Machine Guard Fencing Prevents Ore Splatter from Crushers at South African Gold Mine
2026-04-30
Heavy-duty machine guard fencing is used at a Johannesburg gold mine to enclose crushers, with the mesh structure designed to withstand the impact of ore. Following installation, accidents involving injuries from flying debris have fallen from 12 per year to zero, meeting mine safety standards. The mine manager stated: “The mesh allows for observation of the crushing process, and the fencing can be dismantled and reinstalled in 10 minutes during maintenance. This has reduced downtime by 50%, increased daily ore processing capacity by 800 tonnes, and reduced annual losses from workplace injuries by over US$150,000. The fencing has withstood dust for three years without clogging.”
