DIN EN 13289:2013-05

This standard defines relevant requirements set out in Annex I of EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, relating to machines which were placed on the European Economic Area (EEA) market for the first time, with the intent to facilitate proof of compliance with those requirements. Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, it is deemed a "harmonized" standard and thus, a manufacturer applying this standard may assume compliance with the requirements of the Machinery Directive ("presumption of conformity"). This European Standard applies to shaker pre-dryers, belt dryers, rotary dryers, nest pasta dryers, long pasta dryers and coolers used in continuous pasta processing plants able to produce more than 100 kg/h. This European Standard specifies the safety requirements for the design, manufacture and information, for use for the afore-mentioned machines, known with the name of dryers and coolers, classified as stationary units which cannot be moved when in operation. This European Standard is not applicable to dryers and coolers, static or semiautomatic requiring manual loading as well as those for special application (that is experimental dryers). Dryers in a pasta plant are machines which reduce moisture by means of warm air ventilation. In the drying process the use of a cooler might be necessary in order to reduce the temperature, maintaining constant the correct moisture of the pasta. The cooling can be obtained in the dryer or in a separate similar machine. The significant hazards as well as the measures for their reduction are described in this European Standard. Ancillary equipment which is not an integral part of the machinery (for example, hoppers, conveyors, equipment used to produce hot or cold fluids, etcetera) is not covered by this European Standard. This European Standard is not applicable to machines in its scope which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN. This standard contains the German version of EN 13289:2001+A1:2013 which has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 153 "Machinery intended for use with foodstuffs and feed" of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). The following modifications have been made with respect to DIN EN 13289:2002-03: a) normative references have been updated; b) editorial improvements and corrections; c) an informative Annex ZA on the relationship between this European Standard and the Essential requirements of Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC has been added. The national interests during the preparation of the standard are represented by Committee NA 060-18-07 AA "Getreideverarbeiter" ("Grain processors") at Technical Section "Food Processing Machinery" of the Mechanical Engineering Standards Committee (NAM) at DIN. Representatives of manufacturers and users of pasta and cereals processing machinery, and of the employers' liability insurance associations contributed to this standard.
