SIST EN 15180:2015



EN 15180:2014 (E) 5 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. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated in the scope of this standard. 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. SIST EN 15180:2015



EN 15180:2014 (E) 6 1 Scope 1.1 General This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to food depositors as defined in 1.2.2 to 1.2.6 and the equipment typically integrated into 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 Clause 4). This European Standard deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events during transport, assembly and installation, commissioning, use and decommissioning as defined in EN ISO 12100. 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 standard is intended to apply to depositors used in the food industry, many of its requirements can also be used for similar machines used in other industries. This European Standard 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 hazards related to the use of food depositors in a potentially explosive atmosphere. This European Standard 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 European Standard deals with five different types of food depositors. These machines can be free standing machines or be assemblies incorporated into other machines e.g. pie and tart machines. Food depositors may work fully automatically integrated with a product conveyor or product indexing mechanism or semi-automatically discharging a deposit when required by an operator. 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 separate product dispensing valve. The volume of product dispensed is varied by altering the stroke of the product measuring chamber piston. Piston depositors are used to fill liquids, liquids containing solids in suspension and pastes. The product dispensing valve may be attached rigidly to the depositor or SIST EN 15180:2015



EN 15180:2014 (E) 7 using a flexible pipe and in some cases is held by the operator. Figure 1 shows the typical cross section of a piston depositor.
Figure 1 — Piston depositor 1.2.3 Chamber depositor A chamber depositor comprises a hopper feeding one or more product measuring chambers that are filled under gravity from the top. When the chamber has been filled with product the flow of product is stopped either by moving the chamber or using a product cutting device. The chamber is then discharged through the bottom of the chamber either by moving the chamber or by moving a plate in the base of the chamber. The volume of product dispensed is varied by altering the volume of the chamber. Chamber depositors are typically used to deposit free-flowing products like cooked rice or pasta. Figure 2 shows the typical cross section of a chamber depositor.
Figure 2 — Chamber depositor SIST EN 15180:2015



EN 15180:2014 (E) 8 1.2.4 Roller depositor A roller depositor typically comprises a hopper that feeds product to two or more fluted contra-rotating rollers. These rollers force the product through one or more dies that shape the product. The product is then separated using a product cutting device like a wire cut mechanism. On some designs of the machine the dies are moved while the product is dispensed to produce a shaped product. The volume of product dispensed is varied by altering the timing of the product cut-off device. Roller depositors are typically used to deposit dough or confectionery products. Figure 3 shows the typical cross section of a roller depositor.
Figure 3 — Roller depositor 1.2.5 Pump depositor A pump depositor comprises a hopper that feeds a pump which in turn feeds pipe-work on which are mounted one or more product dispensing valves. The dispensing valves may remain fixed, move up and down or from side to side in synchronization with a product conveyor. The volume of product dispensed is varied by altering the length of time that the dispensing valves are open. Pump depositors are typically used to deposit liquids or liquids containing finely divided solids Figure 4 shows the typical cross section of a pump depositor.
Figure 4 —Pump depositor SIST EN 15180:2015



EN 15180:2014 (E) 9 1.2.6 Screw depositor A screw depositor comprises a hopper in which a screw is mounted. When the screw rotates it draws product from the hopper into a pipe. The hopper may be equipped with stirrers to move the product towards the screw and a product measuring chamber or product dispensing valve may be fitted to the discharge of the screw. The volume of product can be varied by increasing or decreasing the speed of the screw, by varying the volume of the measuring chamber or by controlling the actuation of the product dispensing valve. Screw depositors are typically used to deposit dough, pastes or creams. Figure 5 shows the typical cross section of a screw depositor.

