY IN FORCE IN THE COUNTRY WHERE THE CUSTOMER LIVES.
BEFORE STARTING TO DISMANTLE THE MACHINE IT IS NECESSARY TO CREATE
ENOUGH SPACE AROUND IT TO ENSURE THAT ALL HANDLING AND MOVEMENT
CAN BE CARRIED OUT WITHOUT POSING A RISK TO THE PERSONNEL.
A number of phases that are fundamental before carrying out the demolition are:
Disconnecting all the electrical power and the pneumatic supplies;
Disconnecting the different components separating them as far a possible
by type of material.
It is necessary for example to separate the plastic parts that must be sorted
separately from all the rest in order to respect the current regulations. The same
thing happens to the electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic components, while for
most of the metal it is sufficient to subdivide between the steel parts and those in
other metals and alloys to send them correctly for recycling for casting.
BEAR IN MIND THAT SOME VERY LARGE AND HEAVY PARTS CAN ONLY BE
MOVED USING ADEQUATE HOISTING EQUIPMENT.
THE POSSIBLE FALL OF PARTS OR COMPONENTS DURING THE DEMOLITION
PHASES MAY POSE A SERIOUS RISK FOR THE OPERATORS.
