CEMA STANDARD NO: SCOM - 001Approved: September 19, 2012Copyright: September, 2012INTRODUCTIONThe Screw Conveyor and Bucket Elevator Engineering Committee of the CEMA(Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers Association) Engineering Conference wasassigned the task of bringing together, under one cover, the accumulated experienceof many individuals and their companies in an effort to provide a common basis forthe safety, operation and maintenance of screw conveyors.The CEMA Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual contains instructions for thesafe installation, operation and maintenance of screw conveyors. The reliability andservice life depend on the proper care taken while installing and preparing theequipment for its intended use.Read ALL instructions in this manual and manufacturer's manuals BEFORE installing,operating and maintaining the equipment.8

CEMA STANDARD NO: SCOM - 001Approved: September 19, 2012Copyright: September, 2012SECTION A - SAFETYScrew conveyor safety begins with a plan that considers every possible danger andpotential hazard. Operation and maintenance personnel must be thoroughly trainedin safe operating procedures, recognition of possible hazards, and maintenance ofa safe area around screw conveyors.CEMA has a comprehensive safety program that includes: Warning and Safety Reminder for Screw Conveyors, Drag Conveyors andBucket Elevators - (CEMA Document: SC2004-01) CEMA Safety Label Brochure - (CEMA Document: 201) CEMA Safety Label Placement Guidelines: Screw Conveyor - (CEMA Document: SC-2) Vertical Screw Conveyor - (CEMA Document: SC-3) Screw Conveyor Safety Poster - (CEMA Screw Conveyor Safety Poster) Screw Conveyor, Drag Conveyor and Bucket Elevator Safety Video (CEMA Document: AV6) This video describes key safety practices thatpersonnel must follow when operating and maintaining screw conveyors,drag conveyors and bucket elevators.Screw conveyor accidents can be avoided by implementation and enforcement ofan in-plant safety program. A number of safety precautions are included in thismanual. Carefully study and follow the safety precautions. Remember - accidentsare usually caused by negligence or carelessness.9

CEMA STANDARD NO: SCOM - 001Approved: September 19, 2012Copyright: September, 2012CEMA Document: SC 2004-01WARNING AND SAFETY REMINDERS FORSCREW , DRAG , AND BUCKET ELEVATOR CONVEYORSAPPROVED FOR DISTRIBUTION BY THE SCREW CONVEYOR SECTION OF THECONVEYOR EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION (CEMA)It is the responsibility of the contractor,installer, owner and user to install, maintainand operate the conveyor, components and,conveyor assemblies in such a manner as tocomply with the Occupational Safety andHealth Act and with all state and local lawsand ordinances and the American NationalStandards Institute (ANSI) B20.1 Safety Code.6. Do not place hands, feet, or any part ofyour body, in the conveyor.In order to avoid an unsafe or hazardouscondition, the assemblies or parts must beinstalled and operated in accordance with thefollowing minimum provisions.9. Do not poke or prod material into theconveyor with a bar or stick inserted throughthe openings.1. Conveyors shall not be operated unlessall covers and/or guards for the conveyor anddrive unit are in place. If the conveyor is to beopened for inspection cleaning, maintenanceor observation, the electric power to themotor driving the conveyor must be LOCKEDOUT in such a manner that the conveyorcannot be restarted by anyone; howeverremote from the area, until conveyor coveror guards and drive guards have been properlyreplaced.2. If the conveyor must have an openhousing as a condition of its use andapplication, the entire conveyor is then to beguarded by a railing or fence in accordancewith ANSI standard B20.1.(Request currentedition and addenda)3. Feed openings for shovel, front loadersor other manual or mechanical equipmentshall be constructed in such a way that theconveyor opening is covered by a grating. Ifthe nature of the material is such that agrating cannot be used, then the exposedsection of the conveyor is to be guarded by arailing or fence and there shall be a warningsign posted.4. Do not attempt any maintenance orrepairs of the conveyor until power has beenLOCKED OUT.5. Always operate conveyor in accordancewith these instructions and those containedon the caution labels affixed to theequipment.7. Never walk on conveyor covers, gratingor guards.8. Do not use conveyor for any purposeother than that for which it was intended.10. Keep area around conveyor drive andcontrol station free of debris and obstacles.11. Eliminate all sources of stored energy(materials or devices that could causeconveyor components to move without powerapplied) before opening the conveyor12. Do not attempt to clear a jammedconveyor until power has been LOCKED OUT.13. Do not attempt field modification ofconveyor or components.14. Conveyorsarenotnormallymanufactured or designed to handle materialsthat are hazardous to personnel. Thesematerials which are hazardous include thosethat are explosive, flammable, toxic orotherwise dangerous to personnel. Conveyorsmay be designed to handle these materials.Conveyors are not manufactured or designedto comply with local, state or federal codesfor unfired pressure vessels. If hazardousmaterials are to be conveyed or if theconveyor is to be subjected to internal orexternal pressure, manufacturer should beconsulted prior to any modifications.CEMA insists that disconnecting and lockingout the power to the motor driving the unitprovides the only real protection againstinjury. Secondary safety devices are available;however, the decision as to their need and thetype required must be made by the ownerassembler as we have no informationregarding plant wiring, plant environment,the interlocking of the screw conveyor with10other equipment, extent of plant automation,etc. Other devices should not be used as asubstitute for locking out the power prior toremoving guards or covers. We caution thatuse of the secondary devices may causeemployees to develop a false sense of securityand fail to lock out power before removingcovers or guards. This could result in a seriousinjury should the secondary device fail ormalfunction.There are many kinds of electrical devices forinterlocking of conveyors and conveyorsystems such that if one conveyor in a systemor process is stopped other equipmentfeeding it, or following it can also beautomatically stopped.Electrical controls, machinery guards, railings,walkways, arrangement of installation,training of personnel, etc., are necessaryingredients for a safe working place. It is theresponsibility of the contractor, installer,owner and user to supplement the materialsand services furnished with these necessaryitems to make the conveyor installationcomply with the law and accepted standards.Conveyor inlet and discharge openings aredesigned to connect to other equipment ormachinery so that the flow of material intoand out of the conveyor is completelyenclosed.One or more warning labels should be visibleon conveyor housings, conveyor covers andelevator housings. If the labels attached to theequipment become illegible, please orderreplacement warning labels from the OEM orCEMA.The Conveyor Equipment ManufacturersAssociation (CEMA) has produced an audiovisual presentation entitled “Safe Operationof Screw Conveyors, Drag Conveyors, andBucket Elevators.” CEMA encouragesacquisition and use of this source of safetyinformation to supplement your safetyprogram.SEE NEXT PAGE FOR SAFETY LABELS
