Biography
Ever since the 1992 UNI9994 norm was in effect, the Emme antincendio company was always remarkable, delivering excellent service quality, pledging themselves to refine the customer relationships pursuing innovations and solutions that can be kept up to date with the changing market conditions. In 1998 the idea of Family 05 was born, at that time such an equipment that enabled the maintainers to effectuate the due operations in specific machines respecting the norms wasn’t commercially available yet. In addition it was impossible to effectuate such as certain types of on-the-spot checks inspection procedures, meaning from the costumers it-self. All the equipment existing were bulky, and of various kinds. There is the reason why Gian Franco Milli created a machine so it could be installed directly on the maintainers vans and able to effectuate any kind of control just as the normative required, and that would replace all the devices on the selling available at that time, an all-in inclusive machine by which was possible to do home delivery. The idea was not restricted to the water performance of powder extinguishers CO2, foam and gas, but also the withdrawal, performance control and dry water performance control of the UNI 25-45-70 fire hoses. To summon a complete and unique machine that would revolutionize the world of maintenances.
The first prototype was realized and patented designed in 1998, the machine was already grooved really compact and able to effectuate a wide range of operation in a simple manner, but after some years the final addictions were made, both in the mechanical and aesthetic point of view, until the definitive version was reached in 2009. The Family 05 remained unchanged until recently, this is a merely aesthetic carpentry restyling that made the machine good-looking.
The Family 05 is a really compact device that can also be installed in the company, but it also lends itself to be installed in the classic maintainer’s vans and even on smaller vehicles, thanks to the reduce dimensions and its strong carpentry. With its functions versatility and variety allows to the users to lessen considerably the costs and the rising of the service efficiency, in fact it embodies the operational capacities of 8 old-designed devices and lessen considerably the investment amount for the maintenance companies.
Why it was named FAMILY05 ?
The name has two reasons. First, the Milli family is composed by 5 people Gian Franco, Adriana, Barbara, Marco, Alberto…So it expresses the wide energy of 5 people. The second reason is that in the Family 05 5 essential elements are present
The vacuum pump, the water pump, transfer pump, of liquid CO2 , the air compressor and the pneumatic clamp electronic scale.

-
Panel of the electrical board and control console zone (Pic.3-6): risk of receiving a life-threatening electric shock in case of contact with live parts.
-
Pressure control and quick disconnect zone. (Pic 3-7): pressure pipe jacking.
SAFETY DEVICES
The machine satisfies all the Machinery Directive requirements related to the current principles of safety integration.
Referring to the (Pic. 4) the risk of accident prevention measures have been implemented in the various machine zones.
![](/sites/default/files/users/gabriele/dispositvi_di_sic.jpg)
Pic. 4
-
Two-hand control: (Pic 4-9) to activate the envelope or extinguisher lock function, in the treatment chamber; the operator after locating the object that is to be treated in the locking compartment. Switches simultaneously the two- switches.The pneumatic clamp (Pic 4-8) blocks the object to be treated, keeping the operator hanging around in a shearing and body crushing safe zone.
-
Side movable guards (left side): located to protect the side access to the moving parts interlocked by safety microswitch; the removal of the guards is possible only with a voluntary transfer that stops the machine. (Pic. 4-4)
- Front movable guards: located to protect the front access to the moving parts and interlocking with safety microswitch. The access inside the compartment where the machining heads are located is secured by the total absence of electrical energy and so it is impossible to have moving parts. (Pic. 4-5,7)
- Fixed guards of moving parts: additional fixed guards were implemented on moving bodies (pulleys, gears, moving belts, ecc…) located inside the machining heads compartment.
- Back fixed guards: located to protect the machining head compartment so that they can avoid to be entered to the moving mechanical parts. The protection is realised in an appropriate thickness steel sheet strongly screwed to the machine’s carpentry. On the carter are attached some labels indicating the interdiction to the zone when the machine is electrically fired.
- Fixed guard on pneumatic clamp: located to the protection of the shearing due to the reciprocating cylinder movements.( Pic. 4-8)
For service purposes that require the fixed guards removal is under the obligation to isolate the machine from the electricity grid opening the master control switch located on the machine’s frontal part. When the intervention is finished re-engage the guards in the previous operational conditions in order to avoid accidents risk.
-
Central cabling cabinet: the cutting master control switcher of the machine from the power line shutters down the overall machine. On the switchgear some labels are describing the electrical voltage related risks. (Pic 4-3)
-
Various fluid circuits: the circuits are built with working pressure suitable pipework. Control-circuits, according to the regulations, are low-voltaged made. (24 Vcc) (Pic. 4-1)
RESIDUAL RISKS
The simple possible residual risk warning is not acceptable in case that risk could be eliminated with safety devices. The residual risk’s list can be related to the misuse of operations that weren’t made following this manual:
- Pneumatic or hydraulic circuit and other machining head’s curcuits mounted on the machine , maintenance operations related. Possible fluids projection if not discharged the circuits before operating is a risk.
-
Adjustment operations related: of the related arrangements involved in the machining head group if the safety measures to operate inside the machines compartment are not adopted.
-
Related to the maintenance operations on the electrical system if the machine is not correctly isolated. Risk of contact with operating devices whenever operating without isolating the machine from the firing power line. Apposite labels on the switchgear warns the risk and interaction on operating devices.
SAFETY NOTES
On the machine are located signs to warn the operator of the possible danger existing in that zone.
