MECHANICAL HAZARDS-2_RUBBER PROCESSING
MECHANICAL HAZARDS-2_RUBBER PROCESSING
- the closing speed;
- the number of moulds and amount of daylight;
- whether up-stroking or down-stroking;
- type of moulds (loose or fixed);
- mode of operation, in particular, if worked at one or both sides and the number of operators;
- the amount of body access between the moulds.
Many incidents happen during maintenance and tool changing and adequate controls against preventing falls due to gravity are important for down-stroking presses. These could include scotching or having a pilot operated check valve and counterbalance valve assembly in the hydraulic circuit. For further information on guarding requirements see:
- BS EN 289 Plastics and rubber machines — Presses — Safety requirements
- BS EN 201 Plastics and rubber machines - Injection Moulding Machines
