Importance of Conveyor Guarding

By on June 24, 2010

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.
