Die-casting technology plays a vital role in modern manufacturing, but the potential dangers in its operation cannot be underestimated. To ensure the safety of operators and the normal running of the device, observe the safety operation rules, periodically maintain the device, and take necessary protective measures. Below we will introduce in detail how to effectively improve the safety of die casting machine operation through these methods.
1、 Die casting machine safety operation rules
1.1、Equipment inspection and maintenance
Daily inspection: Before each operation, we should carefully check whether the amount of lubricating oil in the die-casting machine is sufficient, whether the fasteners are firm, whether the line is normal, whether the cooling water and oil circuit are smooth.
Safety protective door: Safety protective door is a key device to prevent liquid metal spatter and mechanical damage. Be sure to ensure that it is sensitive and reliable, and must not be dismantled or unused at will.
Nitrogen cylinder and accumulator: Check the air pressure of the nitrogen cylinder and the connection fasteners to ensure that there is no loosening. During maintenance, light nitrogen should be released first to avoid the proximity of fire.
1.2、Operating specification
Start preparation: Before starting, make sure that the mold is installed correctly and there is no personnel or debris in the activity range. All operators must wear the required personal protective equipment, such as protective glasses, earplugs, gloves, etc.
Precautions during operation: It is strictly forbidden to adjust, repair or clean the machine during operation; Do not place hands or other body parts near moving parts; When encountering abnormal conditions, stop processing immediately.
Emergency shutdown: In case of emergency, quickly press the emergency stop button, turn off the power, and handle according to the emergency plan.
Training and assessment
Pre-job training: All operators must receive professional training and pass the assessment before they can work. The training includes equipment operation, safety knowledge and emergency handling.
Regular retraining: Regular retraining and skill upgrading courses are organized to ensure that operators are always up-to-date with the latest safe operating procedures and technologies.
2、 Personal protective measures and equipment requirements
2.1、Basic protective equipment
Protective glasses: Protect your eyes from metal droplets, dust, and other particles.
Earplugs: Reduce the impact of noise on hearing.
Protective gloves: Prevent hands from being burned by hot surfaces or coming into contact with harmful substances.
Protective clothing: Wear work clothes made of heat-resistant and fire-resistant materials to prevent accidental burns and fires.
2.2、Advanced protective measures
Respirator: When working in an environment where toxic gases may be present, use a suitable respirator to protect respiratory health.
Safety shoes: Wear safety shoes with anti-slip function to avoid falling in a wet working environment.
3、 Hazard source identification and risk assessment
3.1、Major hazard
High temperature liquid metal: may cause burns, explosion and other serious accidents.
Mechanical equipment moving parts: there is a risk of clamping, impact injury.
Harmful gases: Some materials will release harmful gases during the heating process, and long-term inhalation is harmful to the human body.
3.2、Risk assessment
Conduct regular risk assessment, identify new potential hazards, and take appropriate control measures.
Adjust the selection of safe operating procedures and personal protective equipment according to the evaluation results.
4、Accident emergency treatment and rescue
4.1、Emergency plan
Develop detailed emergency plans, including fire, explosion, personnel injury and other possible emergencies.
Make sure everyone is familiar with the plan and rehearse it regularly.
4.2、Emergency response
In the event of an accident, immediately start the emergency plan, quickly evacuate personnel, and report to the relevant departments.
Give initial treatment to the injured and wait for medical professionals to arrive at the scene.
Through the implementation of the above measures, the safety of the operation of the die casting machine can be significantly improved, the probability of accidents can be reduced, and the safety of the life and property of the staff can be guaranteed.
