Safety Guard for PPF20S & PPF30S
Mitigating the risk of high-velocity debris ejection during heavy-duty pressing operations is this guard's primary role. This safety guard is specifically designed to fit the Premier series PPF20S and PPF30S floor presses, providing a robust physical barrier between the operator and the work area. The guard is constructed from high-tensile steel mesh encased in a lightweight aluminium frame, ensuring that visibility remains excellent while safety is uncompromised. It utilises a clever five-stage height adjustment system that allows the operator to lower the mesh close to the table, effectively containing small parts that might fly out under 20 or 30 tonnes of load. The adjustment is facilitated by one-way spring-loaded locking clips, which snap the guard into place as it is raised, allowing for rapid changes between work cycles. Because it bolts directly to the sides of the press table, the guard moves with the table during height adjustments, ensuring the safety envelope is always maintained relative to the workpiece. This unit is an essential requirement for any professional workshop seeking to improve safety standards on their Premier hydraulic presses.
Features & Benefits
Lightweight aluminium frame construction: Makes the guard extremely easy to adjust manually, reducing the physical effort required during a busy working day.
High-impact steel mesh: Provides a clear view of the pressing operation while effectively stopping projectiles if a component fails under pressure.
Five-position height adjustment: Enables the technician to minimize the gap between the guard and the table, providing maximum containment for various part sizes.
Auto-locking spring clips: Ensures the guard stays at the selected height without the need for manual pins, preventing the guard from sliding during vibration.
Integrated table mounting: Moves the guard automatically as the press table is adjusted, ensuring the operator is always protected regardless of the setup.
Why Choose This Product?
This is a critical safety upgrade for users of the Premier PPF20S and PPF30S presses. Its strongest feature is the seamless integration with the press table, which ensures that the guard is always in the correct position. Choosing this model guarantees a factory-standard fit, providing superior protection and ease of use compared to makeshift workshop shields or generic free-standing screens.
FAQs About Safety Guard for PPF20S & PPF30S
Will this guard fit the standard YK series presses?
This specific guard is designed for the mounting points on the Premier PPF20S and PPF30S models. For the standard YK20 and YK30 series, you should select the suitable guards.
Does the guard interfere with using a press pin set?
No, the guard provides sufficient clearance for the ram and any attached press pins or dies. It is designed to surround the work area while leaving the central axis clear for the press tools.
Is it easy to remove the guard for cleaning or maintenance?
The guard is designed to be a permanent bolt-on fixture for safety. However, it can be removed easily by unbolting the side mounting brackets if you need full access to the table for maintenance.
