Select protective screens appropriate for the work process
Protective screens organize production areas and reduce direct impacts on adjacent workstations. Depending on the process, they serve as visual screens, spark shields, particle barriers, or spatial dividers. To find the right solution, the protective function and daily workflows must be considered together.
Key Selection Criteria
✔ Determine the type of exposure to be shielded
✔ Specify the required height and width
✔ Select stationary or mobile model
✔ Take into account access points, material transport, and emergency exits
✔ Check compatibility with extraction technology
Fixed or mobile protective screen?
| Translation | Advantage | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Permanently mounted | Clear, consistent separation | fixed workstations |
| Mobile | quickly repositionable | varying tasks and repair areas |
| Modular System | Expandable and customizable | expanding or variable production areas |
Protective Screens for Welding and Grinding Operations
When welding, light radiation and flying sparks are the primary concerns. When grinding, the main concerns are particles, dust, and sparks as well. The material and design of the protective screen must therefore be suited to the specific hazards involved. The screen should provide adequate protection without unnecessarily restricting the work area.
Combination with extraction technology
Protective screens can affect airflow. This can aid in extraction but can also create unfavorable flow zones. Therefore, capture elements and screens should be planned together when airborne emissions are generated.
FAQ
When is a portable protective screen a good idea?
When work areas change frequently or only need to be temporarily shielded.
Can I combine multiple protective screens?
With modular systems, this is generally possible. The specific configuration depends on available space and the protection requirements.
Are protective screens the same for every application?
No. Welding, grinding, and other processes place different demands on materials, shielding, and layout.
Selection Guidance
The selection is determined by the process, required dimensions, mobility, and the desired level of protection. For work that generates dust or smoke, the existing extraction technology should also be taken into account.
