Food processing machinery - Food depositors - Safety and hygiene requirements
This European Standard establishes safety requirements for food depositors. This group of machines is defined in detail in clause 3.2 of this standard, with diagrams illustrating examples of the principle of operation of each machine type.
This standard covers the safety requirements for machine design, construction, installation, commissioning, operation, adjustment, maintenance and cleaning. This standard applies to machines manufactured after the date of issue of this standard.
NOTE Although this standard is primarily intended to apply to depositors used in the food industry, it should also be noted that the same machines are also used to deposit non-food products. Where depositors are used for non-food products, the health and safety requirements of this standard will apply, but the hygiene requirements will not apply.
Exclusions
This standard is not applicable to the following machines:
¾ Auger depositors or auger fillers and gravimetric filling machines; safety requirements for these machines are contained in EN 415-3:2000.
¾ Food depositors that are powered exclusively by manual effort;
¾ Food depositors that were manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN;
This standard does not consider the following hazards:
¾ the use of food depositors in potentially explosive atmospheres;
¾ the health, safety or hygiene hazards associated with the products that may be handled by the machines, but does include general advice on this subject;
¾ hazards that may be associated with electromagnetic emissions from food depositors;
¾ hazards that may be associated with decommissioning food depositors.
Nahrungsmittelmaschinen - Nahrungsmittelportioniermaschinen - Sicherheits- und Hygieneanforderungen
Diese Europäische Norm stellt Sicherheitsanforderungen für Nahrungsmittelportioniermaschinen auf. Diese Gruppe von Maschinen wird detailliert mit Prinzipskizzen der Arbeitsweise jedes einzelnen Maschinentyps in 3.2 definiert.
Diese Norm deckt die Sicherheitsanforderungen für die Maschinengestaltung, Gestaltung, Installation, Auslieferung, den Betrieb, das Einrichten, die Wartung und Reinigung ab. Diese Norm gilt für Maschinen, die nach dem Veröffentlichungsdatum dieser Norm hergestellt werden.
ANMERKUNG Obwohl diese Norm primär für Portioniermaschinen, die in der Nahrungsmittelindustrie eingesetzt werden, anzuwenden ist, sollte beachtet werden, dass dieselben Maschinen auch zum Portionieren anderer Produkte als Nahrungsmittel eingesetzt werden. Wo diese Portioniermaschinen im Nichtnahrungsmittelbereich eingesetzt werden, gelten die gleichen Gesundheits- und Sicherheitsanforderungen dieser Norm, die Hygieneanforderungen gelten jedoch nicht.
Machine pour les produits alimentaires - Doseuses alimentaires - Prescriptions relatives à la sécurité et à l'hygiène
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les prescriptions de sécurité pour les doseuses alimentaires. La
définition détaillée de ce type de machines est fournie au paragraphe 3.2 de la présente norme, avec des
schémas illustrant le principe de fonctionnement de chaque type de machine.
La présente norme traite des prescriptions de sécurité relatives à la conception, à la construction, à
l�installation, à la mise en service, au fonctionnement, au réglage, à la maintenance et au nettoyage des
machines. Elle s�applique aux machines fabriquées après la date de publication de la présente norme.
NOTE Bien que cette norme soit principalement destinée aux doseuses utilisées dans l�industrie alimentaire, il
convient de noter que les mêmes machines sont également utilisées pour des produits non alimentaires. Dans ce cas, les
prescriptions sanitaires et de sécurité définies dans la présente norme s�appliquent, tandis que les prescriptions relatives à
l�hygiène ne s�appliquent pas.

Introduction
Food depositors are used extensively in Europe, in commercial and industrial food preparation
applications. They present some health and safety hazards that have the potential to cause serious injury.
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market
players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e. g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e. g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B
standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the other
standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this type-C
standard.
1 Scope
1.1 General
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to food
depositors as listed in 1.2 and the equipment typically integrated with them, i.e. product pumps, product
elevators, conveyors and indexing mechanisms, when they are used as intended and under conditions of
misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Annex B).
This document deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events during transport,
assembly and installation, commissioning, use, decommissioning, disabling, dismantling and scrapping.
NOTE 1 According to the clause which is referred to, “use” includes “setting, teaching/programming or process
changeover, operation, cleaning, fault finding and maintenance”.
NOTE 2 Although this document is intended to apply to depositors used in the food industry, many of its
requirements can also be used for the same or similar machines used in other industries.
This document is not applicable to the following machines:
— auger depositors or auger fillers and gravimetric filling machines, safety requirements for these
machines are contained in EN 415-3;
— automatic dough dividers, safety requirements for these machines are contained in EN 12042;
— filling machines for sausages, safety requirements for these machines are contained in EN 12463;
— mincing machines, safety requirements for these machines are contained in EN 12331;
— food depositors that are powered exclusively by manual effort.
This document does not deal with the following hazards:
— hazards related to the use of food depositors in a potentially explosive atmosphere;
— hazards that may arise from using a food depositor to deposit a non-food product.
This document is not applicable to food depositors that were manufactured before the date of its
publication as a European Standard.
1.2 Types of food depositors
1.2.1 General
This document deals with five different types of food depositor. The component parts of each of the
different types of depositor are labelled in the figures shown in Clause 4 of this document.
1.2.2 Piston depositor
A piston depositor typically comprises a hopper, a rotary valve, a product measuring chamber in the form
of a piston and a product dispensing valve. Some piston depositors incorporate several product
measuring chambers and dispensing valves. Some designs dispense the product directly from the rotary
valve without the use of a separat
