Final narrative
Employees were emptying and transferring residual powdered plastic from a hopper to a supper-sack in preparation to tag out the equipment for cleaning. One of the employees reached into the bottom of the hopper and made contact with the rotary valve. The valve was in operation and amputated the employee's right index and middle fingertips.
