Safety Considerations
Sterling granulators are designed to provide safe and
reliable operation when installed and operated within
design specifications, following national and local safety
codes.
To avoid possible personal injury or equipment damage
when installing, operating, or maintaining this granulator,
use good judgment and follow these safe practices:
LEARN AND OBEY your company’s safety policy
regarding granulating equipment.
MOVING OR LIFTING THE GRANULATOR:
Although our equipment is built and engineered for
great ruggedness in operation, care must be taken when
moving the machine along the floor or lifting it.
Damage may occur to sheet metal covers, electrical
cabinets, or small brackets if pressure is applied to
them when moving the granulator. When lifting the
granulator, be certain of total machine weight and the
capability of the lifting equipment (see the Granulator
Specification Sheets for machine weights and
dimensions).
GRANULATOR LOCATION: Adequate area for
routine maintenance should be provided in order to
open the machine for knife, screen, or cleanout service.
Proper service area clearances also should allow
people who are working on the machine to be clearly
visible to others, thereby reducing the potential safety
hazards.
SAFE HOUSEKEEPING: The work area must be
kept clean and uncluttered to allow personnel safe
movement around the granulator during periods of
operation or maintenance. No hand tools or other
metal objects should be left on or about the machine.
Any tools or other metal objects which mistakenly fall
into the hopper feed opening can cause severe damage
