Reinforced edges on strip curtains allow for easy movement of goods and machinery
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) strip curtains offer a solution in applications where dirt, dust or insects need to be kept out and where hygiene, humidity, temperature and noise need to be controlled.
Tests have shown that PVC strip curtains can reduce noise levels by between 7 and 15 decibels and can be used to enclose loud machinery to contain noise levels.
It is also used to control levels of humidity, where this is critical to the quality of finished products.
In packaging and warehousing operations, strip curtains can be used to keep the temperature at specific optimum levels. Applications where temperature control is important include food preparation areas, cold storage and freezer areas, as well as refrigerated trucks. In such facilities, PVC strip curtains can also be used to keep out dust and insects thereby maintaining levels of hygiene.
Similarly, in pharmaceutical and chemical plants PVC strip curtains are used to ensure hygienic and dust-free manufacturing and packaging areas.
