Roller compactor operating conditions

Table 10 Roller Compactor Operating Conditions and Particle Size Distributions for 5% Active Granulation Trials...

Johanson identified, through very comprehensive mathematical models and relationships, material properties, press dimensions, and operating conditions for roll compactors. For more information, the interested person should read the entire reference. In part, he described that roller compaction involves a continuous shear deformation of the granules into a solid mass. 

A. Section 1926.601(a)(3) requires all motor vehicles to be equipped with an adequate audible warning device at the operator s station and in an operable condition. Section 1926.602(a)(9)(l) covers material handling equipment and requires all bidirectional machines, such as rollers, compactors, front-end loaders, bulldozers, and similar equipment, to be equipped with a horn, distinguishable from the surrounding noise level, which shall be operated as needed when the machine is moving in either direction. The horn is required to be maintained in an operative condition. The construction standards do not contain a grandfather clause for the use of horns.
