Compliance RMAUT04_Autoflow_Reduce_Guard_to_Floor_Height_Image2.png

Objectives

To comply with BS EN ISO 13857 the gap below a guard must be less than 180mm to prevent access for the whole body. The original installation will be higher than this, so the objective is to make this area of the machine compliant.

The guards on the Autoflow are fastened in a slot with 3 bolts and can be simply adjusted to reduce this height.

The objective is to reduce the height to 180mm or less.

This change will reduce the height of the guard, however this will still give an overall height of at least 1800mm.

Use a pair of spacers, possibly made from uPVC profile to easily set the height for each panel.
