Standard overlap design ensures product containment.
Fastens to belt with hinge rods. No other fasteners required.
Sideguards are installed with the back ends angled inward, toward the product. This is called a product-friendly orientation. On request, the back ends can be angled outward, toward the conveyor sides.
When going around the 6- and 11-tooth sprockets, the sideguards fan out, opening a gap at the top that can allow small products to fall out. The sideguards stay completely closed when wrapping around the 19-tooth sprocket.
Standard gap between sideguards and flight edge: 0.06 in (2 mm)
