Thermistor protection (TF contact)
For motors that are frequently started and stopped, intermittently operated, use a high
switching frequency or power controller, it is essential to use a motor protection relay and
thermistor protection. This is to avoid prematurely switching the motor protection relay or
overheating of the motor winding in these operational conditions.
Check continuously moving of products
It is necessary to check if the products are continuously moving during transport to the
infeed and outfeed position by means of time monitoring in the software. When the time is
exceeded, the machine must immediately stop to avoid damage.
Mechanical locking device
The machine is equiped with a mechanical locking device which protects the carrier from
falling down if the flat belts break or are being released. The mechanical locking device
must also be released in all other circumstances that personnel safety is at risk. This
device is installed for personnel safety and can not be used as fall protection during
operation. For detailed information about the safety valve that controls the release of the
mechanical locking device, refer to the manual of the supplier.

Potential risks
The machine is intended to be integrated into a transport system. Qimarox has attempted
to protect against as many hazards as possible. The following potential risks should be
addressed before machine and assembled parts are put into operation:
•
Risk of injury caused by falling products.
•
Risk of injury as a result of a moving carrier.
•
Hazards occurring at places where the machine connects to other parts of the
production line, such as feeding and discharge conveyors.
The interior of the machine can be accessed by removing the back covers or directly from
the front. Additional protection (fencing) is required at the feeding and discharge position.
If the machine is accessible from multiple levels, then protection measures should be
taken to avoid hazards. Please note that additional, local rules or laws may be applicable
and require you to take additional measures.
