Wood, Paper, and Pulp
In the wood, paper, and pulp industry, machinery operates in high-risk environments. High-speed saws, debarking machines, and the chemical and mechanical processes used to convert wood into pulp, as well as presses, shredders, and refiners, are only some examples of situations that pose significant risks to workers.
Fortress enhances safety in this industry by providing advanced interlocking systems and access control solutions designed to withstand harsh conditions, including dust, moisture, and chemicals. Our systems protect personnel from serious injury while ensuring efficient production flow.
