European foreword

This document (prEN 1034-4:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 198 Printing

and paper machinery - Safety”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1034-4:2005+A1:2009.

In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:

a) Throughout the document, clear differentiation between the different types of pulpers. The term

under machine pulper/ machine integrated pulper has been added (including schematic

representation). The term stand-alone pulper was introduced for differentiation.

b) In 5.5.1: Addition of a requirement regarding maximum distance between pulper wall and walkway

floor; addition of a requirement for means of access and walkways regarding use of corrosion

resistant materials.

c) The requirements for safety-relevant parts of control systems were supplemented and updated

throughout the document; in 5.11.3 Inclusion of a table with an overview of safety functions.

d) A new Clause 5.9 with requirements for the emptying of stand-alone pulpers and under machine

pulpers was added.

e) In 5.19 review of requirements on maintenance, inspection and cleaning requirements: as an

alternative to manholes (previously only required), provision for mounting systems for safe entry

and rescue systems (addition of an example of an entry/rescue system in Annex A), provision of a

separate system for transporting tools when entering the pulper, addition of measures to prevent

the occurrence of hazardous gases, such as appropriate openings, forced ventilation or ventilation

through trash discharge gates.

f) In Clause 7, information on maintenance, inspection and cleaning has been added.

g) Review of Annex ZA.

This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the

European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).

Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.

This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the

market players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);

— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.).

Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the

above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);

— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);

— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in the case of machinery intended for use by consumers)

The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting

process of this document.

The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events

are covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.

When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-

B standards or from provisions made in prEN 1034-1:2019, the requirements of this type-C standard

take precedence over the requirements of the other standards for machines that have been designed

and built according to the requirements of this type-C standard.

oSIST prEN 1034-4:2020
prEN 1034-4:2020 (E)
5 Safety requirements and/or measures
5.1 General

Machinery shall comply with the safety requirements and/or measures of this clause. In addition, the

machine shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100:2010 for relevant but not

significant hazards that are not dealt with by this document, e.g. avoidance of sharp edges.

5.2 Requirements for safety devices
5.2.1 The requirements of prEN 1034-1:2019, 5.1 shall be satisfied.

5.2.2 The instruction handbook shall contain instructions for checking the safety devices.

5.3 Power transmission elements

Safety devices for power transmission elements between the drive and rotor or drum of the pulper shall

be selected and designed as specified in prEN 1034-1:2019, 5.2.
5.4 Workplaces, access stairs, walkways, passageways

5.4.1 The requirements of 5.5 of prEN 1034-1:2019 and EN ISO 14122-1:2016, EN ISO 14122-2:2016,

EN ISO 14122-3:2016, EN ISO 14122-4:2016 as well as of 5.4.2, 5.4.3 and 5.6.4 shall be satisfied.

5.4.2 Stairs and walkways on drum pulpers shall be fitted in such a way that in-running nips between

these elements and the drum are avoided. The safety distances specified in prEN 1034-1:2019, 5.4 and

in prEN ISO 13857:2017, Table 2 shall be applied.

5.4.3 Where access is required to parts of the machine, but is prevented or made difficult by the

position of the loading facility, crossovers or passageways shall be provided so that access to the

loading facility is avoided.
5.5 Falling hazard on pulpers
5.5.1 General requirements:

By appropriate design, installation and, if necessary, additional measures against tripping or falling, it

shall be ensured that persons cannot fall into the pulper. Fall-off protections, e.g. at the pulp tank or at

the entry openings of drum pulper shall be at least 1,20 m high (measured from possible standing level)

and designed in such a way that climbing up and falling through are prevented.

The distance between the pulper wall and the stand area at the pulper shall not exceed 0,12 m in order

to prevent tripping or falling.

Corrosion-resistant material should be used for the construction of working platforms, walkways, stairs

and fall-off protections when exposed to moisture in order to prevent risks due to loss of strength of the

supporting elements as a result of expected excessive corrosion.
5.5.2 Danger of falling into stand-alone pulpers and under machine pulpers:

Persons are prevented from falling into the stand-alone pulper and machine integrated pulper, if:

— on stand-alone pulpers with a tank open at the top, the upper edge of the tank is at least 1,20 m

above standing level and the outer pulper walls are designed so that stepping up on them is not

possible. If the upper edge of the tank is lower, an additional fall-off protection shall be provided to

meet the requirements mentioned above, see;
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 1034-4:2020
prEN 1034-4:2020 (E)

— on closed or covered stand-alone pulpers with cover openings, these openings are closed by covers

and, with the cover in open position, are protected by fixed grilles designed so that persons cannot

fall through. Covers shall be provided with side handles as well as adequate means for securing

them in the open position to prevent unexpected or unintended sudden closing ;

— on stand-alone pulpers with side openings for manually feeding stock mixtures, dump equipment,

chutes or similar facilities are designed so that persons cannot climb onto them or fall through, for,

parts, the safety distances of prEN ISO 13857:2017, Table 2 and Table 4 shall be applied on stand-

alone pulpers with a mechanical loading facility, the charging opening is designed so that no

blockages of the loaded material can occur. This can be achieved by providing diverting bars

arranged at an appropriate distance in front of the charging opening; working platforms at the end

of the charging conveyor shall be designed so that there is no risk of falling onto the conveyor or

into the pulper;

— on stand-alone pulpers with an access door allowing whole-body access the door is to design to

open outwards and by means of a key access interlock or by interlocking (with or without guard

locking based on the actual stopping time) according to EN ISO 14119, so that the pulper is at stand

still or at hold to run function if the door is open;

— the safety related interlocking function shall meet at least EN ISO 13849-1:2015, PL d or

EN 62061:2005, SIL 2;

— the hold to run function if installed shall meet at least EN ISO 13849-1:2015, PL c or

EN 62061:2005, SIL 1;

— on stand-alone pulpers and under machine pulpers with manual or gravity loading (e.g. web

unwinding from a drum), the dimensions given in Figures 4 and 5 are adhered to;

— on stand-alone pulpers where the charging conveyor is regularly walked on for operational reasons

(e.g. for the removal of cores on machinery with reel splitting machines), protection against falling,

adjustable if required, is provided in front of the feeding opening and access to the conveyor is

safeguarded by an interlocking gate; the interlocking system shall be designed so that access is

possible only with the conveyor switched off and the protection against falling is in its safeguarding
