1.1 This standard applies for
curing injection machines with infeed and outfeed devices
curing injection machines with infeed and outfeed devices and loading devices
This standard does not apply to portable/hand guided curing injection devices.
This standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to machines, appliances and machinery, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to curing injection machinery, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
This document is not applicable to curing injection machines which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.
1.2 This standard covers the following types of curing injection machines:
Curing injection machines consist mainly of a single or multilane curing needle station, holding down clamp, infeed and outfeed devices, machine frame and related drive system, and electrical, electronic, or pneumatic components, depending on machine type.
Curing injection machines in the scope of this standard can be equipped with:
infeed chute;
splash guard flaps;
single or multi-lane curing needle bars (needle station);
holding down clamp;
infeed and outfeed conveyor belt;
infeed and outfeed rake;
interlocked transport car at the outfeed side;
loading device with delivery chute.
The product being processed (raw meat, game or raw fish) is fed by hand to the infeed device of the curing injection machine. The infeed device transports the product to the needle station; the product is then pressed against the infeed device by a holding down clamp. The needles of the needle station inject the curing liquid or other fluids into the product. (continued)
