Bollegraaf - Model BOSS 2.0 - Recycling Equipment Safety System
From Others
Recycling company workers are exposed to significant health and safety hazards in the workplace with heavy machinery such as balers, conveyors and shredders. By taking additional, precautionary measures, dangerous situations and potential accidents can be avoided. B.O.S.S. 2.0 ensures your sorting and recycling system complies with the European safety standard EN 16252:2013, and that safety requirements are met. The standard states that horizontal balers, fed by conveyors, require additional emergency stop devices to be fitted to protect a fallen person on the conveyor. B.O.S.S. 2.0 provides a very good solution to make your system EN 16252:2013 compliant, especially if the horizontal section of a feeding conveyor is placed in a pit. The system is certified according to the EN ISO 13849-1 PL c safety standard.
How does it Work?
Employees who work in the pre-determined protective zone around the machine in question wear a chargeable operator badge. This operator badge is programmable, and adjustable up a range of 15m.

The system monitors the position of the operator and ensures that when an operator is in a hazardous area, e.g. the press or shredder units, the machine is brought to a halt. The badges and the antenna on the installation have an invisible detection field. If these two fields overlap the badge will produce an audible warning and will vibrate. The signalling unit on the installation will put out an optical and acoustic alarm and will bring the installation or machine to a halt through the emergency stop circuit.