The hazards that can occur on all food depositors are listed in 4.2, and the hazards that are specific to particular types of food depositor are listed in 4.3 to 4.7. 4.2 General food depositor hazards 4.2.1 Introduction The following hazards can occur on all food depositors. 4.2.2 Mechanical hazards 4.2.2.1 Moving parts Food depositors incorporate moving parts which present a variety of mechanical hazards including crushing, shearing, cutting, entanglement, friction, drawing-in. Some of these hazards may persist after the power supply has been cut off, due to stored energy. 4.2.2.2 Risks that may arise from hygienic design features 4.2.2.2.1 Use of quick release fixings Food depositors are frequently fitted with quick release fixings that can be undone without the use of tools, so that machines can be dismantled quickly for cleaning. A risk can arise if undoing these quick release fixings allows access to danger zones. 4.2.2.2.2 Cleaning under machines There is a risk from danger zones on food depositors, when operators reach under guards to clean the machine or the floor under the machine when it is in motion. SIST EN 15180:2015



EN 15180:2014 (E) 13 4.2.2.2.3 Spillage trays Food depositors may be fitted with trays to collect spillages of food from the machine. It is good hygienic design practice for spillage trays to be easily removable so that product can be emptied frequently; however, when the trays are removed, the operator may be exposed to danger zones on the machine. 4.2.2.3 High pressure fluid injection or ejection hazards Where food depositors contain pressurized product there is a risk of this product ejecting in an uncontrolled way during troubleshooting or cleaning. If compressed air or pressurized hydraulic fluid comes into contact with the skin, it can enter the skin or blood stream and result in a variety of health damaging effects. 4.2.3 Electrical hazards 4.2.3.1 Electrical equipment Electrical equipment on the machine generates a potential electric shock and burn hazard. In the presence of combustible materials there is a potential fire hazard. Electrical systems may act as an ignition source. In the presence of flammable substances or products that may create explosive atmospheres, this could give rise to an explosion hazard. If liquids, e.g. product spillage or cleaning substances like water, come into contact with the electrical conductors, there is a risk of electric shock. 4.2.3.2 Electrostatic phenomena Electrostatic discharges can be a source of ignition for flammable substances or explosive atmospheres, e.g. flour dust. 4.2.4 Thermal hazards Some food products are deposited while hot. Scalding hazards may be caused by direct contact with the product, and burning hazards may be caused by contact with hot surfaces on the machine. 4.2.5 Noise The main sources of noise on food depositors are drive mechanisms and compressed air exhaust. Food depositors may generate noise which can result in hearing damage, in accidents due to interference with speech communication and interference with the perception of acoustic signals. 4.2.6 Hazards generated by materials and substances 4.2.6.1 Hazards from products Food depositors are used to deposit a wide range of products, some of which may be potentially hazardous to people operating or in the vicinity of the machine. Hazards generated by the product can include: a) inhalation of harmful substances, e.g. wheat flour, spices; b) burning or scalding hazards, e.g. from hot products. SIST EN 15180:2015



EN 15180:2014 (E) 14 4.2.6.2 Hazards from cleaning media The chemicals used to clean and disinfect food depositors can be hazardous, particularly in their concentrated form. Hazards can arise if the chemicals: a) come into contact with the skin; b) are swallowed; c) are inhaled in the form of an aerosol, e.g. if used in conjunction with a high-pressure hose or compressed air. Where high pressure water is used to clean machines there is a risk of cutting hazards if the water contacts the skin and electric shock if the water enters electrical enclosures. 4.2.7 Hazards due to neglecting ergonomic principles in machinery design Hazards to safety and health can occur when people are carrying out the following activities on food depositors: a) operating the depositor e.g. assuming a poor posture; b) loading product into the hopper e.g. assuming a bad posture, using excessive effort, fatigue; c) cleaning the machine e.g. assuming a bad posture, using excessive effort; d) maintenance e.g. assuming a bad posture, using excessive effort; e) moving the machine e.g. using excessive effort, fatigue. 4.2.8 Unexpected start-up or unexpected overrun 4.2.8.1 Failure of control system Unexpected start-up can occur if components in safety-related parts of contro

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.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of this standard.
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
This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to food
depositors as defined in Clause 3 and the equipment typically associated 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 Clause 4).
This document deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events during transport, assembly
and installation, commissioning and use as defined in EN ISO 12100, Clause 5.4.
NOTE 1 According to the clause referred to, "use" includes setting, teaching/programming or process changeover,
operation, cleaning, fault finding and maintenance.
NOTE 2 Although this standard is intended to apply to depositors used in the food industry, many of its requirements
can also be used for similar machines used in other industries.

