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
