ASGCO Introduces Safe-Guard Return Idler Guard

ASGCO Manufacturing Inc., Allentown, Pa., has introduced the new lightweight Safe-Guard Return Idler Guard.

Safe-Guard is designed to prevent injuries from pinch points and to catch the return idler if it should fall, the company says. Installation of Safe-Guard on a users conveyor belt return idler helps to protect workers from the hazard of contacting the exposed idler.

The machine's durable fire-retardant slotted cage is designed to prevent material build-up and for easy clean-up, the company says. Removing just two stainless steel pins to drop open the side of the cage gives users full access to the roller and allows for ease of replacement and maintenance, according to the company.

Safe-Guard’s universal mounting brackets are made from powder coated A-36 steel and can be used on CEMA B, C, D, E and F series idlers up to 7 inches in diameters and belt width of up to 96 inches wide.
