UniGuard™ Machine Guard was created in 1994 when its founder Ken Brisk was given the task of overseeing that the machine guarding at the facility where he worked was brought up to current standards. With over 30 years of industrial maintenance experience, primarily in the power and chemical fields, Brisk was a maintenance planner for Hydra-Co Operations, which operates a biomass power plant in eastern North Carolina.
The innovative UniGuard™ Machine Guard is used primarily to enclose a rotating coupling or V-Belt connecting the shafts of the driven equipment and the driver (usually an electric motor) to prevent harm to people working around the equipment. Made from sturdy polyethylene, these guards can be custom-designed in any size–small or large – to cover the rotating shafts and drive components. The guards can be customized for users needing access doors for coupling maintenance (such as greasing), or with clear windows for viewing the rotating elements.
