DANGEROUS AREAS.
Tanco Autowrap Ltd 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 Tanco autowrap bale wrapper.
1.
IMPACT 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 is mounted a Film dispenser unit with a plastic roll. The speed
on this can give a person serious injuries if one enters 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 when something comes in the way of it.
It is very important
that this protection always works and that it should not under any circumstances be
disconnected.
(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 Dispenser and a plastic roll. During
every revolution the 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 pre-stretcher and the bottom frame there can also be a squeeze
danger.
3.
SQUEEZE-DANGER BETWEEN THE STATIONARY AND 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).
4.
SQUEEZE DANGER BETWEEN THE ROLLERS AND THE MAIN FRAME.
During the wrapping process the bale rotates on two rollers. When the rollers are in motion
there is a danger of being squeezed.
5.
SQUEEZE DANGER BETWEEN ROLLER ARMS AND MAIN FRAME, INWARDS.
When loading a new bale, the roller arms move towards the main frame, Beware of the
danger.
Keep clear of this area
