The bulky waste shredder is a professional equipment, mainly used for crushing, compressing and separating bulky waste. The appearance of this kind of equipment usually looks rough, because the rotating parts generated during operation may pose a safety hazard, so some people will consider whether it is necessary to install a protective cover for the outside of the bulky waste crusher to improve the safety of the equipment.
The role of protective cover in equipment safety
The protective cover is a structure used to cover the outside of the equipment to protect the people around it and the accessory equipment of the equipment from being damaged or endangered by the rotating parts in the crusher. With the development of society and industrial economy, people have higher and higher requirements for the safety and reliability of environmental protection equipment. Therefore, in addition to the original safety precautions, installing a protective cover can further improve the safety of the equipment, so as to protect the personnel and the auxiliary equipment of the equipment from damage.
Does the bulky waste shredder need a protective cover
Regarding the question of whether a protective cover needs to be installed on a bulky waste shredder, there is actually no mandatory legal requirement or relevant regulations. However, installing a protective cover can bring good protection for the use and maintenance of the equipment. Therefore, in the actual operation and maintenance, it can be decided according to the actual situation of the project whether to install a protective cover for the oversized waste crusher. GEP has done a lot of oversized waste shredding projects. Some project customers did not install protective covers, and some customers installed protective covers. You can take a look at the project map below for comparison.

Precautions for installing protective cover for bulky waste crusher
If you decide to install the protective cover of the oversized waste crusher, when installing the protective cover, pay attention to the following items:
(1) The protective cover must be able to completely cover the rotating parts of the equipment to ensure the integrity and safety of the equipment.
(2) The material of the protective cover should have the characteristics of impact resistance, corrosion resistance, and weathering resistance, and it needs to pass professional quality inspection and certification.
(3) When installing the protective cover, it is necessary to consider the maintenance and maintenance of the equipment, so as to facilitate the maintenance and replacement of the equipment in the future.
(4) The equipment in operation should maintain the integrity and stability of the protective cover and carry out regular maintenance.
In short, as a high-speed rotating mechanical equipment, the bulky waste crusher may have certain safety risks during operation. Installing a protective cover can provide more guarantees for the safe operation of the equipment.
