Video: Hydraguard prevents potentially fatal fluid injection injuries
October is National Safe Work Month in Australia and some other countries. While its an important focus, we know our clients, like us, focus on safety every day of the year.
Staff who work around hydraulics are at risk from potentially fatal pinhole ruptures of high pressure oil that can pierce PPE. Watch our video to see how our unique Hydraguard, rubber-encased, stainless-steel guarding system diffuses the oil through fine mesh to prevent injury.

Polyurethane skirting prevents spillage & abrasion
Our Australian made polyurethane conveyor skirting prevents spillage and conveyor abrasion. It maintains a dust seal between the chute and the conveyor belt.
This reduces WHS risks and costs in time and money associated with spillage and dust, and improves conveyor stability and reliability.
Traditionally, skirting is made from rubber. But polyurethane skirting lasts four times longer than rubber skirting.

How do you choose the most cost effective lagging?
There are different types of pulley lagging using different materials. So, how do you assess which is the most cost effective pulley lagging option?
When comparing lagging options and pricing, make sure you are comparing apples with apples.
The quoted sheet price is one thing. but factors such as the sheet width (which influences the number of sheets you need) and the life expectancy of the lagging gives you a better guide to the overall lifecycle cost and its true cost effectiveness. The quality of the lagging varies too, depending on the manufacturer.
