Dinnissen introduces safety interlock feature for its Ultra Dust-Free Pegasus® Mixer
In order to further optimise product safety and quality and to further minimise the percentage of rework, Dinnissen is introducing a safety interlock feature for its Pegasus® Mixer.
The bottom valves of the Pegasus® range of mixersare opened and closed with the help of compressed air. If the supply of compressed air is suddenly interrupted as a result of a power failure or a break in the supply line of compressed air, the bottom valves may unintentionally open.
Hence, the safety interlock feature serves as a mechanical lock that automatically secures the bottom valves if the supply of compressed air is interrupted. This ensures that no products can leak away to other parts of the production process which do not comply with the required quality standards. Dinnissenhas already used a comparable safety feature for its large-scale projects.
