Food processing machinery - Automatic dough dividers - Safety and hygiene requirements

EN 12042 applies to the design and manufacture of standalone automatic dough dividers, having a feed hopper, an outlet and a dividing system (see 3.2). These automatic dough dividers are used separately or in a line in the food industry and shops (pastry-making, bakeries, confectionery, etc.) for dividing dough or pastry into adjustable portions to produce the required weight of dough piece during a dividing process. These machines can be fed by hand or mechanically. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the transport, installation, adjustment, operation, cleaning, maintenance, dismantling, disassembling and scrapping of automatic dough dividers, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). These machines are not intended to be cleaned with pressurized water. These machines are not intended to be cleaned with pressurized water. This European Standard is not applicable to the following: - experimental and testing machines, under development by the manufacturer; - weighing devices; - pressure dough dividers, without a feed hopper, using knives for the dividing process; - lines with separate cutting or forming elements outside the housing; - lifting and tilting machines1) or other separate feeding machines; - additional hazards generated when the machine is used in a line or mechanically fed. A noise test code is included in Annex A to assist manufacturers to measure noise levels for the purpose of the noise emission declaration. This European Standard is not applicable to machines which are manufactured before its publication as EN.

Ti stroji se ne čistijo z vodo pod pritiskom. Ti stroji se ne čistijo z vodo pod pritiskom. Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za: - eksperimentalne in preskusne stroje, ki jih razvija proizvajalec; - naprave za tehtanje; - delilnike testa, ki delujejo na pritisk, nimajo lijaka in za deljenje testa uporabljajo nože; - proizvodne linije z ločenimi elementi za rezanje in oblikovanje testa zunaj ohišja; - naprave za dvigovanje in nagibanje1) ali druge ločene naprave za polnjenje; - dodatna tveganja, ki nastanejo, ko se stroj uporablja v okviru proizvodne linije ali ko se polni mehansko. Oznaka preskusa hrupa je vključena v dodatku A za pomoč proizvajalcem pri meritvah nivoja hrupa za namene deklaracije o emisijah hrupa.

EN 12042:2014 (E) 12 5.2 Mechanical hazards 5.2.1 General Guards shall comply with EN 953:1997+A1:2009. Where reference is made to interlocking devices throughout Clause 5, they can be interlocked without guard locking and shall comply with EN 1088:1995+A2:2008, Clause 5 and Clause 6. Where the interlocking mechanism has movable parts, e.g. position switches, these shall be protected from contamination by dough or dry ingredients, e.g. by mounting them within the machine body. The safety related parts of the control systems shall present at least a performance level d defined in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1:2008. 5.2.2 Zone 1: Access to the dividing zone or feeding assistance device zone if any, via the hopper 5.2.2.1 General The safeguarding objective is to prevent contact by the operator (or other person) reaching down the hopper and coming into contact and being injured in the danger zone which is the cutting/crushing zone of the dividing device. When a working platform is provided by the manufacturer according to 5.9, it shall comply with EN ISO 14122-2 and the working platform, or the access to it, shall be interlocked to stop the machine if the vertical distance between the flooring of the platform and the edge of the hopper is less than or equal to 1100 mm. In that case, the interlocking may be realized, e.g. by: — use of a pressure sensitive mat or floor according to EN ISO 13856-1, or — use of an AOPD to prevent access to the working platform, or — use of an interlocked guard. 5.2.2.2 Feeding — Safeguarding at the hopper 5.2.2.2.1 General Access via the hopper opening to the danger zone shall be prevented while the machine is in operation. The access to the danger zones in the feed intake hopper may be restricted or prevented by example with one of the following: — a pressure sensitive edge (see 5.2.2.2.2 and Figure 4); — an AOPD (see 5.2.2.2.3); — a swan neck hopper (see 5.2.2.2.4 and Figure 5); — an interlocked guard (see 5.2.2.2.5). If none of the previous solution is used, the height of the protective structure and the position of danger zone shall comply with EN ISO 13857:2008, Table 2. 5.2.2.2.2 Pressure sensitive edge If a pressure sensitive edge is used as a safeguarding measure to stop the hazardous movement, the following requirements apply: SIST EN 12042:2014



EN 12042:2014 (E) 13 — the pressure sensitive edge shall comply with EN ISO 13856-2, and — it shall be attached to the upper rim of the hopper or to a provided supporting system, and — the stopping time after activation of the pressure sensitive edge shall be less than or equal to 0,35 s (calculated by taking into account EN ISO 13855:2010), and — the distance between the pressure sensitive edge and the edge of the hopper shall be less than or equal to 8 mm, and — the vertical distance (D) between the upper edge of the hopper and the cutting/crushing zone shall be more than or equal to 550 mm, and — a distance bar shall be provided when the vertical distance (D) is less than 850 mm. In that case: — the safety distance from the distance bar to the danger zone shall be more than or equal to E+F ≥ 850 mm, and — the distance bar shall be placed at a maximum height (G) comprised between 0 mm and 50 mm from the edge of the hopper, and with a minimum horizontal distance (F) from the edge of the hopper of 200 mm.

The interlocking device shall be activated before the opening gap between the fixed and the movable parts exceeds 25 mm; If the guard is a grid, EN ISO 13857:2008, Table 4, shall apply. 5.2.2.2.6 Cleaning of the hopper If for cleaning reasons (e.g. scraping off the dough), it is necessary to access inside the hopper, one of the following solutions shall apply to stop the machine: SIST EN 12042:2014



EN 12042:2014 (E) 17 — interlocked guard at the top of the hopper (see 5.2.2.2.5); — interlocked tilting hopper if the stopping time is less than or equal to 0,35 s or interlocked tilting hopper with guard locking if the stopping time is more than 0,35 s. The interlocking device shall be activated before the opening gap between the fixed and the movable parts exceeds 25 mm; — interlocked opening in the hopper if the stopping time is less than or equal to 0,35 s or interlocked opening in the hopper with guard locking if the stopping time is more than 0,35 s; — interlocked access (e.g. AOPD, interlocked guard, etc.) to the working area from where it is possible to clean the hopper. 5.2.2.2.7 Feeding assistance device inside the hopper If a feeding assistance device is provided, the minimum horizontal distance between the rollers shall be more than or equal to 100 mm (see Figure 6). When driven rollers are used, access to potential in-running nips shall be prevented. The distance between the rollers themselves and between the rollers and the fixed parts of the hopper shall be less than or equal to 4 mm. Dimensions in millimetres
