Safety Operation Protocols for JORNEN Blister Machines

Strict adherence to safety protocols is mandatory for the operation and maintenance of JORNEN Blister Machines. The following guidelines must be implemented to ensure personnel safety and optimal machine performance.

Pre-Operation Requirements

• Documentation & Personnel: Prior to operation, read the comprehensive operation manual. The machine must only be operated and maintained by trained, authorized professionals familiar with its mechanical structure and safety regulations.
• Installation Environment: Install the machine in a controlled environment, isolated from excessive heat, humidity, and external vibration.
• Electrical Safety: Verify that the power supply voltage matches the machine’s specifications. Ensure the machine is properly grounded at the designated electrical connection point. Keep the electrical cabinet door securely closed at all times, except during authorized maintenance. Any electrical faults must be addressed exclusively by a certified electrician.
• Apparel: Operators must wear suitable, fitted industrial clothing to prevent entanglement in moving components.
• Operator Condition: Operation under the influence of alcohol, medication, or any substance impairing alertness is strictly prohibited.

Operating Safety Protocols

• Moving Parts: Never touch or interfere with moving components while the machine is energized or in motion.
• Maintenance & Cleaning: Absolute power disconnection is required prior to cleaning, maintenance, format part changeovers, or spare part replacement. Ensure all electrical components remain dry during cleaning procedures.
• Alarm Monitoring: Continuously monitor and respond to any active alarm indicators on the machine interface.
• Emergency Stop (E-Stop): All personnel must be familiar with the exact locations of the Emergency STOP switches. In the event of an emergency or abnormal mechanical noise, press the STOP button immediately and request inspection by authorized personnel.

Emergency Procedures: Manual Barring

In the event of an operator becoming entangled in the machine mechanism, execute the following emergency protocol immediately:

1. Immediate Shutdown: Press the Emergency STOP button and disconnect the main power supply instantly.
2. Access Barring Mechanism: Open the manual barring gear door and locate the barring hole. Insert the provided crank handle.
3. Determine Rotation Direction: The arrow indicator on the barring gear denotes the machine’s normal working direction (See Figure 1). WARNING: Rotating in the normal direction may not always release the entanglement and could exacerbate the situation.
4. Execute Release: Carefully assess the mechanical bind. Once the correct release direction is determined, rotate the handle swiftly to relieve stress on the entangled area. If the chosen direction increases tension, immediately reverse the rotation until the entangled part is completely freed from the mechanism (See Figure 2).
