Bespoke static curtain eliminates contamination
Union Industries has helped a Scottish manufacturer keep its state-of-the-art facility free from contamination with a bespoke static curtain.
The Static Dividing Curtain, which is suspended by using Union’s own proven suspension system, is approximately 40m long with a drop of 7.3m. It’s been designed specifically to help segregate Don and Low’s manufacturing area from its warehouse, eliminating heat and dust ingress, thus allowing its specialist non-woven products to be created in an optimal environment.
The system features a translucent upper section of fabric which helps to improve the light transfer efficiency in the manufacturing area – an important feature for Don and Low. The Dividing Curtain also has two PVC Strip Curtain access points for forklift trucks and pedestrian traffic.
The curtain also helped to contain the noise of the machinery in the area, maintaining enjoyable working conditions in the adjacent warehouse.
Don and Low plant engineer Andrew Taylor says: “Union’s Static Industrial Curtain has allowed us to create an isolated manufacturing area, which is free from contamination, in a cost-effective manner. The British-built product has been manufactured and installed to a very high specification and is extremely effective, so we are very pleased indeed.”
