Warehouse Conveyor Systems
Conveyors keep goods moving in automated warehouses, but without the right protection, they pose real safety risks. Hazards appear at transfer points, entry and exit zones, or in shared spaces where people and machines interact. Axelent helps you secure conveyor systems with modular safety solutions designed to follow the flow without interruption.
Why automated conveyor systems need protection
Even conveyors considered safe by design can become dangerous depending on how they are used. High-speed movement, heavy loads and complex layouts create exposure zones where people and machines operate side by side.
Common risks in conveyor zones
- Crushing or draw-in hazards at belt transitions
- Unsafe access at crossovers or elevated sections
- Fall risks near suspended or raised conveyors
- Unprotected areas during short maintenance or troubleshooting tasks
In busy areas, even short maintenance or troubleshooting tasks can lead to accidents. That is why safety must be considered from the start and adapted as your layout evolves.
Axelent helps you build complete safety around your conveyor belt systems. We focus on safeguarding real danger zones while keeping the layout efficient and easy to navigate.
Our solutions include:
Machine guarding with panels featuring a 45° incline at entry and exit points
Barriers and brackets to prevent access under or between conveyors
Visual zoning and separation of walkways
Fall protection for elevated lines or suspended conveyors
All solutions are designed to meet EN 619, ISO 13857, ISO 14120 and ANSI B11.19 requirements.
Compliance from the start
Compliance from the start Late-stage safety changes on conveyor lines often mean redesigns, re-routing and delays. Axelent develops conveyor safety solutions in line with the EU Machinery Directive, EN 619, ISO 13857, ISO 13854, ISO 14120 and/or ANSI B11.19 Annex E as well as OSHA 1910.212. EN 619 sets the framework for guarding, access control and zoning on continuous handling systems. This applies from belt transitions to vertical lifts. By integrating these measures from day one you simplify validation and keep both goods and people moving safely.
