Food processing machinery - Planetary mixers - Safety and hygiene requirements

This standard specifies safety and hygiene requirements for the design and manufacture of fixed bowl planetary mixers with a tool having a planetary movement. The capacity of the bowl is greater than or equal to 5 l and less than or equal to 200 l.
These machines are used to process various ingredients e.g. cocoa, flour, sugar, oils and fat, minced meat, eggs, and other ingredients, in the catering, bakery, pizza, pastry and confectionary industry.
These machines are sometimes used in other industries (e.g. pharmaceutical industry, chemical industry, printing, etc.), but hazards related to these uses are not dealt with in this standard.
Processing is carried out in cycles of variable duration. It can be either manually or automatically-controlled, in individual cycles or on a cycle repeat basis, etc. Manual operations are sometimes necessary to add ingredients without stopping the beater.
On machines fitted with a bowl lifting and lowering device or with a device for moving the bowl/head/beater vertically the working position is that when the beater is nearest to the bottom of the bowl.
This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to planetary mixers, when they are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. It deals with the hazards due to the use, the maintenance and the cleaning.
This European standard does not deal with the following machines:
- catering attachment for planetary mixers (see EN 12851);
- continuously fed machines;
- dough mixers (see EN 453);
- experimental and testing machines under development by the manufacturers;
- domestic appliances.
This document is not applicable to machines which are manufactured before its date of publication as a European standard.

Obdelava se izvaja v različno dolgih ciklih. Nadzorovana je lahko ročno ali avtomatsko, v posameznih ciklih ali s ponavljajočimi cikli itd. Včasih je potrebno ročno dodajanje sestavin brez ustavljanja stepalnika.
Pri strojih, ki so opremljeni napravo za dviganje in spuščanje posode ali napravo za premikanje posode/glave/stepalnika navpično v delovnem položaju, je to takrat, ko je stepalnik najbližje dnu posode.
Ta evropski standard opisuje vsa večja tveganja, nevarne situacije in nevarne dogodke v zvezi s planetarnimi mešalniki, kadar se uporabljajo v skladu z njihovim namenom in pod pogoji pričakovane nepravilne uporabe, ki jih določa proizvajalec. Obravnava nevarnosti zaradi uporabe, vzdrževanja in čiščenja.
Ta evropski standard ne obravnava naslednjih strojev:
– nastavkov za katering za planetarne mešalnike (glej EN 12851);
– strojev z nenehnim podajanjem;
– mešalnikov testa (glej EN 453);
– poskusnih in preskusnih strojev, ki jih razvijajo proizvajalci;
– gospodinjskih aparatov.
Ta dokument se ne uporablja za stroje, ki so bili izdelani pred datumom objave dokumenta kot evropskega standarda.

EN 454:2014 (E) 6 1 Scope 1.1 This European Standard specifies safety and hygiene requirements for the design and manufacture of fixed bowl planetary mixers with a tool having a planetary movement by using two parallel axes. The capacity of the bowl is greater than or equal to 5 L1) and less than or equal to 200 L. These planetary mixers are used separately in the food industry and shops (catering, bakery, pizza, pastry and confectionary industry) for mixing, kneading and emulsifying/whipping food products (e.g. cocoa, flour, sugar, oils and fat, eggs, and other ingredients). These machines are fed by hand and sometimes during operation without stopping the machine. Processing is carried out in cycles of variable duration. It can be either manually or automatically controlled, in individual cycles or on a cycle repeat basis, etc. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the transport, installation, adjustment, operation, cleaning, maintenance, dismantling, disassembling and scrapping of planetary mixers, when they are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer(see Clause 4). 1.2 This European Standard does not deal with the following machines: — catering attachment for planetary mixers (see EN 12851); — continuously fed machines; — dough mixers (see EN 453); — whipping mixers which contain no parallel axes; — stirring machines; — experimental and testing machines under development by the manufacturers; — machines used in other industry, for example: meat industry, candy industry, pharmaceutical industry, chemical industry; — domestic appliances. 1.3 This European Standard is not applicable to machines which are manufactured before its date of publication as a European standard. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

In addition, the machine shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100 for relevant but not significant hazards, which are not dealt with by this document. Unless otherwise specified, the requirements given throughout Clause 5 apply both to Class 1 and Class 2. 5.2 Mechanical hazards 5.2.1 General Where reference is made to interlocking devices throughout Clause 5, they shall comply with EN ISO 14119.

This may be achieved by a movable interlocking guard covering the top of the bowl. The bowl itself when in working position prevents access from other directions. For Class 1 planetary mixers, because of their low power and small size, access to the volume covered by the tool shall be at least restricted by a bowl extension. It may be fixed or associated with an interlocking device and movable so that the tool will not operate unless the bowl extension is in position, see Figure 3. There shall be a minimum distance of 120 mm between the upper edge of the extension and the upper limit of the volume covered by the tool. The distance between the upper edge of bowl and the lower edge of the bowl extension may not exceed 8 mm. In working position the distance between the upper edge of the bowl extension and the machine frame shall be less than or equal to 80 mm. Dimensions in millimetres

In working position the distance between the upper edge of the interlocked guard and the machine frame shall be less than or equal to 80 mm. If the interlocked guard is solid (e.g. a cover without apertures), it can also be used to prevent flour dust emission hazard (see 5.9), and the following requirements apply. The interlocked guard shall be linked to suitable actuated position detectors functioning in the positive mode in compliance with EN ISO 14119:2013, 5.4. Position detectors themselves shall comply with EN ISO 14119:2013, 5.2 and 5.3.1, and any rotary or linear cams with EN ISO 14119:2013, 5.3.2. SIST EN 454:2015
