Starting materials and blanks intended for the implementation of the technological process, finished products must comply with the safe conduct of the technological process. Therefore, it is necessary to comply following conditions.

Storage of raw materials, blanks, semi-finished products, finished products and production waste should provide for the use of storage methods that exclude the occurrence of hazardous and harmful production factors. In this case, it is necessary to use safe devices for storing the listed objects, as well as mechanization and automation of loading and unloading operations.

When transporting raw materials, blanks, semi-finished products, finished products and production waste, it is necessary to ensure the use of safe transport communications, means of transportation that exclude the occurrence of hazardous and harmful production factors, as well as the use of mechanization and automation of transportation, the use of automatic control and diagnostics to prevent the formation of explosive environment.

In production, there must be a complete list of used raw materials of basic and auxiliary materials, which includes:

description of raw materials and materials indicating their name, state registration number, marking, possible suppliers;
requirements for the quality of raw materials and materials, including additional ones, taking into account the specifics of production;
conditions and periods of storage, measures for the safe handling of raw materials and materials.

If the production is diversified, a similar list is compiled for individual workshops, technological processes.

In addition, the enterprise must have duly approved documentation, sanitary and epidemiological conclusions for all types of raw materials and materials used in the technological process.

Starting materials and blanks intended for conducting the technological process, finished products must comply with the safe conduct of the technological process. For materials that are usually delivered in bulk (crushed stone, gravel, sand, clay, etc.), it is necessary to use mechanized methods of loading and unloading. Powder and bulk materials (cement, gypsum, phosphate rock, etc.) are transported in special rail cars and cement trucks, which provide dust-free loading, transportation and unloading of materials.

Containers for the transportation of powder and bulk materials must be made of durable materials that ensure its integrity during loading and unloading operations. On the container for the transportation of raw materials, materials (bags, barrels, containers, etc.) there must be a clear, appropriate marking.

For the transport of toxic and aggressive liquid substances, special tanks must be used. The supply of substances to production facilities should be carried out through pipelines made of materials resistant to the action of chemical compounds and provided with reliable flanges and fittings, excluding leakage of these substances through leaks.

Delivery of aggressive liquids should be carried out in a special glass or plastic container equipped with a braid. Transportation of these liquids to the workshops should be carried out on special carts.

For transportation of liquefied gases in large quantities (more than 5 tons), special transport should be used. In the shops, with a large amount of consumption, gases must be supplied from storage tanks through pipelines, and at low consumption, they can be supplied in cylinders.

Transportation of dusty materials should be carried out by vacuum-pneumatic systems or by means of conveyors, completely covered and equipped with local exhaust ventilation.

Receiving tanks for technical liquids and liquefied gases must exceed the volume of transport tanks so that all the contents fill the tank, without additional operations associated with switching overflow pipes.

Tanks for receiving liquid toxic substances are equipped with level gauges and other devices that provide automatic closing valves and alarms to prevent their overflow.

The enterprise must have warehouses of sufficient capacity, equipped with hoisting and transport facilities, which allow fully mechanizing and securing the operations of unloading and loading raw materials and materials. Warehouses must be clean, dry, with sound roofs and floors, have illuminated passages and passages between racks, sections, entrance and exit openings, and be regularly cleaned and repaired.

Premises for storage of chemicals are equipped with racks, pallets, equipped with inventory, devices, PPE necessary for the safe handling of chemicals. Floors and walls in them must allow wet cleaning and be acid and alkali resistant.

Bulk materials are stored in closed, wind-protected warehouses. It is allowed to arrange open warehouses for materials coming in bulk, while the storage area must have a hard surface.

The supply of powder materials to warehouses and their unloading must be carried out by systems of pneumatic chutes, augers and pneumatic transport, provided with dedusting installations. The aspiration air from these systems must be cleaned of dust before it is released to the outside.

Warehouses for small-tonnage products are provided with vehicles and lifting mechanisms, depending on the dimensions, weight and purpose of the stored products.

Warehouses of toxic substances with mechanized supply should be connected by a direct telephone or other alarm system to the shops.

Warehouses for storage of toxic wastes of the first hazard class must be equipped with automatic gas analyzers for monitoring the air environment, interlocked with ventilation and sound alarm systems.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean.

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

VR headset from Korea Fuel-Tech Corporation 03.03.2022

The Korea Fuel-Tech Corporation, a South Korean auto parts company, has developed its own virtual reality headset that in some respects can compete with the products of IT giants.

The V300i prototype uses a special optical system to solve the problem of "failures" in the user's vestibular apparatus - this is often observed when using VR headsets. The model supports a resolution of 2160 x 2160 pixels and is able to provide an experience similar to those that arise when viewing images on a 300-inch display.

The prototype has an HDMI port and a wireless connection - the model can connect to TVs, PCs, monitors, game consoles and mobile devices. Korea Fuel-Tech Corporation, which produces components for electric and hydrogen vehicles, has already announced its intention to focus the company on the development of mobile entertainment systems.

It is expected that this year the volume of deliveries of virtual and augmented reality systems will reach 14,19 million units, 43,9% more than in the past. In 2023, shipments will increase to 18,81 million copies, their growth will be 32,56%.
