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. mk Profile Systems
offers over 250 different profiles across their
25mm, 40mm, 50mm and 60mm ranges.
Their extensive conveyor range covers over
20 standard conveyor systems for all all types
of goods in nearly all factory environments.
The modular nature of the mk system
means that all elements of the system work
in conjunction with each and can easily be
adapted or added to at a later date.
