Ink Equipment Safety
The Three Roll Mill and Vertical Post Mixer safety training videos have been updated to cover the most recent changes to the ANSI standards. The ANSI Vertical Post Mixer Safety Standard (B177.2 – Safety Standard Printing Ink Vertical Post Mixers) and the ANSI Three Roll Mill Safety Standard (B177.1 Safety Standard Printing Ink Three Roll Mills) were revised with new requirements for both pieces of equipment in 2017.
ANSI Vertical Post Mixer Safety Safety Standard (ANSI B65 177.2) (Revised - June 2017)
The purpose of this standard (ANSI B65 177.2) is to provide standardized guidance, advice, and recommendations to both equipment designers and equipment operators aimed at reducing the risk of injury to personnel during the operation of vertical post mixers. The information contained in this standard is intended to be used in conjunction with the development, implementation, and maintenance of process-specific in-house safe operating procedures, safety training, inspection and maintenance programs, and other accepted means of minimizing hazards associated with the operation of vertical post mixers. The 2011 standard is available through the American National Standards Institute.
