Spate cleaner TANKO-SF
As a result of the variety of practical applications and uses for the cleaning device, AWH CANNOT specify a noise level for the device under load, i.e. installed in the container and operating with cleaning fluid. For this reason, the manufacturer can provide the operating company with only some reference points and information as a precautionary measure which must be observed and integrated into its risk assessment.
CAUTION
Risk of hearing damage as a result of an increased noise level! The device emits a sound pressure level of L pA < 70 dB(A).
When the device is operated in a container, the sound level may exceed the maximum permitted exposure value of L EX,8h = 85 dB(A) and varies depending on the properties of the container in the plant and the existing operating conditions of the device. Hearing damage could be incurred as a result. The plant noise level must always be measured and documented by the operating company.
Keep the plant noise level within the legal range:
– Perform noise reduction measures (e.g. sound insulation).
– Delimit and mark the noise area (e.g. with mandatory sign “ Wear hearing protection ” ).
– Use effective hearing protection (e.g. ear muffs or ear plugs).
Comply with the technical health and safety rules (TRLV Lärm in Germany) relating to noise and vibration. State-of-the-art technology must be used to implement the measures to provide protection from exposure to noise based on the risk assessment. In this case, noise emissions must be prevented at source, or reduced as far as possible.
CAUTION
Insufficient lighting in the working environment! The device DOES NOT have illumination. Insufficient lighting when working on the device can cause accidents. There is a risk of minor or moderate injury. Make sure that there is sufficient and even lighting in all areas of the plant in which the devices is used when work is performed on the device. In Germany, the technical rules for workplaces (ASR A3.4) apply. An illumination level of 300 lx (lux) is recommended (maintenance value).
6.2 Functional Check / Trial Run
All the screw connections on the device are firmly tightened in the factory. Nevertheless, a trial run should be carried out to check that the device functions safely and reliably and that it is leak-tight once installed.
Do not operate the device unless it is in perfect condition. The container to be cleaned must be run empty and depressurized.
WARNING Persons in the container. A person may be struck by the jets from the cleaning head!
