Study Notes

Task 10: Cleaning Inside Hoppers

  • Key Points: Enter the hopper, monitor the entrance, and clean using a rubber hummer.
  • Remarks: Watch for lumps that may fall during cleaning. Check the flow of product to ensure the outlet isn't blocked during cleaning. Stop if fines aren't reaching the loading chute and report to a manager.

Task 11: Reclaiming Fines from Bay 11

  • Inspect the Bay: Ensure the bay is accessible, enough space exists, and moving equipment isn't interfering.
  • Scooper Inspection: Check the scooper for leaks, cleanliness and proper threading before entering the bulk storage.
  • Scooper Placement: Check the area where the scooper will move. Sufficient space must be available and the driver must use a standby to give directions.
  • Product Preparation: Guide the scooper to bay 11, ensuring products move to the correct area (304A). Check the product amount in bay 11 to ensure nearly all product is moved into Bay 10 and 11 demarcation walls.
  • Scooper Removal: Once the scooper has removed product, lock the backdoor.

Task 12: Environmental Procedure - Prill Spillages from Damaged Bags

  • Key Points: Determine the amount of spillage from 25kg or 1 tonne bags.
  • Cleanup: Return damaged 25kg bags to the bagging station for rework. Clean spills using a broom and skip bin.
  • Critical Note: Never use RWB (Resin Wash Water) to clean spillage, but use water as a last resort after authorisation. Spillovers must be reported to the shift/team manager prior to cleanup.
