Safety Tips Of Commercial Dry Cleaning Machines Use

Commercial dry cleaning machines are more common in everyday life, dry cleaning from Europe, previously also tried different dry cleaning agents, such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, trichlorethylene, trichlorotrifluoroethane and so on. The longest used is dry cleaning agent - tetrachlorethylene, which has so far been grown for 70 to 80 years in many developed countries in Europe, Australia and North America.
  
Tetrachlorethylene Commercial Dry Cleaners still holds more than 80% of the share. Since tetrachlorethylene has a micro-toxicity, long-term exposure to tetrachlorethylene is harmful to health. Although domestic environmental protection does not limit the concentration of tetrachlorethylene, the design and use of dry-cleaning machines should be considered so that the operator Avoid or reduce exposure to tetrachlorethylene. Therefore, many countries in the world have made regulations on the allowable concentrations of tetrachlorethylene gas in the working environment. The allowable range is between 25PPM and 50PPM. China provides 200 mg / m3 (ie 27PPM, GB16204-1996). This is a standard with the world's developed countries and more stringent standards.
 

 As we all know, alcohol is also a toxic solvent. Human daily alcohol consumption to million units, but not see how many people drink alcohol-containing toxic solvents and poisoning is mainly because the control degree, no more than human acceptance of toxic standards, which will not be poisoned. Therefore, the control of emissions of tetrachlorethylene and human intake is the key to ensuring safety.
 

 On the open-type dry-cleaning machine, the structure of the decision must have exhaust emissions, then in order to ensure that the operator, equipment, clothing clothes should be negative at the mouth, to avoid tetrafluoroethylene gas overflow from the charge port. Dry cleaning machine standard also made a clear: "open-type dry cleaning machine should have a safety interlock device. Loading door does not close, the machine can not start; open the loading door, the fan should automatically start; close the loading door, fan Automatic stop ". On the whole closed dry cleaning machine, because the door is no ventilation, the operator can still smell the smell, still can not eliminate its harm, therefore, the new dry cleaning machine has been improved, different manufacturers to take different measures. There are some manufacturers of dry cleaning machine with a boot process can not open the loading door of the interlock, to avoid misuse caused by accidental injury.
 
 Dry cleaning machine noise is generally much lower than the environmental limit, the standard provisions of not more than 80dB (A), how to reduce noise is not only a design and manufacturing problems, but also largely subject to the quality of the kit, for large dry cleaning machines, noise Control or can not be ignored. In order to prevent accidental mechanical damage, the standard provides "in the rotation of the belt and shaft, etc. should be added rigid shield", although this is a design common sense, but it is necessary to be emphasized. In particular, users in the maintenance of the machine, be sure to install a protective cover. For the protective cover requirements, not only is the rigid, but also should be careful to ensure that can not be accidentally into the fingers.
 
 In general, the dry cleaners in the use of tetrachlorethylene dry cleaning equipment, the best choice of fully enclosed, try to avoid the personal clothing, bed sheets, quilt, etc. for dry cleaning, if dry cleaning needs dry cleaning, dry cleaning found a heavy Pungent odor, it may be due to the residual residue on the clothes caused by tetrachlorethylene. Because tetrachlorethylene is a highly volatile substance, consumers can take the clothes from the dry cleaners, the clothes hanging in the place of ventilation and more drying for some time, so that after evaporation of tetrachlorethylene and then wear. To ensure that tetrachlorethylene has a poisonous object to play a failure, not for people to bring health risks.
