Gravimetric Batch Blenders w/Mitsubishi Control   Chapter 2:  Functional Description 

25 

 

 

This section includes information on safety devices and procedures that are inherent to the 
Gravimetric Batch Blender. This manual is not intended to supersede or alter safety standards 
established by the user of this equipment. Instead, the material contained in this section is 
recommended to supplement these procedures in order to provide a safer working 
environment. 

At the completion of this section, the operator and maintenance personnel will be able to do 
the following: 

•  Identify and locate specific safety devices. 
•  Understand the proper use of the safety devices provided. 
•  Describe the function of the safety device. 

Safety Circuit Standards 
Safety circuits used in industrial systems protect the operator and maintenance personnel 
from dangerous energy. They also provide a means of locking out or isolating the energy for 
servicing equipment. 

Various agencies have contributed to the establishment of safety standards that apply to the 
design and manufacture of automated equipment. The Occupational Safety and Health 
Administration (OSHA) and the Joint Industrial council (JIC) are just a few of the 
organizations that have joined with the plastics industry to develop safety standards. 

Every effort has been made to incorporate these standards into the design of the Slide 
Gate/Auger Blender; however, it is the responsibility of the personnel operating and 
maintaining the equipment to familiarize themselves with the safety procedures and the 
proper use of any safety devices.
