Safety Guarding Solution for Granges
Project Overview:
Granges, a leading manufacturer of rolled aluminum products, sought a robust machine guarding solution to enhance safety and productivity at its Newport, Arkansas, facility. Tasked with protecting workers while maintaining smooth production flows, Granges turned to White Horse, a trusted distributor of WireCrafters products. Through this collaboration, WireCrafters provided a customized machine guarding application that met Granges’ unique operational needs, ensuring OSHA compliance and safeguarding employees from potential hazards. This case study highlights how WireCrafters’ tailored machine guarding solutions contributed to a safer and more efficient work environment at Granges.
Customer Description
Granges required specialized machine guarding around a critical piece of equipment known as the SCHMUTZ, a Metal Foil Separating machine to enhance workplace safety. This machinery posed potential risks to operators and nearby workers due to its robust, high-speed operations, necessitating a physical barrier to prevent operators from getting too close to dangerous areas of the machine. WireCrafters designed a custom guarding solution to enclose the SCHMUTZ, reducing the risk of accidental contact and protecting against flying debris. The machine guarding application was crafted to allow visibility and ventilation, ensuring maintenance personnel could monitor the equipment while staying safe.
Why Choose WireCrafters?
White Horse chose WireCrafters for several vital reasons that aligned perfectly with Granges’ needs. WireCrafters provided exceptional expertise in machine safety, ensuring the SCHMUTZ guarding solution met stringent safety standards, but also offered hands-on support, assisting with the project directly on-site to streamline the installation process. The ease of installation of WireCrafters’ products was another critical factor, as it minimized downtime and allowed Granges to integrate the solution with minimal disruption. WireCrafters’ reliable lead times and local support further assured White Horse that Granges would receive prompt, efficient service from a trusted partner.
