Packaging is a critical process that involves several key stages, including filling, wrapping, and sealing, as well as various supporting steps such as cleaning, feeding, stacking, and dismantling. Additionally, the packaging process may also involve labeling, printing dates, or other marking activities on the product. The use of automated packaging machinery not only enhances production efficiency and reduces manual labor but also supports large-scale manufacturing and ensures cleanliness and hygiene standards. But what are the essential safety and operational criteria that packaging machines must meet? Let’s explore them together.
1. Packaging machinery should clearly affix product labels in an easily visible location and specify the main technical parameters required for the machine's proper operation, such as rated current and voltage, pressure, and temperature.
2. Safety requirements for hydraulic systems in packaging machinery must comply with GB3766, while pneumatic systems must follow GB7932 regulations.
3. Electrical equipment on packaging machines must adhere to the relevant safety standards outlined in GB5226.
4. Any moving parts on the machine that could pose a risk to operators—such as clamping, cutting, or rotating components—must be protected by appropriate safety measures. These parts should maintain a safe distance from workers to prevent injuries like pinching or cutting. Dangerous mechanisms should be enclosed within the machine body where possible, and all exposed moving parts that could endanger personnel must be safeguarded.
5. Components that may become loose during operation must have reliable anti-loose mechanisms to prevent accidents.
6. When packaging machinery generates waste or exhaust, it must be equipped with proper disposal systems to protect operators from harm.
7. If a motor is designed to rotate in only one direction, a clear directional mark should be placed on the motor or in a visible location.
8. In areas where there is a high risk of injury, safety protection devices must be installed. If the protective device fully isolates the working area, no additional safeguards are needed. Guards should be in place to ensure a safe distance between operators and hazardous parts.
9. For packaging machines that require elevated operation, a platform meeting relevant safety standards must be provided, along with ladders and guardrails for safe access.
10. The mechanical system of the packaging machine should include interlock protection that stops the machine automatically in case of failure.
11. A safety switch should be installed on the machine so that pressing it in an emergency can immediately stop the operation and prevent accidents.
12. If the machine is in motion and poses a risk, warning devices must be installed to alert personnel to move away from dangerous zones.
13. Packaging machines should feature clear and visible signs for operation, lubrication, safety, and warnings. These signs must follow the guidelines of GB2893 and GB2894, with graphic symbols conforming to established standards.
14. Safety mechanisms should be positioned where operators can easily access and control them.
15. For packaging machines used in flammable or explosive environments, both mechanical and electrical components must have appropriate protective measures and comply with industry regulations.
By following these guidelines, manufacturers can ensure their packaging equipment operates safely, efficiently, and in compliance with international standards.
