Custom Machine Guards & Protective Covers | BDM
Industrial machinery doesn’t come with a one-size-fits-all cover. At BDM Leather & Canvas, we design and manufacture custom protective covers and machine guards for food processing, manufacturing and industrial sites across Australia — built to your exact machine, your environment, and your cleaning regime. If standard covers don’t fit or don’t hold up to your wash-down process, we’ll build one that does.
Featured Project — Food Processing Machine Cover
The Brief: A food processing client needed a protective cover for a machine on their production line.
The Challenge: The cover needed to reduce cleaning at the end of each shift, while fitting tightly enough that there was no risk of it coming loose and creating a hazard on the food processing line. It also needed clear panels so the operator could see how the machine was running without removing the cover.
The Solution: BDM manufactured the cover from premium PVC for long-term durability and to withstand regular chemical cleaning, with marine-grade clear panels built in so the operator keeps full visibility without needing to remove the cover.

Materials We Use
Premium PVC — durable, chemical-resistant material suited to wash-down and food processing environments

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you make machine covers to custom sizes and shapes?
Yes — everything is made to order. We work from your machine’s dimensions to build a tight, secure fit rather than a generic cover.
Can the cover include clear panels for visibility?
Yes — we can build in marine-grade clear panels so operators can check the machine is running correctly without removing the cover.
What materials do you use for food processing environments?
We typically use premium PVC for its durability and resistance to chemical cleaning. When you contact us, we’ll confirm the right specification for your environment and cleaning regime.
Do you take on one-off protective cover projects?
Absolutely — one-off projects are welcome. Many of our best ongoing jobs started as a single custom cover built to solve a specific site problem.
How do I get a quote for a custom machine cover?
Get in touch via our contact page with a description of the machine, its environment and your cleaning requirements. We’ll come back to you promptly with a no-obligation quote.
