Thrown objects and operator safety

An operational characteristic of all grinders is that objects may be thrown out of the hopper. Thrown objects may
present a safety hazard to persons in the area. This section is to inform the operator of this characteristic, and what can
be done to reduce the risk of injury to the operator and persons in the area. Keep all observers away from the machine.
Figure 1.1 shows an object being hit as
the hammer is on the upswing. A general
pattern for where thrown objects may
land is shown in Figure 1.2.
NOTE: The difference in the size of the area for side A versus side B. Side B is larger.
Dimensioning the size of this area is not practical. The distance a thrown object may travel is dependent on several
conditions, including, but not limited to, rotor speed and diameter, condition of the hammers, style of hammers, object
mass, object shape, amount of material in the tub, and how the hammer strikes the object.
