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.

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 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
