Modular conveyor guarding improves safety and productivity
EVO conveyor guards from Martin Engineering offer a flexible and cost-effective solution
AN industry leader in delivering safer, more productive bulk materials handling has announced a new generation of modular conveyor guards that allow workers to do their jobs with reduced risk and greater efficiency, while helping to ensure plant compliance with safety standards and regulations.
EVO conveyor guards from Martin Engineering provide a simple, flexible and cost-effective solution to conveyor guarding, with component designs to help keep personnel safe by restricting access to moving parts and pinch points.
The user-friendly design of the new guards is provided by standardized panels that take a systematic approach to guarding, with the flexibility to fit virtually any conveyor design. Wedge clamps allow the guarding panels to be removed and reinstalled quickly and easily, so systems can be expanded or relocated as needed. A variety of wedge bolts and bracket sizes are available to suit a wide range of mounting options.
EVO conveyor guards are self-supporting and feature a rugged modular design that installs on supplied angle iron structures, eliminating the need to attach directly to conveyor equipment, while integrated handles reduce the number of parts and tools required.
The new conveyor guards conform to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.217 when installed with a minimum of 5.5 inches of clearance between the guard opening and hazard. They also comply with MSHA Safety Standards 56.14107 (moving machine parts), 56.14110 (flying or falling material), 56.14112 (guard construction), 75.1722 (mechanical equipment guards) and 77.4400 (mechanical equipment guards).
The guards are available in a range of sizes, from 11in x 17in samples up to 36in x 50in panels, and can be used in a variety of combinations to accommodate unique and even custom-designed conveyor systems. They can be specified in powder-coated orange or painted safety yellow, and can be purchased with or without mounting hardware.
Martin Engineering say specific launch dates for their new EVO product may vary slightly, depending on country/region.
