Automatic personnel protection for conveyors, balers, shredders and other hazardous machinery		How Safetech works Safetech movie Safetech users Case studies Company profile Contact details

	When we first developed the original Safetech device, we knew we had a winning product. To prevent accidents on conveyors and other hazardous machinery, we found a way to make a reliable system that could distinguish human beings from material. If anyone comes into the danger zone, Safetech will switch off the machinery and prevent injury or death.				It's a very simple proposition and easily explains why today, Safetech systems are effectively protecting lives on hundreds of sites in the UK and across Europe and North America. We know the installations are rugged and reliable - our earliest systems are still going strong after over twenty years of successful operation. That's one of the reasons why Safetech is recommended by major manufacturers and installers of conveyors and baling equipment.
			But we can't pretend it's always been easy. We've put Safetech into some very hostile environments, with extremes of temperature and humidity, and often with high levels of background interference. Although you can create a virtual simulation of these conditions in the lab and workshop, what really counts is practical experience gained in the field. We know how demanding some locations can be and we've refined Safetech to become the sophisticated choice of systems currently available.
	Without our years of experience, we wouldn't be where we are today. From basic knowledge like realising that a pager-style device clipped into a pocket is unlikely to survive in a tough industrial environment, to finding ways of creating effective detection without interfering with wireless networks and communications.				We're sometimes asked why we don't allow customers to install Safetech themselves and why we recommend annual inspection. The answer's quite straightforward - if lives depend on a system, isn't that important enough to require installation by experienced technicians and regular checking by experts? We think so.
	Sentinel is the latest improved version of the personnel protection system developed and refined by Safetech for the recycling industry. Anyone wearing a detector belt is automatically safeguarded as the conveyor and shredder or baling press will stop before the worker reaches the hazard zone.
	We believe our extensive experience has put us in a unique position of having identified and solved the problems of providing reliable protection. Our systems are optimised to cope with electrical interference, extremes of temperature and humidity, and offer a choice of monitoring and alarm configurations.
