EN 12301:2000+A1:2008 (E) 4 Introduction This European standard is a type C standard as described in !EN ISO 12100". The extent to which hazards are covered is indicated in the scope of this standard. In addition, machinery shall comply as appropriate with !EN ISO 12100" for hazards which are not covered by this standard. 1 Scope This European standard specifies safety requirements relating to the design and construction of multi-roll calenders intended for the processing of rubber or plastics. This standard concerns the calender alone including all components fixed to its frame. Annex A shows examples of various types of calenders and annex B shows examples of calendaring processes. The following machines are excluded:  two-roll calenders forming an integral unit with an extruder (roller head);  two or three-roll polishing , laminating or embossing units (which are not calenders) installed downstream of extruders in film processing lines. This standard deals with the significant hazards listed in clause 4. The following hazards are not dealt with:  hazards generated by the materials being processed (see informative annex C);  hazards generated by the processing of explosive materials, or materials which give rise to an explosive atmosphere;  fire hazards due to ignition of flammable materials by contact with hot parts of the calender (e.g. in case of oil leakage);  hazards due to electromagnetic, laser or ionising radiation;  hazards generated if the calender is installed in an explosive atmosphere. This standard applies to machinery manufactured after the date of approval of this standard by CEN. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies. !deleted text" SIST EN 12301:2000+A1:2008

EN 12301:2000+A1:2008 (E) 9 Annex B shows examples of various calendering processes. 3.2 frame fixed part of the calender housing the calender roll bearings, some of the secondary roller bearings and ancillary equipment 3.3 calender roll a roll with an even, polished or sandblasted surface which is held in place and positioned in relation to other calender rolls by guide bearings in the frame. The roll may be counterbored or drilled to enable its temperature to be controlled by fluid circulation 3.4 secondary roller a roller, other than a calender roll, which is used in the calendering process. It may be driven and may be temperature regulated. Examples of secondary rollers are: pressure rollers, embossing rollers, filament guide rollers, tension rollers, stripper rollers, crease removing rollers, take-off rollers. 3.5 ancillary equipment the following ancillary equipment is dealt with in this standard: 3.5.1 cutting equipment equipment for trimming the edges of the sheet to a specified width. This equipment can also cut the sheet into two or more widths. There are different types of cutting equipment for example:  fixed knives (wires or blades);  rotating knives (cutting discs). 3.5.2 stock guides devices located on either side of the feed zone which determine the width of the sheet to be calendered and retain the stock thus preventing it from extending beyond the normal working area 3.5.3 feeding device equipment for feeding and distributing the stock in the feed zone for example: table, grid, chute, conveyor, reciprocating feed conveyor 3.6 calender roll speed circumferential speed of rolls v expressed in m/min. The following speeds are used in this standard:
 slow speed vl: roll speed for production start-up;  maximum speed vmax: highest roll speed given by the manufacturer;  production speed vp: speed between vl and vmax;  reduced speed vr: roll speed used when approach by the operator is necessary for production purposes 3.7 stopping angle the angle through which the fastest calender roll rotates during the time between actuation of the safety device or emergency stop actuator and bringing the rolls to rest by braking SIST EN 12301:2000+A1:2008



EN 12301:2000+A1:2008 (E) 10 This angle is measured with the calender running empty and the cylinders rotating at maximum speed vmax (see 3.6). The following stopping angles are used in this standard:  specified stopping angle α : the stopping angle specified by the machine manufacturer;  maximum stopping angle αmax: the upper limit value of the stopping angle;  reduced stopping angle αr: the stopping angle achieved when the rolls are rotating at the reduced speed vr. 3.8 nip adjusting device a device for changing the relative position of the rolls to each other by increasing or decreasing the roll nip 3.9 feed zone zone in which stock (rubber or plastic etc) and/or material (cords, web, fabric etc) is fed into the calender. A calender may have one or more feed zones 3.10 discharge zone zone in which the calendered product is discharged 3.11 working zone area of the calender where the operators carry out their normal duties. A calender may have several working zones 3.12 trapping zone at the calender rolls a trapping zone exists when two calender rolls close to each other rotate in opposite directions towards the nip, thus creating a drawing-in and crushing hazard The trapping zone is the volume circumscribed by the length X of the rolls and by the cross-section dimensioned S and L (see figure 2):  S shall be taken as 12 mm when the rolls are theoretically in contact, irrespective of the roll diameter;  L = D6; where the roll diameters are different D shall be taken as the larger diameter. An example for the calculation of L is given in annex D;  L remains constant irrespective of the nip between the rolls.

The danger zone is the volume at the inrunning side of the rolls circumscribed by the length X of the rolls and the shaded cross-section (figures 3 and 7a). This section is delimitated by:  the line dimensioned S at the entrance to the trapping zone (see 3.12);  the two arcs of circle on the calender rolls corresponding with the specified stopping angle α (see 3.7);  the arc of a circle whose centre is the middle of the line dimensioned S and whose radius F is equivalent to the length of the arcs of circle on the calender rolls corresponding with the specified stopping angle α.
