A link with different load points requires the device to be dimensioned largely enough to carry the sum of all
courses.
This is particularly important when the transported material tends to harden or get compacted if not
handled for a certain period of time.
The fitting of the inlets/outlets can be carried out in several manners.
However, the installer or the plant fitter have to ensure, using the suitable means, that no person remains
harmed, not even accidentally.
Important
If one or more inspection hatches have been provided, provide a safety device meant to immediately
shut down the Lump Breaking Feeder Valve in case the hatch is opened or removed.
The
installer/plant fitter and whomever operates the device must not:
- start it up unless fastened to the silo/recipient/tube from which it is fed the material and the rest of the plant
(complete installation);
- must provide all safety systems meant to avoid damages to things or harm to persons.
- material is not made available
Operators must also ensure that the above points are in order.
6.3 Shutting down the device
EMERGENCY SHUT-DOWN
There has to be provided at least one emergency stop.
The emergency stop has to be used only in case of danger conditions and therefore the equipment must be
immediately shut down.
RESTART AFTER AN EMERGENCY STOP
Prior to restoring the operation after an emergency stop, it is necessary to:
- Remove the problem that caused the emergency stop;
- Unblock the emergency buttons which are of mechanical hold-in type;
- Push the reset button;
- Repeat the start up procedure.
