Food processing machinery - Automatic back splitting machines of butchery carcasses - Safety and hygiene requirements

This European standard applies to automatic back splitting machines and specifies safety and health requirements for  machines used in slaughterhouses in order to fully automatically split meat animal (beef and pork) along the back-bone axis, splitting the carcass into two parts (see Figure 1).
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to automatic back splitting machines, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
This document deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events during transport, assembly and installation, commissioning and use as defined in EN ISO 12100-1, Clause 5.3.
This document is not applicable to automatic back splitting machines, which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.
The machines concerned by this standard are those used in slaughterhouses. They are fitted with a cutting device and are driven by electric, hydraulic and/or pneumatic energy.
The utilized cutting tools are:
-   circular saws,
-   splitting tools.
Three types of machines are considered (see Figures 1 to 5):
-   Splitting machines for pork carcasses, type A (splitter),
-   Splitting machines for pork carcasses, type B (circular saw),
-   Splitting machines for beef carcasses, type C (circular saw).
There are two different operation cycles:
-   carcasses can be splitted when they are at standstill.(In general they are hanging on a sequence conveyed transport system.);
-   carcasses can also be splitted during their continuous movement by conveyor. In this case the movement of the tool is synchronized with that of the carcass.
When the split is finished, the cutting tool returns automatically to its initial position.
The machines run automatically. Under normal operating conditions there is no manual intervention.

Nahrungsmittelmaschinen - Automatische Rückenspaltmaschinen für Schlachttierkörper - Sicherheits- und Hygieneanforderungen

1.1   Allgemeines
Diese Europäische Norm betrifft automatische Rückenspaltmaschinen und spezifiziert Sicherheits- und Gesundheitsanforderungen an Maschinen, die in Schlachthöfen zur automatischen Rückenspaltung von Schlachttieren (Rinder und Schweine) entlang der Wirbel¬säule verwendet werden, wobei der Tierkörper in zwei Teile gespalten wird (siehe Bild 1).
Dieses Dokument behandelt alle signifikanten Gefährdungen, Gefährdungssituationen und Gefährdungs-ereignisse, die auf automatische Rückenspaltmaschinen zutreffen, wenn sie bestimmungsgemäß und ent-sprechend vernünftigen, vorhersehbaren Bedingungen des Herstellers verwendet werden (siehe Abschnitt 4).
Dieses Dokument behandelt die signifikanten Gefährdungen, Gefährdungssituationen und Gefähr-dungsereignisse während Transport, Zusammenbau und Aufstellung, Inbetriebnahme und Gebrauch, wie in EN ISO 12100-1:2003, Abschnitt 5.3, beschrieben.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für automatische Rückenspaltmaschinen, die hergestellt wurden, bevor CEN dieses Dokument als EN veröffentlichte.
1.2   Beschreibung der betroffenen Maschinen
Die von dieser Norm erfassten Maschinen werden in Schlachthöfen verwendet. Sie sind mit einer Schneide-vorrichtung versehen und werden elektrisch, hydraulisch oder pneumatisch angetrieben.
Die verwendeten Schneidwerkzeuge sind:
-   Kreissägen;
-   Spalter.
Drei Maschinentypen müssen betrachtet werden (siehe Bild 1 bis 11):
-   Maschinen zum Spalten von Schweinekörpern, Typ A (Spalter);
-   Maschinen zum Spalten von Schweinekörpern, Typ B (Kreissäge);
-   Maschinen zum Spalten von Rinderkörpern, Typ C (Kreissäge).
Es werden zwei Funktionsabläufe unterschieden:
-   Die Tierkörper können in Ruhestellung gespaltet werden. (Im Allgemeinen hängen sie an einem takt-geförderten Transportsystem);
-   Die Tierkörper können auch gespalten werden, während sie kontinuierlich mit einem Förderer bewegt werden; in diesem Falle bewegt sich das Spaltwerkzeug synchron mit dem Tierkörper.

In addition, the machine shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100-2 for hazards relevant but not significant, which are not dealt with by this document (e. g. sharp edges). NOTE Or the machine should be designed for hazards which are to be reduced by the application of a B-level standard such as EN ISO 13857, EN 614-1, EN 953, EN ISO 13849-1, EN 1088, EN 1672-2, EN 60204-1, EN ISO 4287 etc. The manufacturer should carry out a risk assessment to establish the requirements of the B-standard which are to be applied. This specific risk assessment should be part of the general risk assessment of the machine. Where reducing the risk is by a safe system of working the machinery, the manufacturer shall include in the Information for use details of the system and of the elements of training required by the operating personnel. 5.2 Mechanical hazards 5.2.1 Zone 1: Effective range of splitting tool (see Figure 5)
