1-3.4 Special Type Of Hazards; 1-3.5 Safety Requirements For Electrostatic Powder Coating - Electron E-ROBOT+3 Series User Manual

1.3.4. Special Types of Hazard
• Power: All the high voltage equipment should be unplugged before opened. This is a huge life risk thus it has to be
taken under great care.
• Powder: Powder/air mixtures could be ignited by sparks. Sufficient ventilation is a must while using powder spra-
ying equipment. Powder, which is not swept from the floor creates risky environment.
• Static Charges: These could result in the following: Charges to people, electric shocks, sparks. Charging of objects
has to be avoided.
• Grounding: All electricity conducting parts and machinery in the workplace must be grounded 1.5 m on either side
and 2.5 m around each booth opening. The grounding resistance must amount to a maximum of 1 MOhm resistance
has to be tested regularly. The appropriate devices must be kept in the workplace for regular grounding checks.
• Compressed Air: Compressed air could be created after long pauses of the equipment and this creates risk of
pneumatic hose damage or uncontrolled release and improper use of compressed air. Compressed air should be
drained properly.
• Crushing and Cutting: There might be moving parts while operation (e.g. Conveyor Belt, Reciprocator). The operator
must be trained to maintain the area safety and local security regulations.
• Exceptional Circumstances: Local conditions must be met at all costs. Additional measures such as barriers can
be used to prevent unauthorized access.
• Conversions and Modifications to the Equipment: All conversions and modifications must be asked to Sistem Tek-
nik prior to the process and no process should be done without Sistem Teknik's permission. This is essential for the
equipment safety and conformity. Powder coating equipment should never be used if damaged; these parts should
be changed immediately with the original Sistem Teknik replacement. Other replacements then Sistem Teknik original
equipment does not conform the guarantee, thus the guarantee will no longer be valid. Equipment repairs must be
done only by specialist or at Sistem Teknik verified shops.
1.3.5. Safety Requirements for Electrostatic Powder Coating
• All the equipment used for powder coating is dangerous unless the instructions are not conformed.
• Every electrostatic conductive part must be grounded within the 5 meter radius from the equipment.
• The floor of the coating area should conduct electricity (Concrete is generally a conductive surface, check with your
building project for more info)
• The users should wear electricity conducting footwear.
• Grounding cable must be connected to the grounding screw of the electrostatic powderpowder pump. It should
have a good connection with the powder center, hopper and conveyor chain (if used).
• E-DRIVE ZX02-EX must be switched off while the it is being cleaned.
• The grounding must be checked every week. Remember that the grounding resistance must be 1 MOhm at a maxi-
mum.
• Only use spare parts / attachments and accessories from Sistem Teknik's original parts page. This ensures the
safety of the equipment and conformity of use.
• Cleaning agents creates the risk of hazardous fumes. Please check the manufacturer's manual about more informa-
tion about the cleaning agents if they are used in the site.
• Especially make sure that the environmental regulations and the manufacturer's instructions are being conformed
while disposing the powder lacquer and cleaning agents.
• Repairs have to be carried out via specialists of Sistem Teknik trained personnel and never to be done in the opera-
ting area under any circumstance.
• Dangerous dust concentration levels should be avoided in powder spraying areas. There must be sufficient techni-
cal ventilation available (e.g. booth ventilation) to prevent a dust concentration of more than %50 of the lower explo-
sion limit (UEG = max. permissible powder/air concentration). If the UEG is not known then a value of 10 g/m
be used.
