Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 141365.015
Event: 11/14/2021
Two employees suffer injuries when mixer explodes

At 10:55 p.m. on November 14, 2021, an Employee # 1 and Employee #2 were loading ingredients into an industrial rubber compound tandem mixer. To free an ingredient block that was stuck in the mixer's throat area, Employee #1 switched the mixer to manual mode to cycle the machine. Employee # 1 was facing the mixer from approximately five to ten feet away and Employee #2 was facing away from the mixer. The mixer experienced an overpressure event, resulting in the release of pressure and flames from the mixer's throat area. Employee # 1 was engulfed in flames and suffered burns to the majority of his body, requiring hospitalization. Employee #2 was knocked to the ground by the pressure wave and sustained a concussion and was treated without hospitalization.
