Guards for Food Processing
Protect Workers & Maintain Compliance with High-Quality Machine Guards
Reliable OSHA & FDA-Compliant Safety Solutions for Food Processing Equipment
Food processing facilities depend on high-speed machinery, conveyor systems, and automated equipment to meet production demands. However, these machines present risks—worker injuries, contamination hazards, and non-compliance with OSHA, FDA, and ANSI B-11 safety regulations. Machine Guard & Cover Company partners with food manufacturers to provide durable, sanitary, and cost-effective machine guarding solutions that enhance safety and efficiency.
In a recent project, Machine Guard & Cover supplied protective guards for stainless steel mixing equipment and conveyor belt systems in a large commercial bakery.
MGC offers a wide range of guarding options to suit every food processing application — including yellow, clear, metal-detectable, gasket-sealed, or unsealed designs with gaps for easy cleaning.
