Safety comes first!
Ravago Arendonk
Our largest PE recycling line in Europe is being replaced. Part of this installation consists of a foil shredder with a chain conveyor belt. This chain conveyor belt starts from below the floor level. Because this belt is automatically controlled from a level determination in the shredder, there was a great need for a safety system on top of the standard emergency stop pull cords.
A safety system which protects the operator should he be unable to operate the emergency stop pull cords. But also a safety system that does not disturb the normal operation of the installation and thus acts in the background. To meet this need, BOA delivered a PSS I-BOR 17 personal safety system and 12 sets of P-TAG.
Smooth installation and integration into our current system
Ravago Arendonk
The reason we chose BOA has to do with several reasons. The performance level D and SIL 2 (redundant system), which indicates in time if only 1 of the 2 badges is worn, was one of the main reasons. Moreover, it is a Benelux company with a long history with Ravago Arendonk. We also expect good service should this prove necessary.
By a smooth installation and integration in our current system, taking into account a recycling line that was still running, BOA provided the perfect solution.
