Protective Enclosure made from
40mm Aluminium Profiles
A toothbrush manufacturer has used mk Profile
Systems’ 40 series profile to create a protective
device guard for their packaging area. The
toothbrushes were already in their primary
packaging, so there were no sanitary requirements
but the protective guard is located in a typical
cleanroom.
The guard, which was all made from the mk 40
series profile, was made entirely to the bespoke
specifications of the customer. The profiles were
anodised, the cut edges are blank and closed with
sealing caps. The profile slots are closed with
sealing strips.
An mk ZRF-P timing belt conveyor was also
incorporated into the protective guard. It was
crucial to ensure that the enclosure allowed easy
access to the interior to allow for maintenance
work to be carried out. This was done by
incorporating two maintenance doors also out of
the 40 series profile, with a locking mechanism for
the doors being provided by the customer.

Different panelling made from powder-coated
sheets, Makrolon and powder-coated perforated
sheets were used, again as per the customer’s
requirements.
Finally, the enclosure was mounted on levelling
feet, which can easily compensate for uneven
floors.
The customer has a perfectly tailored solution
to their guarding requirements with integrated
conveyor technology, all from one single source.
