Component Specifications

Definition
The Shielding Plate is a precision-engineered safety component installed at conveyor port interfaces to prevent foreign object ingress, reduce dust and particulate contamination, and protect personnel from moving parts. It functions as a physical barrier that maintains the integrity of the conveyor system while allowing controlled access for maintenance and material flow. Typically constructed from durable metals with specific thickness and finish requirements, it includes mounting features for secure attachment and may incorporate viewing windows or access panels.
Working Principle
Operates as a static protective barrier that physically blocks unwanted entry of materials, objects, or contaminants into conveyor ports while permitting authorized access through designed openings. It maintains separation between operational zones and external environments, reducing wear on internal components and enhancing safety compliance.
Materials
Cold-rolled steel (1.5-3.0mm thickness), stainless steel (AISI 304/316, 1.2-2.5mm), or aluminum alloy (5052/6061, 2.0-4.0mm) with corrosion-resistant finishes (powder coating, galvanization, or passivation).
Technical Parameters
  • IP Rating IP54 minimum for dust and splash protection
  • Thickness 1.5-4.0 mm
  • Dimensions Customizable to port size (typical 300x500mm to 1000x1500mm)
  • Mounting Type Bolted or hinged with quick-release mechanisms
  • Surface Finish RAL 9005 matte black powder coat or equivalent
  • Weight Capacity Withstands 50-200 kg impact resistance
  • Temperature Range -20°C to +120°C operational
Standards
ISO 14120, DIN EN 953, ISO 13857
