When using a flywheel press, it is critical to ensure safe operation. Here are some key safety considerations:


Inspect the equipment before operation: Before using the flywheel press, check that all safety protection devices are in place and intact, such as protective covers, emergency stop buttons, etc.

Check the power cord, hydraulic system, and pneumatic system of the equipment to ensure that there is no damage, leakage, or looseness. Make sure that all moving parts are not stuck and are well lubricated.


Personnel training: Only trained and authorized personnel are allowed to operate the flywheel press.

The operator should understand the working principle, operating procedures, and emergency response methods of the equipment.


Wear personal protective equipment: The operator should wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety shoes, protective gloves, safety glasses, and earmuffs to prevent mechanical injuries and noise hazards.


Stay alert during operation: During operation, always keep your attention on the machine and avoid distractions. Make sure that no unnecessary personnel enter the working area to prevent accidents.


Use of safety protection devices: The safety protection devices on the equipment must not be disassembled or bypassed at will. In particular, the safety guards, emergency stop buttons, transmission devices, etc. of the press must be kept in good working condition. When using, make sure that the protective cover of the flywheel press is properly installed and secure.


Avoid overload operation: Make sure that the working load of the equipment is within the specified range of the design and shall not exceed the maximum load capacity. Check the pressure setting regularly to prevent equipment damage or personal injury caused by excessive pressure.


Avoid contact with exposed parts: Avoid putting your hands or other parts of your body close to the moving parts of the flywheel press at any time, especially high-speed rotating parts such as flywheels, gears and press heads.

Concentrate on operation and keep a safe distance with your hands: When the press is running, keep your hands at a safe distance to avoid direct contact with the press working area. When adjustment or cleaning is required, the power must be turned off or the equipment must be stopped first to ensure that the flywheel is completely stopped.


Regular maintenance and inspection: Regularly maintain and service the flywheel press, especially check the transmission device, pressure system, flywheel and electrical control system to ensure that they are in normal working condition.Regularly check the electrical lines and grounding system to prevent electrical failures and short circuit accidents.


Emergency stop and emergency handling: Operators should be familiar with emergency stop operations and emergency handling procedures, and be able to take quick action when abnormal situations occur. Make sure there is an obvious emergency stop button near the equipment and ensure that it is normally operable.


By following the above safety precautions, the risks during the operation of the flywheel press can be effectively reduced and the safety of the operator can be guaranteed.
