Many labor accidents, such as those involving machinery entrapment, occur not during operation but during maintenance or adjustment of the machinery. During maintenance or adjustment, safety covers may be removed, and if the machinery operates unexpectedly, workers are exposed to significant danger. Risk assessments need to consider not only operational scenarios but also maintenance and adjustment situations. In addition to electricity, "hydraulic and pneumatic energy" is widely used, and risk assessments must take all forms of energy into account. This document presents international standards that serve as a guide for reducing the risk of labor accidents caused by hydraulic and pneumatic energy, as well as methods for risk assessment and key points for risk evaluation, all in a substantial volume of 96 pages. 【What is machine safety?】 It is the concept of reducing the risk of labor accidents (machine accidents) by designing equipment that anticipates risks from "operator mistakes or misoperations" and "failures of the machinery itself." 【Contents included】 ■ International standards related to hydraulic and pneumatic safety ■ Safety construction process ■ Risk assessment ■ Selection of safety functions ■ Selection of pneumatic safety valves ■ Selection of hydraulic safety functions ■ Safety design ■ Design verification, etc.

Air Sweep instantly releases compressed air in a 360-degree direction along the inner walls of the material container, powerfully resolving stubborn powder blockages. This case introduces the resolution of blockage issues at a cement plant in the very humid Philippines. Due to the high moisture content in the air, the cement material was solidifying, leading to the introduction of knockers and vibrators; however, workers ultimately had to "hammer the silo." As a countermeasure, 12 units of the Air Sweep model VA-51 were installed. The blockage problem that had troubled the company for years was resolved in just four days! Additionally, the "noise" issue associated with knockers and vibrators was also eliminated. This customer plans to expand the energy-efficient Air Sweep to other plants as well.

"Machine safety" refers to the efforts to avoid accidents and disasters that may occur when using machinery through machine design. Even if there are operator mistakes, misoperations, or failures of the machinery itself, if the design and equipment are implemented with these risks in mind, it becomes possible to reduce the risk of accidents. ~The Importance of Risk Assessment for Pneumatic and Hydraulic Equipment~ In production facilities and various machines, pneumatic and hydraulic energy is widely used in addition to electricity. For example, even if electrical control equipment is established for safety, if the final drive device, which is the pneumatic or hydraulic equipment, breaks down, the facility may become unsafe. This document introduces international standards to refer to for preventing machine disasters in hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, methods for risk assessment, key points for risk evaluation, and specific measures for reducing pneumatic and hydraulic risks, all in a substantial 96-page volume.

**Problem** In cement manufacturing, crushed stone is mixed with iron ore and fly ash and melted in a kiln at a high temperature of 2700 degrees. One of the by-products of this process is clinker. Clinker consists of gray, marble-sized balls that pass through a cooler, are crushed, and mixed with other materials to be used as a binder in cement. Clinker is sticky at high temperatures and prone to wear, making it easy to adhere to containers and chutes. Heidelberg Cement attempted to blast the blocks with two air blasters, but it was unsuccessful. To solve this problem, human intervention was still necessary. "We were breaking up the material in the tube with long sticks." **Solution** Heidelberg Cement needed a more reliable material flow activation device that could eliminate all clumps of material. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

The typical application of the DM2 series C valve is to shut off the compressed air energy supplied from the air inlet while dissipating the energy on the secondary side of the valve. When safety events occur, such as the opening of guard doors or the operation of emergency stop devices, this valve dissipates the downstream pressure of the system and removes the pneumatic energy. There are two common questions regarding the integration of this valve into safety systems. "Why does the valve not have two feedback switches for monitoring by the safety system?" "How should the downstream pressure be monitored by the safety system?" To answer these two questions, some information about the valve's function is necessary. We provide a detailed explanation in this document, so please take a look. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

This solution allows for the bursting of compressed air or inert gas at regular intervals, enabling the compressed air (or inert gas) to penetrate between the container walls and the material, lifting the material away from the walls and stirring it, thereby eliminating ridges and rat holes. By flowing compressed air (or inert gas) along the walls of the container and blowing away the material adhered to the walls, it contributes to the internal cleaning of the container and prevents material contamination between batches. ★We offer improvement proposals!★ If you provide the following information, we will submit a "Proposal for Improvement" summarizing product selection and effective installation methods for containers.

Asphalt is made up of aggregates, sand, and asphalt cement, and these materials tend to become compacted and clumped together in silos. In the asphalt product factory in Mexico, despite the installation of electric vibrators, workers continued to have to hit the silos with hammers or climb into the silos to clean them. Therefore, the "AirSweep Model VA-51 Unit" was introduced. As a result, time, energy, and money were saved from maintenance costs, and losses from downtime were reduced. Additionally, workers were able to work safely and focus on their primary tasks. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

At the Service Concrete company's ready-mix concrete plant, wet sand was sticking to the container and causing bridging at the top of the pants-leg type outlet, resulting in significant delays in batching and filling transport mixing trucks. To address this, an efficient and effective system was designed, consisting of one "VA-51 AirSweep" directly above the pants-leg outlet, along with an "MCA-45T solenoid valve" and a "CBO 1-12 control box." As a result, it became possible to instantly flow sand as needed. Trucks are filled without delays or additional work and can start moving as scheduled. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

To manufacture high-quality cement, ready-mix concrete plants often mix fly ash into their products. A concrete company in Pennsylvania had six ready-mix concrete plants but was struggling with bridging issues of fly ash in the containers. Therefore, they installed four "AirSweep units" in one of the fly ash storage containers at the plant. After installation, the fly ash moved very smoothly from the container to the ready-mix trucks, resulting in a 60% increase in production. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

Many materials used in the food processing industry have high oil and moisture content, making them prone to bridging, sticking to walls, and clogging. The company uses a vacuum conveying system that processes materials at a speed of 6,000 pounds per hour. When materials clog, it wastes time, labor, and materials. Therefore, they introduced six "AirSweep VA-06" units. These products are arranged in pairs at the top, middle, and bottom of the hopper to ensure a continuous flow and prevent the product from solidifying. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

For pet food manufacturers, avoiding cross-contamination is central to the manufacturing process. "Bulk material flow issues," such as rat holes, bridging, and other material blockages, reduce the flow of materials through the processing system and increase the likelihood of cross-contamination. In 2018, research was conducted to replace the ineffective material activation system in use at the time with a new system, planning the introduction of "AirSweep." By converting pet food ingredients from vibrators and air hammers to this unit, the processing system has become more efficient and safe in its flow. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*
