System Inspection
After carrying out routine maintenance and rectifying a number of breakdowns on the main production line at Hambleside Danelaw, we were requested to inspect a system which had been installed as a retro-fit addition, but had never been operational.
The system is located in an enclosure, housing saws for trimming the edges of GRP roofing products and is designed to chop up off-cuts, enabling them to be dropped into bins and preventing the waste product from accumulating in the enclosure. The operation of this system was intended to be automatic, with the chopper adjusting its operation speed to match that of the main production line. The system had been designed, built and installed by a Dutch company, and although the mechanical process of the system was sound, the control system simply did not work.
Without the use of this guillotine system, the production line operatives were required to manually remove the waste product from the enclosure, resulting in a large build up of waste prior to removal and a very dangerous trip hazard.
