Falk 'Orange Peel' guards for rotating machinery

The Orange Peel rotating machinery guard (for couplings, pumps, etc) complies with OSHA, ASME and ANSI standards. It is available in a number of different design configurations, all of which can be tailored on site to fit different applications. The design options and adaptability of the guards ensure that all the problems associated with custom-fabricated alternatives - such as preparing drawings, time delays and cost - are eliminated.

Manufactured in either polyethylene or aluminium, the guards can be easily trimmed to size following pre-formed cutting guides in the body and projecting shaft sleeves. This permits accurate adjustments to be made to both height and width. Further flexibility is provided by bolt-on pedestal risers that enable height to be increased.

In addition to this versatility, another major feature of the Orange Peel guard is the easy access it permits. Access for lubrication, inspection and maintenance is achieved simply by 'peeling away' the guard's panels, which can be hinged either at the top or at the base of the assembly.
