EN 12331:2003+A2:2010 (E) 4 0 Introduction #This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events are covered are indicated in the scope of this document. When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.$ 1 Scope 1.1 This European Standard specifies requirements for the design and manufacture of mincing machines
(see Figures 1 and 2) used in a stationary position. The machines covered by this standard are used for size reduction of fresh or frozen meat, meat products and fish by cutting in a set of cutting tools. Mincing machines for domestic uses are not included in this standard. Filling mincers are covered by
#EN 12463$ "Food processing machinery - Filling machines and auxiliary machines - Safety and hygiene requirements". This standard applies only to machines that are manufactured after the date of issue of this standard. Mincing machines in connection with using a hold to run foot switch are not covered by this standard. #This European Standard covers: mincing machines used in shops and preparation rooms; mincing machines used in kitchens where sausages are prepared; mincing machines used industrially; accessories. The extent to which hazards are covered, is indicated in this European Standard. For other hazards which are not covered by this European Standard, machinery should comply with EN ISO 12100 where applicable. This European Standard is not dealing with specific requirements for the control of mincing machines with foot switch.$ 1.2 This standard covers the following types: Mincing machine with tray, feed intake and pusher, diameter < 52 mm on feed intake (see Figure 5) Mincing machine with tray, feed intake, restrictor plate and pusher, diameter > 52 mm on feed intake (see Figure 6) Mincing machine with feed intake hopper and cover, screw conveyor, with1) or without mixing screw in feed intake hopper (see Figure 7) SIST EN 12331:2004+A2:2010

They will also have various safeguarding devices as examples in clause 5.

EN 12331:2003+A2:2010 (E) 6 1.3 Intended use The fresh or frozen meat, meat product or the fish is fed manually or by means of the loading device into the mincing machine. The product is fed to the worm either by means of a pusher or a screw conveyor and size reduced in the set of cutting tools. It is not intended that mincing machines are cleaned with pressurized water. However, it is to be foreseen that it is difficult to guarantee that this method will never be used in practice. In order to deal with this eventuality, the requirements of 5.3.3.2 should apply. #This European Standard specifies all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to mincing machines, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). This European Standard specifies the hazards which can arise during commissioning, operation, cleaning, use, maintenance and decommissioning of the machine.$ SIST EN 12331:2004+A2:2010

On mincing machines with a feed intake with diameter > 52 mm, a restrictor plate shall be provided. #Mounting of a fixed restrictor plate shall be in accordance with 3.25.1 of EN ISO 12100-1:2003 (see also 3.2 and 6.4.2 of
EN 953:1997).$ If the restrictor plate is removable, it shall be provided with an interlocking device. Openings in the restrictor plate shall have a diameter ≤ 52 mm. #The interlocking system of the removable restrictor plate shall comply with 5.2.1 and the safety-related parts of the control system shall present at least a Performance Level “d” defined with a MTTFd “high” in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1:2008.$ The dimensions and arrangement of the restrictor plate shall be in accordance with Figures 6a and 6b. When the mincing machine is running empty, the worm shall come to a standstill within 2 s after removal of, in one case the removable tray, or in the other case, the removable restrictor plate. The distance H (tray to lower edge of restrictor plate) shall be ≤ 40 mm based on an assumed metacarpus diameter of 40 mm.
The projection Ü (outer edge of restrictor plate to feed intake edge) shall be ≥ 40 mm (see Figure 6a). The safety distance L1 results from the dimension L = 230 mm (length of hand to wrist) + dimension x. Dimension x results from dimensions Ü (projection), distance H1 (tray to lower edge of restrictor plate) and F ∅ (feed intake diameter) with an assumed forearm and wrist diameter of 40 mm.
Distance H1 (tray to lower edge of restrictor plate) shall be ≤ 120 mm, and projection Ü (outer edge of restrictor plate to feed intake edge) shall be ≥ 40 mm (see Figure 6b). SIST EN 12331:2004+A2:2010
