Methods for risk reduction

Although ejection curtains are not classified as guards, they do act as an awareness barrier for powered presses to reduce exposure to the point of operation and also act as a containment barrier to stop or slow projectiles ejected from the machine. For powered presses, this product meets the ANSI B11.2 ref 8.2.1. “flying objects” clause, pending results of the risk assessment to determine the likelihood and force potential for throwing objects (note, a “shield” does not need to be a hard guard).To get more news about metal cloth curtain, you can visit boegger.net official website.

Platen presses, stamping presses, transfer presses, and in some cases forging presses require barrier guards or devices, which prevent access to the point of operation over, under, around or through the guard itself. For these applications, an ejection curtain does not meet these criteria as it is a movable barrier and does not have to be in place to operate the press.

Facility managers at Canada West Harvest Centre are aware of the necessity to install safety guards around machines in order to avoid injuries from pinch points or projectiles.

Canada West Harvest Centre is a CLAAS agricultural dealership, selling and servicing the full line of CLAAS equipment for Southern Saskatchewan. At three separate Canada West Harvest Centre locations, Gray SP-25 heavy-duty shop presses with a 25-ton capacity are utilized to service components of CLAAS agricultural equipment. Canada West Harvest Centre relies on ejection curtains to help protect its machine operators and surrounding personnel.
