Food processing machinery - Salad dryers - Safety and hygiene requirements
This document specifies the safety and hygiene requirements for the design and manufacture of salad dryers taking account of installation, cleaning, removal of jammed food, feeding, maintenance and decommissioning. The spinning function is obtained by the rotation of a perforated basket in which the product being processed is placed.
It applies to machines:
- which are intended for use in the commercial and institutional catering industry;
- having a rotation speed between 300 rpm and 900 rpm;
- having a nominal output below 2 kW;
- having a nominal volume of the basket less than 100 l.
These machines can be stationary or movable.
The machines concerned by this document are those appliances which are intended for eliminating by spinning the water present on salad after washing. These machines can also be used for spinning other vegetables such as spinach, watercress, radish, French beans, etc.
The machines covered by this document are not intended to be cleaned with water jet.
This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to salad dryers, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
NOTE If the machine is not used under above conditions, the manufacturer should verify, when he is informed of such situation, if the preventive measures remain valid (see 3.22 of EN ISO 12100-1:2003).
The feeding principle of the machine can be notably:
- manual loading into the basket left in position in the machine;
- placing in and withdrawal from the machine of the loaded basket.
1.2 Noise is not considered to be a significant hazard with salad dryers. This does not mean that the manufacturer of these machines is absolved from reducing noise and making a noise declaration. Therefore a noise test code is proposed in Annex A.
1.3 Vibrations are not considered as a hazard with these machines.

Machines pour les produits alimentaires - Essoreuses à salade - Prescriptions relatives à la sécurité et à l'hygiène
1.1 Le présent document spécifie les prescriptions de sécurité et d'hygiène relatives à la conception et
à la fabrication des essoreuses à salade en tenant compte de l’installation, du nettoyage et du débourrage,
de l’alimentation, de la maintenance et de la mise hors service. L’essorage est obtenu par la mise en rotation
d’un panier ajouré où est placé le produit à traiter.
Il s’applique aux machines :
— destinées à être utilisées dans la restauration commerciale et collective ;
— ayant une vitesse de rotation comprise entre 300 tr/min et 900 tr/min ;
— ayant une puissance nominale inférieure à 2 kW ;
— ayant un panier de volume inférieur à 100 l.
Ces machines peuvent être fixes ou mobiles.
Les machines concernées par le présent document sont les appareils destinés à éliminer par essorage l'eau présente
sur les feuilles de salade après lavage. Ces machines peuvent également servir à essorer d'autres légumes tels que :
épinards, cresson, radis, haricots verts, etc.
Les machines couvertes par le présent document ne sont pas destinées à être lavées au jet.
!La présente Norme européenne traite tous les phénomènes dangereux, situations et événements dangereux
significatifs spécifiques aux essoreuses à salade lorsqu’elles sont utilisées comme prévu et dans les conditions
de mauvais usage raisonnablement prévisibles par le fabricant (voir l’Article 4)."
NOTE Si la machine n'est pas utilisée dans les conditions définies ci-dessus, il convient que le fabricant, lorsqu'il est informé
d'une telle situation, vérifie que les mesures préventives restent valables (voir 3.22 de l’EN ISO 12100-1:2003).
Le principe d'approvisionnement de la machine peut se faire notamment :
— par apport manuel dans le panier laissé en place dans la machine ;
— par mise en place et retrait du panier chargé, dans la machine.
Stroji za predelavo hrane - Odcejalniki za solato - Varnostne in higienske zahteve (vključno z dopolnilom A1)
Ta dokument določa varnostne in higienske zahteve za načrtovanje in izdelavo odcejalnikov za solato ob upoštevanju postavitve, čiščenja, odstranitve zagozdene hrane, polnjenja, vzdrževanja in izločitvijo iz uporabe. Rotirajoča funkcija je dosežena z rotirajočo perforirano košaro, v katero je vstavljen proizvod v predelavi. Velja za naprave: - ki so namenjene za uporabo v komercialni in institucionalni gostinski industriji; - ki imajo rotacijsko hitrost med 300 obratov/minuto in 900 obratov/minuto; - ki imajo nominalen izhod pod 2 kW; - ki imajo nominalno prostornino košare manjšo od 100 l. Te naprave so lahko stacionarne ali prenosljive. Naprave, za katere se uporablja ta dokument, so gospodinjske naprave, ki so namenjene odstranitvi vode, ki je prisotna na solati po pranju, z vrtenjem. Te naprave se prav tako lahko uporabljajo za vrtenje druge zelenjave, kot je na primer špinača, vodna kreša, radič, navadni fižol itd. Naprave, zajete v tem dokumentu, niso namenjene za čiščenje z vodnim curkom. Ta evropski standard obravnava velike nevarnosti, nevarne situacije in primere, ki se nanašajo na odcejalnike za solato, kadar se uporabljajo kot predvideno in pod pogoji napačne uporabe, ki jih razumno predvidi proizvajalec (glej Klavzulo 4). Princip polnjenja naprave je lahko predvsem: - ročno zlaganje v košaro, ki ostane v napravi; - vstavitev in odstranitev napolnjene košare iz naprave. Hrup pri odcejalnikih za solato se ne šteje kot velika nevarnost. To ne pomeni, da je proizvajalec stroja oproščen zmanjševanja hrupa in priprave označbe hrupa. Zato je koda preskusa hrupa predlagana v Dodatku A. Vibracije se ne štejejo kot nevarnost pri teh napravah. Ta dokument ne velja za naprave, ki so bile izdelane pred datumom, ko je CEN objavil ta dokument.
