Food processing machinery - Intermediate provers - Safety and hygiene requirements

This standard specifies safety and hygiene requirements for the design and manufacture of intermediate provers with moving pocket carriers as described in Clause 3 used in the food industry, pastry-making, bakeries, etc. for giving a resting time to dough between dividing and moulding processes. This European Standard specifies all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the installation, adjustment, operation, cleaning, maintenance, dismantling, disabling and scrapping of intermediate provers with moving pocket carriers when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. The significant hazards covered by the standard are mechanical (shearing, trapping, cutting, loss of stability), electrical, ergonomic and also those resulting from inhalation of flour dust and lack of hygiene. Noise is not considered to be a significant hazard from intermediate provers. This does not mean that the manufacturer of the machine is absolved from reducing noise and making a noise declaration. Therefore a noise test code is proposed in Annex B. The following machines are excluded: - rack provers; - experimental and testing machines under development by the manufacturer. This standard is not applicable to intermediate provers with moving pocket carriers which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.

Stroji za predelavo hrane - Komore za vmesno počivanje testa - Varnostne in higienske zahteve (vključno z dopolnilom A1)

Ta standard določa varnostne in higienske zahteve za načrtovanje in proizvodnjo komor za vmesno počivanje testa s premikajočimi se nosilci s košaricami, kot opisano v klavzuli 3, ki se uporabljajo v prehrambeni industriji, pri izdelavi peciva, v pekarnah itd., ter zagotavljajo počivanje testa med postopkom deljenja in gnetenja. Ta evropski standard določa vse velike nevarnosti, nevarne situacije in dogodke, pomembne za postavitev, prilagoditev, delovanje, čiščenje, vzdrževanje, razstavljanje, izklapljanje in uničenje komor za vmesno počivanje testa s premikajočimi se nosilci kotlov, kadar se uporabljajo, kot je predvideno in pod pogoji napačne uporabe, ki jih razumno predvidi proizvajalec. Velike nevarnosti, zajete s tem standardom, so mehanske (striženje, priščipnjenje, rezanje in izguba stabilnosti), električne, ergonomske in prav tako tiste, ki so posledica vdihavanja prahu moke in pomanjkanja higiene. Hrup ne šteje kot velika nevarnost iz komor za vmesno počivanje testa. To ne pomeni, da je proizvajalec stroja oproščen zmanjševanja hrupa in priprave označbe hrupa. Zato je preskusna koda hrupa predlagana v Dodatku B. Izvzeti so naslednji stroji: - komore za počivanje testa s košaricami in preskusni stroji, ki jih razvija proizvajalec. Ta standard ne velja za komore za vmesno počivanje testa s premikajočimi se nosilci s košaricami, ki so izdelane pred datumom njegove objave v obliki EN.

As shown in Figure 1, an intermediate prover consists of:  a variable number of fixed or hinged pockets supported in a carrier into which dough pieces are loaded. One pocket may hold more than one dough piece;  a mechanical transfer system moving the pocket carrier along a fixed path inside the machine;  a frame supporting or containing the transmission machinery." The following features may also be included:  an automatic device to control the temperature and/or humidity inside the machine;  a flour dusting device; SIST EN 12043:2002+A1:2011



EN 12043:2000+A1:2010 (E) 7  other accessories e.g. germicidal lamp (device to prevent the formation of mould - generally an ultraviolet lamp), pocket drier (device to dry the pockets - generally an infra-red lamp or a ventilation system with or without heating ). The resting time is the period of time from loading until discharge of a single pocket. This time can be fixed or variable. There are openings in the frame where dough portions are introduced into the machine (loading) and where they are taken out (discharge). The position of loading and discharge depends on the frame shape and the path of movement of the pockets. Some machines may have more than one discharge. These machines may provide different resting times depending on which of the discharges is being used. There are two main types of intermediate provers. These are differentiated by the type of feeding which can be either manual or automatic. Automatically fed machines may be loaded one portion of dough at a time, or the full carrier can be loaded, be it gutter or pocket shaped. When the full carrier is loaded, the automatic loading device can be either internal or external. The discharge of the machine may also be manual or automatic. When the discharge is manual, the dough portions are taken out from the pockets by hand through an opening in the frame. In some cases this aperture may be the same one used to load the machine. The movement of the pockets may be continuous or intermittent. In some cases, access to the path of movement of the pockets, in addition to the loading and discharge openings, is provided. 4 !!!!List of significant hazards"""" ! 4.1 General This clause contains all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events, as far as they are dealt with in this Standard, identified by risk assessment as significant for this type of machinery, and which require action to eliminate or reduce the risks." 4.2 Mechanical hazards The significant mechanical hazards are:  shearing hazard;  trapping hazard;  cutting hazard;  loss of stability. The examples in Figure 1 illustrate the danger zones associated with these hazards: SIST EN 12043:2002+A1:2011

