When it comes to conveyor systems, implementing the right safety features to pair alongside your automation solution is essential in keeping your warehouse team safe. That’s where conveyor catch nets come into play. These safety solutions create a reliable barrier between workers and falling items, helping to reduce accidents, prevent product damage, and support OSHA compliance.
By installing Carron Net conveyor catch nets, you can keep your team safe, minimize downtime caused by falling items, and create a safer environment. Choosing to implement this safety solution with your conveyor is a sure investment to a strong warehouse setup. Conveyor Netting can be installed in three common configurations:
- U-Profile, completely encapsulating the conveyor both below and on the sides
- Extended Profile, an extension of safety side guards
- Offset, suspended below the conveyor at a slight angle
What are the benefits of conveyor catch nets?
Prevent Injuries – Warehouses are filled with many moving parts, so when one item is out of place, the flow can be disrupted. Falling items from conveyors, especially in high traffic areas with workers and heavy-duty machinery, can pose serious safety risks.
Reduce Product Damage – Dropped inventory can lead to high costs and wasted items in facilities without conveyor catch nets. With these safety solutions, one can realize long-term cost savings by eliminating the risk of items falling and being damaged. Instead, a net will catch these falling items, and then simply be reintroduced onto the conveyor after being retrieved by a member of the team.
Reduces Bottlenecks – When items fall off of a conveyor system, it needs to be reintroduced back onto the conveyor line, but oftentimes, these items will be damaged or broken. This leads to delays and wasted inventory.
Without a conveyor catch net, it can be tricky to keep operations running smoothly and reintroduce inventory back onto the conveyor. With a catch net, items can be quickly retrieved, keeping a streamlined process.
Quick to Install – Adding on a conveyor catch net to your safety strategy is simple, hassle-free, and can be accomplished with minimal operational downtime. A conveyor catch net is simple to install and can be installed on existing conveyor lines.
Strong and Simple to Maintain – These warehouse safety solutions aren’t just effective; they’re built to last. Designed for strength, these nets ensure that items won’t tear through the nets. Beyond catching items, they’re simple to maintain, making them an easy solution and offering peace of mind for busy facilities.
Provides OSHA Compliance – One of the key benefits of having one of these conveyor catch nets is meeting OSHA compliance. These safety solutions provide a layer of protection against falling inventory, reducing workplace hazards. Using conveyor safety nets means prioritizing your team’s safety.
