REELEX-Built
Accumulator Safety Issue
A possible safety
concern has been discovered in all Accumulator
Systems manufactured by REELEX Packaging
Solutions (Formerly Windings, Inc.) for use in
on-line REELEX packaging configurations.
Affected Machines:
AC-150, AC-300, AC-500
Safety Issue:
During certain maintenance
procedures in which it is necessary to override
the safety mechanisms, the upper sheave assembly
is not secure and can fall causing serious
injury.
Remedy:
REELEX Packaging Solutions has
created a safety upgrade kit offered at no
charge. This kit includes a self-retracting
lanyard affixed to the top of the accumulator
system, which prevents the upper sheave assembly
from falling even if the safety mechanisms are
disengaged.
What to do:
The upgrade kit for REELEX
accumulators is offered free of charge and is
simple to install. If you do have a REELEX
(Windings)-built accumulator, we recommend that
you order this kit as soon as possible.
