Machine Equipment

Specific Surface. If a defined specific surface area is required, this can affect the choice of equipment. Machines that apply stress by cmshing generally create more ultrafines, and hence higher surface area, than impact mills. 

This chapter examines the need for lubrication and the types of lubricant available. Various applications are considered, including engines gears, hydraulic equipment, machine tools, metal cutting and working fluids, compressors, turbines and electrical oils. The care of lubricants on-site, application of planned lubrication and inclusion within overall maintenance management are examined. 

Polypropylene is used in sterilisable medical and chemical equipment machine parts, food packs, book coverings, packing meat and cheese, washable wall paper yarn to make socking, etc. 

The most important applications of nickel metal involve its use in numerous alloys. Such alloys are used to construct various equipment, reaction vessels, plumbing parts, missile, and aerospace components. Such nickel-based alloys include Monel, Inconel, HasteUoy, Nichrome, Duranickel, Udinet, Incoloy and many other alloys under various other trade names. The metal itself has some major uses. Nickel anodes are used for nickel plating of many base metals to enhance their resistance to corrosion. Nickel-plated metals are used in various equipment, machine parts, printing plates, and many household items such as scissors, keys, clips, pins, and decorative pieces. Nickel powder is used as porous electrodes in storage batteries and fuel cells.

Service life is another important criterion when configuring a drive system. In commutator equipped machines (DC motors), the brushes are subject to abrasion. Service time here is on the order of 2,000 to 8,000 hours, with correct current load, correct contact pressure, and purity of the cooling air influence service time considerably. The commutator is also subject to wear and should be checked regularly and, when required, overhauled. 

Some practical conditions for SEPIFILM and equipment machines are shown in Tables 18-20.

Polishing conditions are driven by productivity and quality targets defined by the glass polisher and the equipment (machine, pad) used. They may also be adjusted depending on glass type. Speed, pressure, and slurry concentration are obvious key parameters, but water hardness and slurry temperature also influence polishing efficiency as shown in Figure 9-21. 

In summary, the accidents main reason is closely related to human behavior. From macro-viewpoint, if the behaviors of corporate decision-making layer, management layer, operate layer are correct if equipments, machines and tools can achieve inherent safety through the scientific and technical personnel research and safety technical personnel operate standard if environment conforms to safety standards, the accident would not have happened. So, coal mine accidents human error mechanism model is established, human error is the primary reason for coal mine incidents.

The same reporting system is vital for other high-risk situations, including lack of proper equipment, machine failure, or other hazards. Often this important feedback of safety information is stifled by the culture of an organization that does not recognize its value and creates a fear of reporting at the workplace. 

The rated capacity of certain equipment/machine is more than necessary. 

When using equipment, machines and certain tools, such as angle grinders which are difficult to use. 

Openings in the part that are not to be cut into it require the use of cores. When the melt encounters a core, it divides and passes around it. Therefore, there is always a knit line around a hole or boss on the side opposite from the direction of flow. For relatively simple parts, that would be the direction of the gate. It is also difficult for fillers to reach these same areas and they may contain little or no filler—a condition known as resin rich. If knit lines or lack of filler result in a loss of strength beyond what the application can withstand, it may be advisable to cut the holes instead, even though the cost is higher. With the proper equipment, machining the holes can also be more precise than molding them.

Interlocks An interlock is a switch intended to prevent access to energized equipment or a dangerous location. Many access doors, panels, and gates have interlocks. When a door opens or someone removes a panel, the interlock interrupts power to enclosed equipment. Machine and equipment operator seats often have interlocks. When the operator leaves the seat, the switch cuts off power. In some applications interlocks...

When airline pilots fly, the most critical parts of the job are takeoffs and landings. Because these are such crucial aspects of flying, a checklist for proceeding in a safe manner is used to mitigate the potential for mistakes. It is vital to provide help when a chance for error can result in grave consequences. Similarly, laminated SOPs should be placed on equipment, machines, and vehicles for individuals who need a refresher prior to operation because they have not used the equipment or have performed a task on an infrequent basis. 

The employer should develop and implement safe work practices to provide for the control of hazards during operations such as equipment/machine operation, lockout/tagout, confined space entry, opening process equipment or piping, and control over an entrance into a facility by maintenance, contractor, laboratory, or other support personnel. These safe work practices must apply to both company employees and contract employees.

Connection between nodes is a link. Your connection to other people is a link. For example, when you talk to another person you link with them. When you as part of the leadership team have a face-to-face discussion, hold a daily preshift review, a weekly or monthly meeting, area walk-throughs, and/or review the equipment/machine-specific checklist with your employees, you are directly linked with your employee(s). Refer to Chapter 11, Developing an Activity-Based Safety System. Through your links, your message is directly communicated to the employees in each of these activities. Where you are not directly connected is where information may not be flowing. In addition, the employees you are linked with are in turn linked to other employees. 

Review the equipment/machine-specific checklist with your employees.
