AMP Wire was founded 30 years ago to manufacture Machine Guards for an array of industries from HEVAC and Air Conditioning companies to Offshore and the Food Industry.
Each application requires a different type of guard as no two are the same. Our wire mesh Machine Guards are manufactured to your requirements and specification.
Most Machine guards are manufactured using traditional ½” mesh (12.7mm x 12.7mm x 1.6mm wire) but on occasions we are asked to supply guards using 25mm square mesh (1” x 1” 12swg) and 50mm square mesh (2” x 2” 12swg / 10swg). We can also manufacture the guards in 304 or 316 Stainless Steel.
The traditional ½” mesh helps with conforming to BSPD 5304:2019 Safety of Machinery for distance from moving parts. AMP Wire manufacture Machine Guards to your specification as we are not aware of the type of machinery you will be using the guards on or any of the distance from moving parts etc.

Below are a few examples of the Machine Guards we can manufacture.
Anti-Spark Guards
We manufacture a range of anti-spark guards by adapting our standard machine guards. We make the fan and motor shaft larger and braise brass plates in place before coating. We can also manufacture full brass guards, but these guards have a lot less free air space.
Coffin Drive Guards
Used predominantly by Air Handling companies where the motor and fan shafts come through the back of the guard and the front cover is removable. Hence it looks like a coffin!
Banjo / Split or Universal Drive Guards
Banjo, Split or Universal Drive Guards are also used by AHU and HEVAC companies to cover the belt that runs between the motor and the fan. The guard can be fully removed for maintenance as the guard splits down the middle.
Run & Standby Guards
Run and Standby guards are used by hospitals where they have a backup motor, hence the two adjustable shaft positions. We manufacture various types of Run and Standby guards, with a separate back or split down the middle.

Machine Guards are usually manufactured from mild steel wire mesh, but we can also manufacture in 304’s or 316 grade stainless steel, which is hard wearing and essential in off shore and medical environments.
We can also offer different sizes of wire mesh to suit your requirements.
Finishes
BZP Coating is our most popular finish but might not be right for your application or environment. Below are a few examples of the different finishes we can offer:
