Safety guards engineered for the full range of packaging machinery — case packers, robotic palletizers, stretch wrappers, labeling machines, and form-fill-seal systems. Featuring FDA-compatible materials where required, quick-release panels for rapid jam clearing and maintenance, and properly positioned infeed and outfeed openings for continuous product flow.

Packaging machinery runs fast, changes frequently, and requires rapid access for jam clearing. Our guards provide full OSHA compliance without slowing down your production line.
Quarter-turn fastener and tool-free latch systems allow access panels to be opened in under 30 seconds for jam clearing and product inspection — then secured again instantly.
Aluminum framing, anodized hardware, and food-contact-rated polycarbonate panels compliant with FDA 21 CFR requirements for incidental food product contact areas.
IP65-rated hardware, sealed fastener pockets, and smooth-radius panel mounting for high-pressure washdown procedures in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical packaging environments.
Product transfer openings designed at OSHA minimum opening sizes for the product dimensions — allowing continuous product flow without safety distance violations.
All access doors fitted with safety interlock switches wired to the packaging machine's safety circuit — machine stops on door open, restarts only on deliberate operator reset.
Clear polycarbonate sections at operator monitoring stations and product verification points — visual inspection of fill levels, label placement, and case sealing without guard entry.
Packaging equipment guards from Modular Solutions are designed around each machine type's specific access, maintenance, and safety requirements.
Perimeter and top guards for intermittent and continuous motion case packers — with magazine access doors, case discharge openings, and glue system maintenance provisions.
Turntable, rotary arm, and ring-type stretch wrapper guards with pallet entry and exit openings sized for the stretch wrap cycle and forklift/AGV access requirements.
Guards for pressure-sensitive, sleeve, and shrink tunnel labeling machines — with label roll change access, product jam clearing panels, and inspection windows at label application points.
Guards for vertical and horizontal FFS machines — addressing the film infeed zone, forming tube area, and seal jaw region with separate access panels for each maintenance zone.
Guards for horizontal and vertical cartoning machines and multi-pack bundlers — with carton blank magazine access, in-feed jam clearing, and glue system service provisions.
Interconnected guard systems spanning multiple machines on a packaging line — consistent look and height, shared panel standards, and coordinated E-stop network across the full line.
Packaging equipment guards from Modular Solutions are deployed across food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods packaging industries.
Representative system parameters — all specifications are custom-engineered to your packaging machine types and line layout.
PMMI B155.1 (Safety Requirements for Packaging Machinery and Packaging-Related Converting Machinery) is the primary packaging equipment guarding standard. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.212 applies as the baseline. Modular Solutions designs packaging equipment guards to support compliance with both standards.
Access doors on packaging line guards must be interlocked to halt the machine or line segment when opened. PMMI B155.1 specifies access door performance requirements. Fixed guards on non-access sections do not require interlocks, but all personnel access points do.
Product infeed and outfeed openings are sized to pass packaging materials while limiting hand access to the minimum possible gap. Tunnel guards, anti-reach geometry, and light curtains at larger openings are common solutions. Modular Solutions designs these provisions as part of the full packaging line guard layout.
Yes — modular aluminum framing allows guard sections to be removed and reinstalled without special tools. Modular Solutions can design packaging guards with color-coded or labeled removable sections to streamline changeover while maintaining clear reinstallation procedures.
Case packers and palletizers at the end of packaging lines require their own guarding — interlocked perimeter panels around the machine's operating envelope, with pallet exchange openings guarded by light curtains or physical tunnel guards. Modular Solutions coordinates packaging line and palletizer guarding as an integrated system.
