Diseño e implementación de un sistema de seguridad en un molino de tipo cizalla

Abstract

Abstract: The development of this work is based on improving the conditions of the safety system of the shear mill that is found in the laboratories of prototypes, production, and agro-enterprises of the UTPL. It started from the identification of hazards and risk assessment in the work area using the methodology of the Colombian Technical Guide 45. To improve the safety system, the design of the feeding hopper and preventive signage were carried out as new elements. protectors, corrective maintenance was given, and a risk prevention manual was proposed for the operation of this machine. The results of the risk assessment indicated that the most dangerous risk is called the security condition with scores of 1080, 600 and 180, which were not acceptable and suggested immediate correction and security controls. The new provision and the implementation of the new elements to improve the safety system decreased the risk exposure level score from 2420 to 320 as well as the probability of accident occurrence.
