Conveyor Guarding and Covers

This chain-driven conveyor system, located in Indianapolis, IN, is used to transfer products between manufacturing operations. The machine's exposed drive chains, sprockets, in-running nip points, and rotating components present pinch point, entanglement, and unexpected conveyor motion hazards that require effective safeguarding while maintaining production efficiency. PowerSafe Automation retrofitted the conveyor with custom T-slotted aluminum safety guards featuring clear polycarbonate inspection panels and removable access covers, creating a low-profile guarding solution that protects hazardous power transmission components while allowing maintenance personnel to safely inspect and service the drive system without restricting conveyor performance or visibility.

This conveyor system, located in Louisville, KY, transfers products between manufacturing processes where operators work near the discharge end and moving conveyor components. The machine's exposed end rollers, rotating shafts, and in-running nip points present pinch point, entanglement, and unexpected conveyor motion hazards that require effective safeguarding while maintaining production efficiency and product flow. PowerSafe Automation retrofitted the conveyor with a T-slotted aluminum safety enclosure featuring black PVC-coated wire mesh panels, creating a compact guarding solution that restricts access to the conveyor discharge hazard area while maintaining excellent visibility, safe maintenance access, and uninterrupted conveyor operation.

This automated conveyor system, located in Columbus, OH, transports pallets and products through a manufacturing process where operators require controlled access for maintenance and product recovery. The machine's conveyor rollers, transfer points, and pinch points present entanglement, forklift traffic, and unexpected machine motion hazards that require effective safeguarding while maintaining production flow. PowerSafe Automation retrofitted the area with perimeter safety fencing featuring black PVC-coated wire mesh panels, an interlocked access gate with an RFID safety switch, integrated safety controls, and protective bollards, creating a comprehensive guarding solution that provides controlled access while maintaining excellent visibility, efficient material handling, and safe maintenance access.
