Abstract
A protection system (7) for container treatment machine comprises a support frame (8) with a base frame (9) extending in a longitudinal direction parallel to a treatment path of containers and at least one individual support member (10) connected to the base frame (9), at least one individual protection panel (11), at least one individual guide means (12) configured to define a movement path of the individual protection panel (11) between a closure position and an opening position, at least one auxiliary positioning means (13) configured to apply an auxiliary force to the individual protection panel (11), said auxiliary force acting in the direction of said movement path against the force of gravity of the individual protection panel (11), wherein the guide means (12) movably connect the individual protection panel (11) to the individual support member (10) and the auxiliary positioning means (13) is interposed between the protection panel (11) and the support member (10) such as to form at least one individual panel-support-guide-positioning-module (14) adapted to be connected to said base frame (9) in an adjustable position along said longitudinal direction thereof.
