A common theme at this year's FoodTech fair - the largest trade fair for food technology in the Nordic region - was the increasing automation and implementation of automated equipment and robots. The need for safe food production with machine guarding has never been greater.
As the food industry becomes more and more automated, for example with robots and other lifting equipment, food production needs to be shielded for safety reasons. Getting too close to a robot can be life-threatening for workers along the production line.
That's why we also focused on 'Safe food production' at our stand at FoodTech. At the stand, our shielding solution was presented together with a robot. See more on our exhibitor profile: NTF - Aalborg A/S (foodtech.dk) (foodtech.dk)
Machine guarding from NTF
At NTF-Aalborg, we produce hygienic machine guarding for fencing production lines in the food industry. Machine guarding protects employees on and around production lines or packing stations from accidents, but it also protects the production line itself or robots from damage. For example, shocks or collisions that can lead to production stops.
Machine guards from NTF-Aalborg are made of stainless steel - in a well-thought-out hygienic design. To reduce the risk of bacterial growth in food production, the machine guard has no horizontal surfaces or inaccessible corners that collect dirt and bacteria. Thus, machine guarding from NTF-Aalborg meets the highest requirements for hygiene, cleanability and safety in the food industry.
Machine guarding from NTF-Aalborg is modular and easy to install. Assembly can be carried out by a single person. Uniquely, the nets can be adjusted in both height and width during assembly. The solution can thus be adapted to any production line and allows easy mounting of brackets for switches, etc.
This flexibility ensures that you always get the best possible solution for machine protection and machine guarding customized to your needs. Read more about machine guarding: Comp-Line | Stainless and hygienic machine guarding | NTF Aalborg