This standard 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 415-3:1999+A1:2009;
 filling machines for sausages, safety requirements for these machines are contained in
EN 12463:2004+A1:2011;
 food depositors that are powered exclusively by manual effort.
This document does not deal with the hazards related to the use of food depositors in a potentially explosive
atmosphere.
This document is not applicable to food depositors that were manufactured before the date of its publication
as a European Standard.

oSIST prEN 15180:2011
prEN 15180:2011 (E)
3.1.3
product cutting device
mechanism that separates portions of food from a bulk supply of product. Typical devices include rotary
valves, wire-cut mechanisms, shear blades and iris valves
3.1.4
product dispensing valve
mechanism that controls the flow of product at the point of product delivery. Typical devices include rotary
valves, seating valves and slide valves
3.1.5
product measuring chamber
chamber that is filled with product to measure out a predetermined volume of product. Typically the chamber
will incorporate a mechanism that allows the volume of the chamber to be varied so that the volume of product
dispensed can be changed
3.1.6
rise and fall mechanism
mechanism used to raise and lower a product dispensing valve to suit a particular container or dispensing
requirement
3.1.7
D-valve
rotary valve with a rotating element, which has a D-shaped cross-section
3.2 Types of food depositor
This document deals with five different types of food depositors. These machines can be free standing
machines or be assemblies incorporated into other machines e. g. pie and tart machines. Food depositors
may work fully automatically integrated with a product conveyor or product indexing mechanism or semi-
automatically discharging a deposit when required by an operator.
3.2.1
piston depositor
food depositor that 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 separate product dispensing valve. The volume of product dispensed is varied by altering the
stroke of the product measuring chamber piston. Piston depositors are used to fill liquids, liquids containing
solids in suspension and pastes. The product dispensing valve may be attached rigidly to the depositor or
using a flexible pipe and in some cases is held by the operator.

prEN 15180:2011 (E)
3.2.2
chamber depositor
food depositor that comprises a hopper feeding one or more product measuring chambers that are filled under
gravity from the top. When the chamber has been filled with product the flow of product is stopped either by
moving the chamber or using a product cutting device. The chamber is then discharged through the bottom of
the chamber either by moving the chamber or by moving a plate in the base of the chamber. The volume of
product dispensed is varied by altering the volume of the chamber. Chamber depositors are typically used to
deposit free-flowing products like cooked rice or pasta.

Figure 2 — Chamber depositor
3.2.3
roller depositor
food depositor that typically comprises a hopper that feeds product to two or more fluted contra-rotating rollers.
These rollers force the product through one or more dies that shape the product. The product is then
separated using a product cutting device like a wire cut mechanism. On some designs of the machine the dies
are moved while the product is dispensed to produce a shaped product. The volume of product dispensed is
varied by altering the timing of the product cut-off device. Roller depositors are typically used to deposit dough
or confectionery products.

prEN 15180:2011 (E)
3.2.4
pump depositor
food depositor that comprises a hopper that feeds a pump which in turn feeds pipe-work on which are
mounted one or more product dispensing valves. The dispensing valves may remain fixed, move up and down
or from side to side in synchronisation with a product conveyor. The volume of product dispensed is varied by
altering the length of time that the dispensing valves are open. Pump depositors are typically used to deposit
liquids or liquids containing finely divided solids.

Figure 4 — Pump depositor
3.2.5
screw depositor
food depositor that comprises a hopper in which a screw is mounted. When the screw rotates it draws product
from the hopper into a pipe. The hopper may be equipped with stirrers to move the product towards the screw
and a product measuring chamber or product dispensing valve may be fitted to the discharge of the screw.
The volume of product can be varied by increasing or decreasing the speed of the screw, by varying the
volume of the measuring chamber or by controlling the actuation of the product dispensing valve. Screw
depositors are typically used to deposit dough, pastes or creams.