In addition, the machine shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100-2 for relevant but not significant hazards, which are not dealt with by this document. The safety related parts of the control systems shall meet at least category 1 of 6.2.2 of EN 954-1:1996 or present at least a performance level c defined in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1:2008. When fixed guards, or parts of the machine acting as such, are not permanently fixed e.g. by welding, their fixing systems shall remain attached to the guards or to the machinery when the guards are removed." 5.2 Mechanical hazards Where reference is made to interlocking devices, they shall comply with 4.2.1 and clauses 5 and 6 of !EN 1088:1995+A2:2008". Where the interlocking mechanism has movable parts, e.g. position switches, these shall be protected from contamination with dough or dry ingredients, e. g. by mounting them within the machine body. Alternatively, magnetic switches may be used if total removal of any guard is required. Where switches may be exposed to water, e.g. during cleaning, they shall be protected to an appropriate IP rating (EN 60529: 1991, e. g. IPX5). !deleted text" 5.2.1 Zone 1: Zone of loading and unloading of the dough portions 5.2.1.1 The risk of trapping the arm between the moving pocket carrier and the fixed edges of the loading or unloading openings shall be prevented by any of the following:  ensuring the distance between the fixed edge of the opening and the nearest rigid part of the pocket carrier is a minimum of 120 mm (see Figures 2 a) and 2b);  providing a pressure sensitive trip bar or wire (see !EN 1760-2") covering the opening where the trapping may occur (see Figure 2 c) with a stopping time less than or equal to 1 s;  ensuring the force required to stop the motion of the pocket carrier does not exceed 150 N either loaded or unloaded; this could be achieved e.g. by a torque limiting device;  where pocket carrier movement is not continuous, the pressure sensitive bar or wire is not required. The indexing movement may be controlled by a timer or the operation of a manual control device. This method can only be used where both the loading and the unloading area are visible from the position of the control device. 5.2.1.2 The risk of trapping between adjacent descending and ascending pocket carriers shall be prevented by any of the following:  ensuring the distance between the axis of the ascending pocket and the axis of the descending pocket carrier is a minimum of 200 mm (see Figure 2 d)); SIST EN 12043:2002+A1:2011



EN 12043:2000+A1:2010 (E) 12  provision of a fixed plate behind the first line of carriers preventing through access;  ensuring the force required to stop the motion of the pocket carrier does not exceed 150 N either loaded or unloaded. 5.2.1.3 Automatic loading systems When loading is automatic (see examples in Figure 3):  either the system is enclosed in the machine frame with at least one interlocking guard, in order to permit access for cleaning;  or the system is outside the frame and access to any danger points shall be prevented by any of the following:  provision of a trip device with a stopping time less or equal to 1 s and with the dimensions shown in Figure 2 c);  provision of a fixed or an interlocking guard with any openings in accordance with EN 294: 1992, Table 4;  ensuring the force required to stop the motion of the dangerous elements does not exceed 150 N. 5.2.2 Zone 2: Drive mechanisms Access to the primary drive system, for example motor and vee belt drives, shall be prevented. This may be achieved by use of fixed guards complying with !EN 953:1997+A1:2009". The machine frame itself may act as a fixed guard. Access to inrunning nips between drive chains and sprockets for the pocket carriers shall be prevented. The machine frame normally acts as a guard. If any nips cannot be made inaccessible by means of openings in accordance with the distances in EN 294:1992, they shall be individually safeguarded as shown for example in Figure 2 e). 5.2.3 Zone 3: Carrier transfer system If access to the machine interior is required for maintenance or cleaning, doors or movable panels shall be designed as fixed or interlocking guards. 5.2.4 Zone 4: Flour duster If the force necessary to stop the moving parts of the flour duster is more than 150 N, the flour duster shall be protected by a fixed or interlocking guard. The flour container opening can be left unprotected if there is no risk from the flour feed system (e.g. if the feed consists of a spindle with rubber spokes or notches, or if the flour is sprinkled by a vibrating device). 5.2.5 Zone 5: Fan with or without heating device Access to the fan and/or heater shall be prevented by any of the following:  either the sum of the distances from the floor to the danger point is greater than or equal to 2,50 m;  or access to the danger point is prevented by fixed guards, e.g. wire mesh with dimensions in accordance with EN 294: 1992, Table 4.
