Importance of Conveyor Guarding
NEIL KINDER an Associate Member from Kinder and Co Pty Ltd, report on the K-Protector Return Idler Guard.
CONVEYOR guarding is a vital piece of equipment on all installations where it is possible to be classed as a hazard. Conveyor guards do not have to be complicated nor interfere with productivity.
K-Protector Return Idler Guard is a practical and safe solution to provide roller pinch point protection. The guard is designed for convenient access for maintenance and is available to suit all roller diameters and belt widths.
It is lightweight and its design allows for easy but safe access for roller change out or cleaning. The unit is designed to help minimize the potential for injury. The owner/operator should follow safe work practice procedures and never make adjustments to un-locked machinery.
Features:
- Bolted or Quick-Release guard panels provide convenient access to the idler for maintenance and cleaning.
- Retrofit to your existing return roller brackets.
- Available for steel or self cleaning rubber disc return rollers in all belt widths.
- Acts as a basket to catch roller in the event of idler failure.
- Composite polymer leading edge protects the belt from wear/abrasion.
- Protection to user by eliminating pinch points.
- All standard belt widths available.
- Custom designs available.
