United KingdomMachinery Automation Rotary Single Head Sealing Machine (Pro-Series Film Sealer ADLSL-4-1) packaging machinery is affected; recognise it by the Machinery Automation brand and model number. It was identified as unsafe because the rotating table has unguarded trapping points, the control lacks an emergency stop relay, the main door uses plastic latches, the frame and doors are not adequately earthed, a 20 A fuse is fitted in a standard 3‑pin plug, and the motor cable is not properly secured, so it does not meet the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Customers were given information about the risks and advised to contact the manufacturer regarding appropriate modifications; continued use presents a risk of serious injury.
What's being recalled
Product Safety Report for Machinery Automation Rotary Single Head Sealing Machine presenting a risk of entrapment and electric shock.
Type: Machinery – Rotary Single Head Sealing Machine
Brand: Machinery Automation
Model: Pro-Series Film Sealer ADLSL-4-1
Country of Origin: United Kingdom
Product Description: Packaging machinery.
How to identify it
PSD notification number: 2604-0065
Notified by: Health and Safety Executive
The hazard
The product presents a risk of entrapment because:
The rotating table creates multiple trapping and entanglement points with fixed parts of the machine. There are no safeguards or protective measures to prevent access to these hazardous areas during operation.
Although an emergency stop button is fitted, the machine does not incorporate an emergency stop relay within the control circuitry. This prevents the machine from stopping safely and reliably in an emergency.
The main body door is secured only by plastic latches, allowing easy access to live electrical parts while the machine is in use.
The product also presents a risk of electric shock and fire because:
The main frame and doors are not adequately earthed and could become live in the event of an electrical fault, exposing users to electric shock.
The machine is fitted with a 20 amp fuse in a standard 3‑pin plug, which exceeds the rated capacity of UK socket outlets and may lead to overheating or fire.
The electrical cable supplying the motor is not adequately supported or secured, increasing the likelihood of damage and exposure of live conductors.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
What to do
The product has been identified as unsafe in its current condition, and its continued use presents a risk of serious injury. The manufacturer has provided customers with information about the safety risks identified with the machine, and customers have been advised to contact the manufacturer regarding appropriate modifications.
