Potential safety hazard of peanut sheller machine at work
Peanut sheller machine is a common agricultural machinery and equipment, which is used to remove the hard shell of peanuts. Although it is very helpful in processing peanuts, however, when using peanut sheller, there are some potential safety hazards that need attention.
First of all, the rotating parts of the peanut sheller may cause injuries. Because the peanut sheller needs to rotate to complete the work, if the worker accidentally puts his hand into the machine, he may be caught or cut by the rotating parts. In order to avoid this, workers should be alert when operating the peanut sheller and don’t put their hands into the machine.
Secondly, peanut sheller uses electricity or fuel as power source, so special attention should be paid to electrical and fire safety when using it. If there is a problem with the wire or fuel pipe of the peanut shelling machine, it may cause a fire or electric shock accident. In order to prevent this from happening, the staff should regularly check the wires and fuel pipes of the peanut shelling machine, and pay attention to the use of wires and fuel pipes that meet safety standards.
Thirdly, the peanut sheller machine will produce noise and dust when it works, which will also affect the health of workers. Prolonged exposure to noise and dust can lead to health problems such as hearing loss and respiratory diseases. In order to protect the health of workers, proper protective equipment, such as earplugs and masks, should be worn when operating the peanut shelling machine.
Some other safety matters should be paid attention to during the use of peanut sheller machine. For example, when cleaning the peanut sheller, we should cut off the power supply or close the fuel valve first, and don’t flush the machine directly with water. In addition, it is also necessary to follow the relevant safety regulations and operating procedures when maintaining the peanut sheller machine.
Finally, peanut sheller machine also needs regular maintenance during use. If the machine is not cleaned and lubricated regularly, there may be problems such as jamming and failure, which will not only affect the work efficiency, but also increase the security risks. Therefore, when using the peanut sheller, it must be maintained according to the requirements in the manual.
In a word, peanut sheller machine is a very practical agricultural machinery, but it needs to pay attention to the safety hazards during use. Only by fully understanding and mastering safety knowledge and operating and maintaining in strict accordance with operating procedures can work efficiency and personal safety be ensured.
