How Small Of Particles Does An Industrial Mesh Machine Guard Protect You From?

While no guard will stop all projectiles, our guards have a smaller pass-through size than the competition and have approximately 7200 individually welded rings per sq. foot – making them incredibly strong and puncture resistant. Our industrial mesh can stop projectiles down to 1/8” – a much smaller size than the competition can typically handle. Even in the event of a breakthrough the projectile force is reduced, decreasing the likelihood of injury.

Do You Sell The Mounting Hardware With A Hydraulic Press Guard?

We typically sell our guards with hanging rings along the top edge to fit ¾” electrical conduit. It is usually much more cost effective to bend a hanging rod on-site. With all of the conduit hanging hardware available, mounting is usually accomplished in a few minutes with a few dollars of hardware. This saves valuable shop time and money over building a guard mount in house. However, MailleTec is developing a mounting kit if you prefer to purchase a complete system. Ask us about which approach would best suit your shop!

What Are The Stats For The Industrial Mesh? 

Our industrial (21g 9/64″) mesh weighs 0.73 lbs/sq.ft. (3.56kg/m2). The rings used in this mesh have an outer diameter of 0.215 inches, an inner diameter of 0.149 inches and a wire diameter of 0.028 inches. The industrial mesh has approximately 7216 rings/sq.ft. The industrial rings are approximately the same size as the medium rings, but with thicker wire. The thick wire combined with a smaller ring size makes the industrial mesh our strongest chainmaille ever.
