From the first log in to dispatch
-
Winders and rewinders
Heavy rotating loads, high web tension and continuous running make every ingoing nip a risk. Our guarding contains each nip, wet end and dry end, with fast maintenance access.
-
Calender stacks and press sections
The most dangerous points remain sealed off, and the machine still runs unrestricted. Our guarding protects every roll interface along the stack, in accordance with EN ISO 14120.
-
Dryers and Yankee dryers
Keep people clear of the moving parts. Our guarding encloses drying cylinders, machine clothing and Yankee installations, with controlled access that keeps doctor blade changes quick.
-
Pulpers and stock preparation
Protect against a fall-in with physical guarding, not procedure alone. Barriers guard the line at every pulper, enclose the rotating equipment in stock prep, and control each access point.
-
Recovery boiler and chemical recovery
Firm boundaries around the recovery area, including the boiler and lime kiln. Our guarding and barriers define each one, sealing off the operation and controlling entry for authorised maintenance.
-
Wood handling and upstream processes
Keep people clear of the hazards in wood handling, from the source onward. Troax guarding protects against the struck-by and crush risks around chippers, debarkers and conveyors.
-
Roll storage, warehousing and traffic
Heavy roll-handling vehicles, forklifts and people share the floor. Barriers define the routes and protect the racking, while collision avoidance and traffic management cover the junctions and loading bays.

The questions we answer most
Yes, with the right specification for the conditions. Hot-dip galvanised panels and posts are built for wet, steam-laden environments, and corrosion-resistant options are available for chemically exposed zones such as bleach plant. The right choice depends on each area’s humidity, temperature and chemical exposure, which we assess for your site.
Yes. Our calendar-stack guarding protects every ingoing nip in accordance with EN ISO 14120 and the applicable machinery safety standards, while keeping the machine running as it should. Full compliance documentation comes as standard.
Yes. We plan installation around your maintenance windows and planned downtime, using phased sequences when full access isn’t available in a single window, keeping the machine in production while the safety infrastructure is installed,
Yes. Our CAS-G2 detection is built for the steam, obstruction and tight sightlines of a working mill, warning drivers the moment a worker enters a proximity or risk zone.
Yes. Our systems cover the full range: integrated kraft pulp and paper mills, tissue mills with Yankee dryers, recycled fibre operations, board mills and speciality producers.
