Expanded Metal Machine Guard – Safety Barrier Between Workers and Machines

Safety is always a great concern in production, especially in the manufacturing industry. The equipment operation not only brings us economic benefits, but also put operators in a dangerous workplace. So, machine protection becomes very important.

Our expanded metal machine guards are mainly used in machine perimeter protection and partial protection. The guard surface is generally electrostatic powder coated with alarming color, such as yellow and orange, aiming to reduce the occurrence of production accidents and ensure the personal safety of operators. All our expanded metal machine guards comply with OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) 1910.212 general requirements.

Features

● Economical & eco-friendly. Made of solid steel plate after slitting and stretching, no material is wasted during the production.

● Visibility. Uniform openings allow the free passage of air and light and can observe the equipment operation directly without removing the machine guards.

● Safety. Rigid structure and different opening size can effectively prevent fingers or body part from coming into contact with hazardous parts and protect the personal safety of operators.

● Durability. Powder coated surface offers enhanced corrosion resistance.

● Formability. It can be cut, bent and welded to meet the safety protection requirements of different machines.

Machine Partial Guards

It is mostly used to protect flywheels, fan blades, belt pulleys, gears, connecting rods and other machine components that transmit energy to protect workers operating or working around the machinery. Besides, it also prevents clippings or other sharp objects from entering the machine, thus reducing the equipment abrasion and protecting the key assets of the enterprise.

Machine partial guards are generally made of flattened expanded metal. It features good rigidity, stable structure and its flat, smooth surface not only provides great safety protection, but also facilitates the operator accessing to the machine.
