Investigation Summary
At approximately 5:00 p.m. on June 29, 1992, Employee #1 and a coworker, packing house workers, were operating the cherry seeding machine. They had completed pitting cherries and were cleaning the machine. All moving parts are washed using a high pressure hose while the machine is operating to clean off debris from the 23 in. diameter by 28 in. long drum that holds the cherries. A 1 1/4 in. diameter shaft is located on the off feed side of the drum approximately 1/2 to 1/4 in. from the surface of the drum and extends the length of the drum. The drum rotates clockwise and the shaft rotates counterclockwise, creating an in-running nip point that was unguarded. Apparently, Employee #1 tried to remove debris from the drum while the machine was still on and became caught in the in-running nip point between the drum and shaft. Her right hand was pulled into the nip point and was degloved. Two fingers were also broken. Employee #1 called for help and a coworker shut off the machine. Employee #1 was taken to Union Memorial Hospital and admitted.
