In some inst allat ions, the use of a barrier
guard may not be possible due to t he loca-

adequately guarded to prevent accidental
contact by personnel working around the

DANGER
DIE GAP CLEANING
During oper ation of the extr usion coat er-
laminator, the internals of the die may be-
come contam inated result ing in impur ities
in the melt curtain. If this happens, the
extruder stat ion must be taken off line and
the die cleaned. NEVER attempt to clean
the die or die gap while the extruder sta-
tion is on line (posit ioned over the coater-
laminator stat ion).
F AILURE TO FOLLOW THESE S AFETY
RECOMMEND ATIONS COULD RESULT I N
SERIOUS PERSON AL INJURY
WARNING
DROOL REMOVAL
On occasion on older style extrusion dies,
drool f rom the edge of the die will appear
during normal oper ation. If the drool is al-
lowed to dr ip into the nip it may damage or
spoil the product. To prevent spoiling t he
product oper ators will manually remove the
drool. This edge dr ool is hot. Operators
must never remove drool by hand even
with the hand protected by a glove. Al-
ways use a tool to protect the operat or
f rom the hot polymer and the in-going nip
located below the die.

ROLL WRAP-UPS
In the event of a roll wrap-up, NEVER at-
tempt to remove the wr ap-up while the ma-
chine is running. W hen a wrap-up occur s,
immediately shut the line down and back
the extruders of f line. On newer m a-
chines, the chill roll drive is provided with
a reverse jog pushbutton to enable the op-
erator to remove the wrap-up f rom outside
the machine. If the operator must ent er
the machine to rem ove the wr ap-up, open
the nip and lock out the air supply and
drive bef ore attempting to r emove the
wr ap-up. Use caution in r emoving the
wr ap-up so as not t o damage the roll sur-
f aces.

WARNING
ROLL REPLACEMENT
Rolls may require replacement because of
damage or because a product change re-
quires a dif f erent surf ace f eature. Bef ore
changing a roll, shut the line down, open
the nips, and lock out the drive and contr ol
system. If the roll is a cooled roll, valve
off the cooling supply and return. Use ap-
propriate lif ting equipment and proceed
with caut ion. Do not remove your lockouts

TEFLON BELT SYSTEM
Tef lon belt systems are somet imes used to
help prevent wrap- ups on the pressure r oll
f rom heavy edge bead. Bef ore replacing a
belt, shut the line down, open the nips,

WARNING
INFRARED HEATER
Inf rared heaters are used to help promote
adhesion to som e webs. The heating ele-
ments are ver y hot . Never place your
hand at the point where t he web passes
under the heater. Do not expose yourself
to the element side of the heater unless
the power is locked out and the unit has

DANGER
HIGH TEMPERATURE POLYMER
The melt curtain exiting the die is ex-
tremely hot and could be in the range of
600° F (315°C). Keep clear of the polymer
at all times even when of f machine drool-
ing. Even a slight draf t is enough to blow
the melt curtain a f ew f eet and onto any
person in the near vicinit y.

F AILURE TO KEEP CLE AR OF THE EX-
TRUDED POLYM ER WILL RESULT IN
VERY SERIOUS BURNS TO THE BODY.
WARNING
SLITTERS
Slitters are used to trim the edges of the
product. Slitters ar e shar p by their very
nature and must be guarded when not in
use, avoided when in use, and handled
with cut resistant gloves during replace-
ment and sharpening .
F AILURE TO FOLLOW THESE S AFETY
RECOMMEND ATIONS COULD RESULT I N
SERIOUS PERSON AL INJURY.
WARNING
OZONE
Ozone generators are used to help pro-
mote adhesion to some webs by f looding
the nip point with t he invisible gas. O zone
in suff icient concentrations is known to
cause headache, nausea, and may result
in more ser ious br eathing diff icult ies in
cases of ver y high concentrat ions. O zone
use must be car ef ully monit ored and any
excess must be ducted out of the area.
Ozone generators must be inter locked to
prevent operation if the exhaust syst em is
off or off line.

WARNING
INSERTING SLIP SHEETS
To check f or the extruded polymer coat
weight or adhesion, operators have been
known to insert a "slip sheet" by hand at
the in-going nip below the die as illus-
trated in f igure (6a). This is a dangerous
practice and must be discontinued.
The slip sheet must be attached to a new
product roll at the unwind pr ior to splicing.
If this is impractical operat ors must use a
tool f or inserting the "slip sheet" similar to
the one illustrated in f igure (6b).

CARRIAGE RETRACTION
The extruder(s) and die are usually
mounted on a carriage base that can be
retracted to an off line position f or die
cleaning, threading up, or f or other pur-
poses. These carr iages must be provided
with pre-motion and motion alarms, audi-
ble and visual, as well as a stop cord on
each end to minimize the r isk of injury to
unseen persons. Exposed wheel to track

DRAW-DOWN ADJUSTMENT
The relat ionship bet ween the die and t he
chill roll is adjustable f or optimum per-
f ormance and to minimize the risk of ma-
chine damage when going on and off line.
Operators must ensure that personnel are
clear bef ore making adjustments. Saf ety
