Tunnel sterilization dryer is a widely used equipment in the pharmaceutical, food, chemical and other industries, used to dry items after high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization, ensuring the quality and safety of the items. However, improper operation can lead to equipment failure or pose safety hazards due to improper use. To ensure the safety of equipment and personnel, the following will introduce the safety operating procedures for tunnel sterilization dryers.
Safety operating procedures for tunnel sterilization dryer
1. Ensure that the equipment is in a safe state
After turning on the device, the temperature and pressure sensors should be checked first to ensure that the device has cooled down and reduced pressure to a safe state before operation.
2. Use appropriate tools
Proper tools must be used when disassembling and assembling equipment, replacing spare parts, etc. Do not modify the equipment structure or make illegal modifications to prevent safety hazards during equipment use.
3. Use regulated pressure vessels
The tunnel type sterilization dryer is a designated pressure vessel and should not be used or modified in other situations, as it may cause serious safety issues.
4. Confirm the pressure vessel switch
When opening the equipment, it should be ensured that the pressure vessel switch is closed and the pressure vessel door is unfolded with hand tools. Carefully check the sealing of the door when unfolding the door, otherwise the equipment may leak and cause accidents during operation.
5. Prevent heat transfer
During the operation of the equipment, if it is found that the sterilization dryer is particularly hot and the surrounding air temperature is very low, the equipment should be stopped to check for air leakage or excessive energy consumption. If necessary, the problem should be dealt with in a timely manner.
6. Ensure equipment ventilation
In order to prevent condensation on the inner wall of the equipment, it is necessary to ensure ventilation of the equipment during the operation of the sterilization dryer to avoid the accumulation of condensation during equipment operation and the formation of safety hazards.
7. Increase security monitoring
For sterilization dryers, it is necessary to increase safety monitoring to provide assurance for the safe operation of the equipment. When inspecting equipment, safe operation should be achieved through pressure vessel switches, temperature, valves, and acceptance reports.
8. Strengthen maintenance and upkeep
In order to ensure the safe operation of the equipment, maintenance and upkeep should be carried out before each operation of the sterilization dryer, including cleaning the internal residues of the equipment, checking for any abnormal phenomena, etc., to ensure that the equipment is clean and the accessories are intact.
