Plastic strapping machine (also known as baler, strapping machine, strapping machine) is a mechanical device that uses strapping tape to strap products or packages, then tightens and combines the two ends by hot-melt bonding with a hot iron. The following are the safety and accident prevention measures for plastic strapping machines:
Operational safety
1. Familiarity with the equipment
- The strapping machine is generally composed of a frame, upper and lower supply mechanisms, a conveying device, a positioning device, a binding device and an electrical control system. Before operating the strapping machine, we must first be familiar with the functions and usage of each component, as well as the basic structure of the machine.
- The operator must be familiar with the structure, performance, function and usage of the strapping machine. During normal operation, pay attention to the safe operating procedures of the machine, and pay attention to the maintenance of the strapping machine, and regularly check and repair it.
2. Personal protection
- When operating the strapping machine, we should wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety helmets, goggles, earplugs, gloves, etc., and operate under safety conditions
- The operator should keep his hands dry and avoid being hurt by the claws or hooks.
3. Check the equipment
- Before using the strapping machine, check whether it is operating normally, whether it is loose, aged, broken, etc.
- The strapping machine should be placed stably, and special attention must be paid when operating the strapping machine to climb, tilt, and move.
- Check whether the electrical equipment, transmission parts, etc. on the strapping machine are normal and fault-free.
- Check whether the safety protection device on the strapping machine is effective
- Check whether the operating space is sufficient and whether there are any obstacles around the strapping machine.
3. Standard operation
- Do not touch the electrical parts of the machine and the electric heating steel sheet after turning on the power.
- The objects used by the strapping machine must be placed in a suitable position and fixed to ensure that they will not slide or fall.
- When operating the strapping machine, stay focused and avoid fatigue or distraction.
- The operation must be carried out according to the normal operating procedures, and there must be no abnormal operation such as too fast or too slow.
- The operator must not put any part of the body into the machine structure, especially the hands or feet, to avoid injury.
- During the packaging operation, do not put your head or hands into the ring of the strapping belt to avoid injury.
4. Parameter setting
- According to the size and weight of the product or goods, set the parameters of the strapping machine, such as the binding force, position, etc., to ensure that the parameters are set correctly to avoid unsatisfactory strapping results or damage to the product.
5. Operating environment
- The strapping machine is prohibited in corrosive and dusty environments.
- The environmental conditions for the use of the strapping machine should be: temperature -20~50℃, relative humidity <95%.
Accident prevention measures
1. Safety training
- All workers who use strapping machines must undergo professional training and assessment before they can operate the strapping machines to ensure that they have sufficient safety awareness and skills. Training in this area can be increased and regular inspections can be carried out
- Operators should understand the structure, performance, operation methods, common causes of failures and treatment measures of each strapping machine.
2. Equipment maintenance
- Regularly check various electrical equipment in the strapping machine, such as cables, plugs, switches and relays, to ensure their safety performance and normal operation.
- Regularly inspect, debug and maintain the physical components of the strapping machine, such as transmission devices, chains, shafts, etc., to ensure that their structure is stable, operation is smooth, and dangerous failures are prevented.
- Replace damaged or worn diaphragm wheels, solenoid valves, electrical components and other key components to ensure that the strapping machine operates normally and meets safety requirements. These can be specially inspected at a certain time during normal times
3. Emergency handling
- When operating the strapping machine, the operator should always pay attention to the surrounding environment and the operating object. If any abnormal situation is found, measures should be taken in time to maintain on-site safety.
- If a malfunction or abnormal situation occurs during the operation of the strapping machine, the machine should be stopped immediately and reported to the maintenance personnel for processing.
- If there is any personal injury or equipment damage, the work should be stopped immediately, and the injured and equipment should be handled in time, and on-site safety assessment and accident investigation should be carried out at the same time.
4. Post-management
- After the operation of the strapping machine is completed, the strapping machine should be cleaned and maintained immediately to ensure the restoration of its status and function.
- If there is a strapping machine that is no longer in use, professionals should be asked to reinforce and move it safely to avoid accidents caused by the strapping machine during transportation.
5. Other precautions
- When packing fragile items, please pay attention to adjusting the strapping force, which should not be too large. Items that leak liquid or dust should not be placed directly on the machine for packaging.
- The successfully bundled goods should be marked and recorded in time for easy management and tracking.
- After the operation is completed, the power supply of the strapping machine must be turned off in time and the strapping machine must be cleaned to avoid affecting the next use.
- When servicing and maintaining the strapping machine, ensure that the power supply is disconnected to prevent incorrect operation.
By following the above operating safety regulations and accident prevention measures, the safety risks during the operation of the plastic strapping machine can be minimized, ensuring the personal safety of the operator and the stable operation of the equipment.
