FL-3 Filler - Capper Head Service and Bowl Entry

Food & beverage

Capper head rebuild plus filler bowl internal inspection. Includes DP-1 depalletizer isolation and CO2 purge.

This is a worked example, not a procedure you can adopt. It describes equipment that does not exist, with illustrative tag numbers. 29 CFR 1910.147(c)(4) requires the employer to develop, document and utilise energy control procedures specific to their own machines, and (c)(6) requires the employer to inspect those procedures periodically. Neither duty can be delegated to a vendor or discharged by this document.

Isolation points

#Tag (illustrative)TypeDispositionWhat it does and whyDwell
30FL-3-CO2ValveIsolate & lockCO2 counter-pressure supply. ASPHYXIANT in the bowl and pit. Isolate and vent before entry.
40FL-3-CIP-CAUSTICValveIsolate & lockCIP caustic supply valve. CHEMICAL - hot caustic. Blind or double-block before opening the bowl.
50FL-3-CIP-PAAValveIsolate & lockCIP peracetic acid supply valve. CHEMICAL - oxidiser, do not mix with caustic residue.
60FL-3-CIP-HOTWTRValveIsolate & lockCIP hot water supply valve. THERMAL - 85C. Allow cooldown before bowl entry.
70FL-3-CAP-HYDValveIsolate & lockCapper head hydraulic supply valve. Ram circuit holds pressure independently of the pump.
80FL-3-CAP-BLEEDBleedIsolate & lockCapper ram accumulator bleed. STORED PRESSURE - dump to zero and confirm on the gauge before any head work.
90FL-3-CDAValveIsolate & lockCell compressed air supply at the L-O-X valve. Feeds clamps, reject gates and change parts.
100FL-3-CDA-BLEEDBleedIsolate & lockCDA bleed downstream of the L-O-X. Trapped air remains in cylinders after header isolation.
110FL-3-BOWL-DRAINDrainIsolate & lockFiller bowl drain. Confirm bowl empty and at atmosphere before any internal work.
120FL-3-CAP-BLOCKBlockApply & verifyCapper head mechanical support block. GRAVITY - head drops when hydraulic pressure is released.
130FL-3-ROOM-VENTValveKEEP ENERGISEDFiller room CO2 extraction fan. Must REMAIN RUNNING - CO2 is heavier than air and pools in the pit.
140FL-3-MAIN-DISCDisconnectIsolate & lockFiller main drive disconnect, 480V. De-energises carousel, capper and infeed starwheel.
150DP-1-MAIN-DISCDisconnectIsolate & lockDepalletizer main drive disconnect. Interlocked upstream source - isolate for any FL-3 infeed work.

What your site must supply

  • Your own asset and isolation-point tag numbers. The tags shown are illustrative and refer to equipment that does not exist.
  • The actual location of every disconnect, valve and vent on your equipment.
  • Measured stored-energy magnitudes and the dwell time required to dissipate them.
  • Your verification method for each point, and who is authorised to perform it.
  • Any additional energy sources present on your equipment and absent here.

Authorship and validation

This example was authored by Setyr for domain validation. It is not derived from any customer's controlled documents. It illustrates the elements 29 CFR 1910.147(c)(4)(ii) requires a procedure to contain — it does not certify compliance, which is a property of an employer's programme rather than of any document.
