Machines for the manufacture of constructional products from concrete and calcium-silicate - Safety - Part 7: Stationary and mobile equipment for long line manufacture of prestressed products
This European Standard is intended to be used together with EN 12629-1:2000 "Machines for the manufacture of constructional products from concrete and calcium-silicate - Safety - Part 1: Common requirements", which specifies general requirements of machines for the manufacture of constructional products from concrete and calcium-silicate.
The manufacturing bed is a machine with which other associated machines work simultaneously. Moreover, these machines are generally used on beds installed in parallel.
This standard gives particular requirements for the design of the following machines:
- Pre-stressing bed (schematic representation is given in annex A);
- Bed sweeper, vacuum cleaner, oiler, wire-guide machine (schematic representation is given in annex B);
- Bed layout machine (schematic representation is given in annex C);
- Strand pushing/pulling machine (schematic representation is given in annex D);
- Spinner, extruder, vibrodistributor (schematic representation is given in annex E);
- Tarpaulin paying out and winding in machine (schematic representation is given in annex F);
- Sawing machine (schematic representation is given in annex G).
NOTE The manufacturing operations include some or all of the following:
- treating pre-stressing bed with release agent;
- "marking out" the elements (slabs, plain slabs, etc.) to be made;
- running the pre-stressing strands;
- pre-tensioning;
- installing the shutterings, (formwork, side shutters, end plates and inserts)
- fixing reinforcement;
- tensioning;
- concrete distribution and compaction;
- winding out the tarpaulin;
- heating;
- detensioning;
- removal of shettering, formwork, etc. ;
- strands cutting or sawing;
- removal of final products;
- bed cleaning.
The concrete supply interface which is taken into account for safety is also considered.
