PRISMONT offers a complete range of hydraulic press safety solutions designed to protect operators while maintaining excellent visibility and functional access to the work area. Whether the goal is to contain flying debris, secure the press environment, or meet recognized safety standards, our solutions integrate naturally into industrial workshops without compromising productivity.
A hydraulic press is an industrial machine used to apply significant force to a workpiece using a hydraulic system. It is widely used for forming, assembling, compressing, cutting, stamping, and shaping materials across many industries.
Because of the forces involved, the materials processed, and the nature of press operations, hydraulic presses can generate flying debris or fragments. Proper machine guarding helps reduce these risks while ensuring a structured, compliant, and safe working environment for operators.
PRISMONT offers several complementary solutions to address the different safety requirements of hydraulic presses, including projection containment, perimeter guarding, and controlled access to the working area.
The MST-HPG steel mesh safety curtain is one of the most widely used solutions for hydraulic press guarding. Made from black steel mesh, it allows light to pass through while maintaining excellent visibility, helping operators stay focused on the task at hand.
Robust, fireproof, and corrosion-resistant, the MST-HPG is designed to effectively stop flying debris without creating secondary hazards. Despite its strength, it is lightweight, easy to install, simple to clean, and durable, offering excellent resistance to tearing and long-term wear. Its fast opening design provides quick access to the press and helps maintain high productivity.
Available in a very large number of sizes, the MST-HPG covers a wide range of hydraulic press widths and heights. Each curtain protects one side of the machine; multiple curtains can be combined to secure several sides depending on the required configuration.
The MST-HPG meets high industrial safety requirements and complies with OSHA and ANSI B11.19-2003 standards for projectile injury prevention. It also exceeds ISC/GSA Criterion 3b (GSA-TS01-2003) and meets the requirements of UFC 4-010-01, recognized in North America for protection against hazardous projections during explosions.
The MST-BF10 is an interlocked safety screen designed to secure frontal access to hydraulic presses and similar machines. It features multidirectional opening (vertical, horizontal, left, or right) with quick adjustments using a release knob and friction joints.
Mounted directly to the machine, the MST-BF10 provides a full field of vision while preventing press operation when the screen is open or improperly positioned. It complies with OSHA, ANSI, ISO-EN, and CE machine safety standards.
An optional accessory is available for this model, allowing the addition of an extra articulated arm to increase reach and extend the system’s working radius.
For applications requiring full perimeter protection tailored to a specific press environment, PRISMONT offers custom aluminum extrusion guarding systems.
These systems are designed according to the exact dimensions, constraints, and operational needs of each installation. Structures made from clear anodized aluminum extrusion, with or without polycarbonate inserts, provide an optimal balance of protection, visibility, and rigidity. Modules are pre-assembled to simplify on-site integration.
Custom perimeter guarding systems are offered with professional installation and integration performed by PRISMONT’s qualified technicians. Due to the nature of the product and required on-site work, these solutions are available exclusively in Québec (Canada).
To extend the service life of safety equipment and maintain high levels of protection and visibility, PRISMONT also offers replacement safety screens compatible with its hydraulic press guards. This allows maintenance or component replacement without changing the entire guarding system, simplifying upkeep and supporting long-term compliance.
Selecting the appropriate guarding solution depends on several factors, including:
PRISMONT supports industrial facilities in evaluating their needs and selecting the most suitable safety solution for their specific operations.
PRISMONT also offers a turnkey installation service for hydraulic press safety solutions. Performed by qualified technicians, installation ensures safe integration, regulatory compliance, and adaptation to the specific constraints of each machine.
This service provides a complete solution, from guard selection to commissioning on the shop floor.
