2-3 Safety Features
The granulators are equipped with safety features intended to protect personnel and the
granulator. DO NOT remove or tamper with such equipment.
Safety Features Fitted on Granulator
All moving drive parts, including the two pulleys and the belt, are contained in a guard,
which may only be removed using specific tools and cannot be fixed in the correct
position without special fastenings.
WARNING! Always make sure that the guard is in position before
starting the granulator!
The upper part of the cutting chamber is protected by the feed hopper, used to insert
material to be granulated, while the lower part is protected by the screen and screen
support. These components are fixed by a screw knob; unscrewing releases a safety
switch key (see figure below), which cuts off the electric supply to the motor and causes
the rotor to stop.
