Abstract
A treatment or manufacturing installation in a working area, comprising at least one machine having at least one workstation, particularly a beverage bottle treatment or manufacturing machine, which is fixedly disposed on a floor area, and comprising a machine protection device which comprises panes which cover at least the workstation in a supporting frame which comprises vertical pillars and which defines an area.
Claims15
A treatment or manufacturing installation in a working area, comprising a machine having at least one workstation, particularly a beverage bottle treatment or manufacturing machine, which is fixedly disposed on a floor area, and comprising a machine protection device which has panes, which cover the work station at least, in a supporting frame which defines an area and which comprises vertical pillars, characterised by the following features:
- a) the supporting frame (T) stands with its vertical pillars (C) on the floor area (1), and the supporting frame is matched to the contour of the machine (B) on the floor area, in an autonomously stable manner as a machine protection device and optionally as a clean room boundary (VR), by an angle (H) between adjacent areas (B) and by transverse connections (2) between vertical pillars (C), with an intermediate spacing to the floor area contour of the machine (B),
- b) the panes (E) are frameless safety glass planes (G1, G2), each of which is anchored at a distance (X) above the floor area (1) to at least one vertical pillar (C), and
- c) the inner faces (J) of the panes (E) which face the machine (B) are freely accessible from the machine (B) side as far as the pane edges (5, 12).
A machine protection device comprising a supporting frame having transparent panes in a vertical pillar, characterised in that the panes are frameless safety glass panes (G1,G2), and are anchored fixedly, or so that they can swivel, to vertical pillars (C), which stand directly on the floor area (1) separate from the machine (B), at a distance behind said vertical pillars and at a distance above the floor area (1), that the supporting frame ends freely at the top and is autonomously stable due to angles (H) and transverse connections (Q) formed in its course between areas (D), and that the inner faces (J) of the safety glass panes (G1, G2) which face the machine (B) are freely accessible as far as the pane edges (12, 15) and optionally define, together with the supporting frame (T), a clean room boundary.
