Diacon Australia has a 20-year legacy of improving industry standards in conveyor safety and efficiency.
Engineered and manufactured in Australia, Diacon Australia’s innovative and versatile plastic conveyor improvement system stands at the forefront of the industry.
Over a two-decade history, the system has evolved through a commitment to understanding and addressing client needs and insights with precision and authority.
“At Diacon, we believe in not just meeting industry standards but redefining them,” Diacon managing director Brendan Refalo told Safe to Work. “This dedication to excellence ensures that our solutions not only enhance safety and efficiency but also lead the way in sustainable practices.
“In our experience, there is rarely a one-size-fits-all solution in the conveyor industry. It’s this understanding that has allowed us to thrive for 20 years; by listening to our clients and customising our systems to meet their unique needs, we’ve set ourselves apart and continue to lead in innovation and safety.”
With an unwavering commitment to flexibility, Diacon’s innovative plastic improvement system is seamlessly integrated into existing conveyors, showcasing its core strength.
Custom-manufactured bracketry, guards, hungry board, and conveyor hoods are tailored to meet the specific needs of each site, helping to ensure optimal safety and efficiency in every installation.
The versatile system is suitable for use in the manufacturing industry on moving machines and robotic enclosure applications, while also serving as barrier control for area demarcation in public transport and enhancing safety standards for conveyor belts in the mining and food processing industries.
The process begins with a comprehensive full 3D laser scanning of conveyor structures. Advanced technology allows the creation of detailed 3D models of the conveyor systems. By visualising the entire set-up in a digital format, the team can identify potential challenges and design solutions that enhance safety and efficiency.
