Operation
FUNCTION AND USE
The mixer should be only used by experienced persons who are trained, authorized and informed on the
residual risks and the precautions to be used to eliminate or minimize them. Mixers are no-manning machines;
operations, which may be required (using the controls, adding ingredients, picking sampling, etc.) can and
should be performed by a single operator at a time; never allow more than one man at a time to work at the
mixer. If so required in the contract, Omcan can provide the training (including practice) and the necessary
instructions (by the way, the same as in this manual) for the safe and proper use of the machine. The user
shall:
• Identify the persons to assign to the use of the mixer.
• Provide them with information and training (including practice) necessary, also in accordance with the laws
on safety and health in the workplace.
• Implement the necessary procedures to minimize exposure to possible residual risks resulting from the use
of the mixer.
PLEASE NOTE!
No person who is not qualified as described in this manual, should be allowed to work with and / or use
the machine. Omcan accepts no responsibility for damages/hazards to people, animals, things, directly or
indirectly resulting from non-compliance with the instructions in this manual.
GENERAL INFORMATION FOR NORMAL OPERATION
1. At the beginning of each day and / or shift check if the covers are undamaged and secured with all the
means available and if the safety devices of the machine are efficiently operating.
2. To load flour do not pour a whole bag at once into the bowl; start by making it lighter (extracting as much
flour as possible with a scoop), then put the bag on the bottom of the bowl, open the bag bottom and let
flour slowly and progressively out. Make sure to disperse as little flour dust as possible in the air; keep the
next bag a little inclined, with the opening close the existing flour bunch and pour by avoiding as much as
possible the dispersion of flour particles.
PLEASE NOTE!
It is very important that you reduce the weight of the flour bags before lifting and pouring. Mind the foregoing
instructions for pouring flour into the bowl. This can be a weary task and you should minimize the risk of hurting
your back and muscles. (Remember this is a frequent operation and handling lighter weight will save the risk of
injuries).
3. The provisions also apply to the filling of water into the bowl; pour a few litres at a time using only small
vessels. The best solution for safety purposes is obviously to make use of an automatic dosing of water.
4. For routine use of the machine, the operator must wear safety shoes with reinforced toes; no additional
PPE are required, unless instructed by the risk assessment procedure of the employer (remember that this
assessment is a requirement in the legislation in force in the European Community). For example, if the
above instructions were disregarded and full, heavy flour bags were loaded in the bowl, the operator and
all bystanders would be exposed to a lot of dust with a health risk from inhalation (rhinitis, asthma, excess
lacrimal secretions, etc.); In this case, the employer and operator would be entirely responsible for taking
all possible measures to eliminate or minimize any such risk to the safety and health of people, animals,
