Abschnitt 4.5 - Area between material to be conveyed and superstructure on the transfer car
According to → DIN EN 349 "Safety of machinery/Minimum gaps to avoid crushing of parts of the human body" the distance between the material to be conveyed and the superstructure on the transfer car has be at least 500 mm (picture 4).
The total dimension of at least 500 mm is calculated from both partial distances
- a:
front edge of conveyor up to corrugated board stack
and
- b:
front edge of conveyor up to superstructure on the transfer car respectively corrugated board stack on the transfer car.
The following holds: a + b ≥ 500 mm
Ideally all spaces between the conveyors are lined with filling plates. Thus, tripping areas can be defused.
In any case this minimum distance has to be adhered to. Thus it is necessary to move back the corrugated board stack from the front edge of the conveyor and, if necessary, to intend the superstructures on the transfer car.
