INDUSTRI TOOLS & EQUIPMENT ADDS WELDING SAFETY CURTAIN TO ITS RANGE

INDUSTRI Tools & Equipment’s manufacturing division offers the production of a wide range of custom-made industrial materials, including welding screens, strip curtains, fire blankets, spill mats, tarpaulins and dam liners.

‘Safety regulations – which require the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and other personnel protection during the operation of arc welding equipment - have been introduced to protect workers in or near welding areas,’ explains Lynette Badenhorst, product manager – Manufacturing, INDUSTRI Tools & Equipment, part of the Engineering Solutions Group (ESG) of Invicta Holdings Limited. ‘INDUSTRI’s locallymanufactured welding safety curtain and screen products are used in conjunction with other protective measures, like ventilation, cooling fans and respirators, to keep everyone in the environment safe.

‘The company’s flame-resistant welding curtains and screens form a safe enclosure, that withstands extreme heat exposure and limits the movement of welding chemicals and fumes, to protect welders and others in the facility, from the harmful effects of flashes, radiation and other debris, during welding work. Exposure to ultraviolet and infra-red radiation can lead to skin burns and severe eye disorders, such as ‘arc eye’ or ‘welders flash’ – a painful inflammation of the cornea, that may affect vision.’

INDUSTRI welding screens are manufactured using a laminate vinyl material with high tensile strength and the seams of the safety curtains are electronically-welded for durability and tear-resistance.

These systems, which have been designed for quick installation, easy access and simple re-arrangement, can also be positioned to create a sound barrier that contains the noise produced on-site during welding operations. These durable welding screens are suitable for use in every facility with a welding process, including engineering, workshops, mines, oil and gas, manufacturing and trade training centres.
