How to Avoid Composite Autoclave Machine Accidents?

Composite autoclave machine (also called carbon fiber autoclave) is a kind of pressure vessel equipment. Users should pay special attention to the safety of related pressure vessel operation during its use, except the safety of conventional equipment. The main manifestation is the explosion or explosion caused by the of hyperpressure inside the autoclave machine or leakage accidents, so it is necessary to formulate corresponding precautions in order to safely carry out the production work of autoclave machine curing. There are related autoclave machine explosions and leaks in the past. Today, we will briefly discuss how to avoid autoclave machine accidents.

1. The operator must strictly abide by the technological process and labor discipline, and operate in strictly accordance with the safety technical operating procedures. Not only the operators, but also the management personnel of the enterprise must understand the basic knowledge of autoclave machine, related laws and regulations. The operators of autoclave machine must be trained and certified. The safety interlock alarm device can not changed on the autoclave machine at will. It is necessary to purchase composite autoclave machine products with qualifications for designing and manufacturing autoclave machine .

2. Before production, the autoclave machine must be carefully inspected and the obstacles must be removed in the autoclave machine to make sure that the tank cover is fastened during each production, and the screws should be complete and intact. The auxiliary instruments, signals, pressure gauges, and safety valves of the equipment should be checked regularly. Lubricate mechanical bearings as required. It is strictly forbidden to continue working when the autoclave machine is leaking, the pressure gauges and the safety valve are malfunctioning, or other abnormal conditions. It will need strictly control the feeding amount, speed, sequence, temperature, pressure, etc., to prevent the temperature and pressure in the tank from rising sharply and over-temperature and differential pressure.

3. When the material enters into and exitsoutthe autoclave machine, the bridge rails should be laid flat and straight, the trolley should be pulled and steadily pushed over the rails. Rapid collisions are not allowed to prevent dumping and injury. After the working process of thermo-compression curing is completed, it is necessary to confirm that there is no residual pressure before opening the middle and inlet seals, otherwise it is strictly prohibited to open the tank. Tighten the nuts evenly when the tank seamed, and there should be no air leakage. The air intake should be slow and take attention to the reading of the pressure gauge, also pay attention to whether if the pressure gauge fails. During work, if there is a strong leak in pipelines, valves, instruments and tanks should close the valve immediately and open the exhaust valve, report for repair in time.

4. When people at work, you must concentrate and always pay attention to the operation of the equipment and the surrounding safety. When autoclave machine is working, the operator should patrol the side of the autoclave machine.It is forbidden to stand in front of the tank cover, behind the machine head and the joints of the tank cover. It will also need pay attention to the valve and pipe joints to prevent the high temperature and high pressure in the tank from rushing out and hurting people. It is not allowed to leave the post while working. When filling and unloading cans, you must cooperate closely with the operators and follow the safety operation regulations.

5. At the end of the work, you should turn off the power switch, check whether all buttons and handles are in the zero position. It must close all inlet valves of the autoclave machine and open the exhaust valve. Carefully make process records and handover records. Resting and drying clothes in the autoclave is prohibited. It is strictly forbidden to bake other items in an empty.

6. It should perform regular inspections to ensure the safe and effective use of autoclave machine, safety valves, pressure gauges, and quick-opening alarm devices. Prohibit flames, and ground them well to prevent static electricity.
