Overview of the Polymer Pump Coupling Guard
What if you could get a coupling guard right off the shelf? Moreover, it is available in standard safety colors, spark-proof, vibration-free, and theft-resistant. If so, then this is for you. The Polymer Pump Coupling Guard offers all these benefits and more. Additionally, these products are designed and manufactured by Alternative Product Solutions (APS).
Mayor advantages above steel coupling guards
Corrosion resistant: In high humidity, especially close to the coast, these guards will not rust. Furthermore, the polymer pump coupling guard is resistant to many aggressive products when pumping. Additionally, when steel rusts, it becomes weak and consequently does not offer the protection it should. However, this will not happen with the polymer coupling guard.
Spark Proof: Steel coupling guards can cause sparks if they accidentally touch the rotating parts of a pump or motor. This is very dangerous in highly flammable environments. Conversely, with the polymer pump coupling guards, you do not have that risk.
Vibration Resistant: Steel guards can cause vibration and noise and, thus, do not add value to your pump set. In contrast, our product is rigid and quiet, ensuring optimal performance.

Design and Materials
We have three model sizes with the bigger models in development stage. The 3 standard sizes can cover from a F50 to a F110 tire coupling. These are based on the diameter of a Fennar Flex coupling dimensions. The depth of the guard covers the motor shaft and the pump shaft for maximum protection. On the inside there are different recesses casted for the different motor frame sizes.
The material is a Shore D polymer that is tough and can handle vibration. You can use standard hand tools to change the guards for bigger shaft heights. The polymer pump coupling guard can be casted in different colors and can also branded. We are also able to assist you with a specific polymer pump coupling guard for your needs.
