OVERVIEW

AKON’s motorised industrial roll-up curtains are engineered for high-frequency use across demanding commercial and industrial environments. Durable, efficient, and resistant to a wide range of workplace hazards, they provide an automated solution for dividing and managing large indoor spaces at the touch of a button. Powered roll-up curtains cost significantly less than permanent walls while delivering rapid overhead access, environmental containment, and enhanced personnel safety. Beyond factories and warehouses, they are equally effective in distribution centres, food production facilities, retail units, and agricultural buildings.

An Efficient And Flexible Design

How Do They Work?

Motorised industrial roll-up curtains partition production areas efficiently, creating clearly defined working zones. Once installed, a single button press raises the curtain for full access or lowers it to reinstate the barrier. They protect your workforce by screening off hazardous processes, machinery, and chemicals. Equipment is also safeguarded, as the curtains block moisture, dust, UV light, and other damaging elements.

Create Areas of Containment

Motorised industrial roll-up curtains are an effective way to form private or contained workspaces on demand. Their key advantage is versatility—you can redeploy them wherever they are needed most. When raised, they occupy no floor space at all. They also represent outstanding value, typically costing a fraction of equivalent permanent walls, and integrate seamlessly with existing building structures.

There are two types to choose from:

Industrial Manual Roll Up Curtains – Manual roll-up curtains raise and lower using a simple pull-cord pulley. They are straightforward to operate by hand, durable, reliable, and secure. Ideal for lower-frequency use, they form an effective physical barrier between personnel and hazardous zones. Each curtain is made to your exact specifications.

Industrial Powered Roll-Up Curtains – Operated at the push of a button, motorised curtains are the preferred choice for high-frequency raising and lowering where manual effort is impractical. They save time, free up staff, and maximise usable floor space while maintaining efficient environmental separation. Powered curtains are also ideal when multiple panels form a long wall, as they can raise and lower in tandem from a single controller. For tandem operation, please request this at the quotation stage.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is at the bottom of the shade?
The bottom of the shade features a pocket with a weight bar to keep the shade tight and to help keep it stable. A chain weight bottom can also be supplied.

What is the maximum shade width?
The ideal maximum shade width for the industrial roll up curtain system is 4.1m. The absolute maximum width can be 4.8m however there is a bit of deflection in the center of the tube at that width.

What is the maximum shade height?
The ideal maximum shade height for the industrial roll up curtain system is 7.5m.

Can it be mounted to the face of a wall?
Yes, but please keep in mind it would be preferred to mount the roller(s) to the underside of a structure if you want to overlap them to form long walls using multiple powered roll up curtains.

Can the motorized industrial roll up curtain be used outside?
Yes the roller and its assembly are all rated for outdoor use.

Can the shades be used in tandem to make long roll up curtain walls?
If you have a long drop down curtain wall requirement then we take the total width that you need to cover and break that into multiple drop down curtains. The curtain shades then overlap for proper coverage. An example is shown below and if you require more or less overlap then please inform your project manager. Please note if you don't want the shades to overlap we can quote them as a straight line with gaps in-between the shades from one roller to the next.
roll-up-curtain-wall

Can the shades be used in wash down area?
These are not made to be used in a washdown environment. The soap that is used in a lot of these wash bays is caustic and it corrodes the metal components. In addition to that, the motors are not waterproof.
