Machine guarding with GRP gratings
Safety is always a top priority in industrial environments. Moving machine parts, conveyor systems, and industrial equipment can pose significant risks if they are not properly protected. With GRP machine guarding, you can create a safe working environment while also complying with important safety requirements.
Why choose GRP machine guarding?
GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is a strong and durable material that is increasingly used for machine guarding in industrial environments. Thanks to its low weight and ease of installation, GRP provides an excellent alternative to traditional steel constructions. GRP machine guarding not only helps protect employees from hazardous moving parts and equipment, but also offers a low maintenance solution with a long service life.
Safe guarding of moving parts
When guarding machinery and conveyor systems, the correct mesh size plays an important role. Depending on the application, 13 mm high GRP gratings with mesh sizes of 50 × 50 mm or 38 × 38 mm are commonly used. This creates a safe guarding solution that complies with applicable safety regulations.
Advantages of GRP machine guarding
- Corrosion resistant and rust free
- Lightweight and easy to install
- Long service life
- Low maintenance
- Resistant to moist and chemically aggressive environments
- Safe protection around machinery and conveyor systems
