NOTE 2 In general, the mixing machinery consists of a cabinet (as framework) with several shelves on which the mixing places are arranged. The number of shelves and mixing places depend on the volume of the container. The mixing places could be occupied by container of standardized mixing coating materials with a capacity between 1 l and 10 l. The container is closed by a stirring lid. The stirring lids generally consist of a unit with stirrer, lid and drive (e.g. clamp or rack-wheel) which are put on the open container of the coating materials. The lids are fixed by the pressing and turning of fixing clamps and ensure mixing process only in totally closed container. The stirrer can be powered e.g. via a clamp drive by a motor powered special shaft or via belt or worm drive. In general this is an electric motor, but also air driven motors are used, especially for installations in hazardous explosive environments. Furthermore the mixing machinery is equipped with a control unit with programmable timer controlling the mixing time (in most cases several times a day) of the closed stirring container. By fitting the side cowling moving parts of the power drive can be protected. Another standard equipment of mixing cabinets are drip trays for the coating materials. If necessary, the mixing machinery is equipped with lighting. 3.2 container vessel without pressure used for mixing and/or storage of coating and/or auxiliary materials 3.3 agitator device which is used to stir or otherwise to move the coating material



EN 12757-1:2005 (E) 8 NOTE Such device is generally used in conjunction with coating material containers. Such devices may be driven by a power supply and may have a shaft with a stirrer inside a container. The cover of this container may be an integrated part of the stirrer. 3.4 stirrer part of the agitator which is immersed into the liquid coating material NOTE Depending on the characteristics of the coating material, different types of stirrer may be used such as, but not limited to, discs, rods, twirling sticks, paddles (blades), propellers, impellers etc. 3.5 vibrator, shaker device for mixing by mechanical movement of the liquid coating material container 3.6 hoses flexible conduits intended for the transport of coating and/or auxiliary materials and compressed air, when connected together 3.7 pipes rigid conduits intended for the transport of coating and/or auxiliary materials and compressed air, when connected together 3.8 safety device device to fulfil a safety function when in use and the failure or malfunctioning of which endangers the safety or health of persons 3.9 coating material organic product in liquid or in paste (semi-solid) form (see 1.9 of EN 971-1:1996) NOTE 1 Such coating materials may consist of binding agents, pigments, fillers, solvents and other additives.

Where this is not possible, exposed moving parts shall be protected by fixed guards, permanent enclosures or interlocking guards in accordance with EN 953 and EN 1088. Fixed guards or permanent enclosures shall only be removable with a tool. Agitators, the stirrers of which can be moved out of the movable containers, shall be equipped with an interlocking device (see 3.26.1 of EN ISO 12100-1:2003) according category 3 of EN 954-1 and shall be designed in such a way that they can only be switched on if the stirrer is inside the container. If, for operational reasons, any of the above requirements cannot be fulfilled, specific measures to ensure safe operation of the mixing machinery shall be provided such as, but not limited to:  lockable actuator;  trip device;  slip clutch;  shear pin;  special design of the stirrers;  torque limiters. The coating material container shall be secured against rotating during the stirring operation by either a firm stand or a fixing device for the container.



EN 12757-1:2005 (E) 14 Access to parts that require adjustment, setting of controls or sensors (e.g. to vibrators or shakers with power actuated fixing device for the coating material container) shall be prevented by fence-type enclosure or be safeguarded in a way resulting in the same level of safety. For fence-type enclosures, the safety distances according to EN 294 apply. Guards shall satisfy the requirements of EN 953. 5.2.2 Safety measures against hazards generated by ejection of materials 5.2.2.1 Mixing machinery and its components shall be designed and constructed in such a way that no hazardous ejection of coating materials may result from leakages or component failures in normal operation and maintenance. The requirements shall be fulfilled by:  adequate design of all parts under pressure;  guards and protection according to EN 953. Components shall be designed and constructed for the maximum pressure they could be subjected to, also taking into account faulty conditions. Where a pressure system is composed of interconnected pressure vessels it shall be classified in the highest category according to the Pressure Equipment Directive applicable for the individual pressure vessel. Where a pressure vessel contains several fluids, classification shall be on the basis of the fluid which requires the highest category. Mixing machines shall be equipped with an exhaust device for safe dumping of residual pressure (e.g. valve with deflection). Pressure shall not be dumped by e.g. disconnection of a pipe or hose or opening a draining valve. If equipped with a draining valve, opening of the draining valve shall only be possible by using a tool and in depressurised condition. Safety devices shall be designed and p
