3.2 Safety system
Since there are rotating knives inside the granulator, there is a built-in safety
system to prevent personal injury.
Emergency stop: The equipment is fitted with an emergency stop switch on the
electrical cabinet. The emergency stop is activated by pushing the button. It is
reset by turning the button in the direction of the arrow (anti-clockwise).
Safety switches: The safety system includes 2 safety switches. The switches are
located as follows:
• 1 by the hopper
• 1 by the screenbox
The system is designed so that you have to unscrew the break screw by the
screenbox to be able to open it. The break screw actuates the safety switch,
which cuts off the power so that the rotor stops before the screenbox can be
opened.
The hopper must be lowered and locked before the granulator can be operated.
The safety switch has been installed so that it is not possible to start the
granulator when the hopper is open.
