This European Standard applies to reel splitters intended for use in paper making and shall be used together
with EN 1034-1:2000. It deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events relevant
to reel splitters when used as intended and under the conditions reasonably foreseen by the manufacturer as
incorrect application (see clause 4).
This European Standard applies only to reel splitters with a movable knife and of the following designs:
- machines with a vertically moving knife pressed downwards from the top onto the reel, generally right to
the core so that the layers of wound paper are separated one after the other and fall off;
- machines with a driven and movable circular knife that cuts the wound layers of the horizontal reel
successively, beginning from the top down to the core, with the cut layers of wound paper falling off one
after the other.
This European Standard also applies to the integrated conveyor belts and the integrated pivoting platform.
This European Standard also covers the guard rails at the interface of the reel splitter and a pulper that is
charged with an integrated conveyor belt of the reel splitter.
NOTE Pulpers are dealt with in EN 1034-4.
This European Standard is not applicable to reel splitters which are manufactured before the date of
publication of this EN.
