The relevant key data of dusts can be called up via the GESTIS-STAUB-EX database at
www.dguv.de or taken from the HVBG/BIA report 12/97 "Combustion and explosion
characteristics of dusts" and be converted:
Starch / milk powder / gelatine
Ignition temperature 390°C x 2/3 = 260°C max. permissible surface temperature
Wood / grinding dust
Ignition temperature 290°C - 75°C = 215°C max. permissible surface temperature
Classification of the units
If used in accordance with their intended use (correct operation), the units have no source of
ignition. Therefore, no identification must be made. Various measures (e.g. buffers, wheels of
bronze) have been taken against any sources of ignition which may be caused by the
operating company as a result of misuse.
The documents have been checked by a nominated body (0035) and deposited at TÜV
Rheinland Industrie Service GmbH, Am Grauen Stein, D-51101 Köln, Germany.
In order to exactly identify the product, you will find the identity plate with all important data on
the side plate.

PARK ORMATION
Materials subject to danger of friction and impact
Individual sparks can be generated as a result of frictional and/or impact processes and, as a
consequence, can be the cause dangers of ignition in gases or impact-sensitive dusts.
Increased danger of ignition may emanate from clashing of special material pairings. These
are non corrosion-resistant steel or cast iron against magnesium or pertinent alloys. This
applies especially in case of rust (e.g. surface rust).
For correct operation of the product it must therefore be ensured that there is no rust at these
wear points and that in the application area there are no material combinations of the above-
mentioned aluminium alloys and steel (exception: antirust steel) at possible friction, impact or
grinding points; thus spark formation by these material combinations as a result of mechanical
impact can be excluded.
Hand chain
Always ensure that the hand chain and the load are guided to exclude grinding and/or sliding
contact with external constructions or components. Depending on the degree of corrosion, the
conductive discharge capability of hand chains can worsen to an effect that it is not adequate
any longer. For operation this means that rusty hand chains must no longer be used.
ATTENTION: The user has to operate the unit to avoid sparking from the hand chain.
