Screened for safety
December 1st 2007 Introduction of a flame
retardant and dust resistant
screen from Galebreaker
enabled Walkers Snack Foods
to begin food production in
one part of its new facility
while construction continued
in the remainder.
The temporary partition
wall has a full seal, creating
a dust-free, clean and
hygienic production zone. As
ovens are used in the
manufacturing process, the
partition had to satisfy Class
0 fire regulations and
provide rapid access to fire
door exits located within the
construction area of the
Skelmersdale facility.
The fabric used for the
screen is coated on each
side and achieves 113min
fire protection. It is said to
have the highest pass rating
for flammability.
Construction consultant,
Summers-Inman also
required a permanent
partition to shield the food
manufacturing area from the
pallet store and despatch
area. Galebreaker supplied
the solution using flexible,
flame retardant partitioning
screens. The permanent
screen has all the fire
walling and screening
properties of the temporary
partition and effectively
screens the manufacturing
line from the pallet
storage/despatch area. More articles from GBR Industries Ltd: |
