Warning and Safety Reminders for Screw and Bucket Elevator Conveyors

It is the responsibility of the contractor, installer, owner and user to install, maintain and operate the conveyor. In order to avoid an unsafe or hazardous condition, the assembles or parts must be installed and operated in accordance with the following minimum provisions:

 

1.    Conveyors shall not be operated unless all covers and/or guards for the conveyor and drive unit are in place. If the conveyor is to be opened for inspection cleaning, maintenance or observation, the electric power to the motor driving the conveyor must be locked out in such a manner that the conveyor cannot be restarted by anyone; however remote from the area, until conveyor cover or guards and drive guards have been properly replaced.

 

2.    Feed openings for shovel, front loaders or other manual or mechanical equipment shall be constructed in such a way that the conveyor opening is cover by a grating. If the nature of the material is such that a grating cannot be used, then the exposed section of the conveyor is to be guarded by a railing or fence and there shall be a warning sign posted.

 

3.    Do not attempt any maintenance or repairs of the conveyor until power has been locked out.

 

4.    Always operate conveyor in accordance with these instructions and those contained on the caution labels affixed to the equipment.

 

5.    Do not place hands, feet, or any part of your body, in the conveyor.

 

6.    Never walk on conveyor covers, grating or guards.

 

7.    Do not use conveyor for any purpose other than that for which it was intended.

 

8.    Do not poke or prod material into the conveyor with a bar or stick inserted through the openings.

 

9.    Keep area around conveyor drive and control station free of debris and obstacles.

 

10.    Eliminate all sources of stored energy (materials or devices that could cause conveyor components to move without power applied) before opening the conveyor.

 

11.    Do not attempt to clear a jammed conveyor until power has been locked out.

 

12.    Do not attempt field modification of conveyor or components.

 

13.    Conveyors are not normally manufactured or designed to handle materials that are hazardous to personnel. These materials which are hazardous include those that are explosive, flammable, toxic or otherwise dangerous to personnel. Conveyors may be designed to handle these materials. Conveyors are not manufactured or designed to comply with local, state or federal codes for unfired pressure vessels. If hazardous materials are to be conveyed or if the conveyor is to be subjected to internal or external pressure, manufacturer should be consulted prior to any modifications.
