OVERVIEW
When there is no existing structure to attach curtains to, the AKON Freestanding Welding Booth provides the ideal solution. These booths can be single-sided, four-sided, or connected together to form an entire row of welding stations. The modular bolt-together construction means layouts can be reconfigured in the future as your production requirements evolve.
Choose From Two Styles
PVC Strip Style
Freestanding welding strip booths use a PVC strip curtain to block harmful UV rays. The strips are available in 20 cm and 30 cm widths with an overlap to create an effective barrier whilst still permitting walk-through access. Strips are statically mounted and do not roll open.
Solid Curtain Style
Freestanding welding curtain booths use a vinyl curtain panel to block harmful UV rays. The curtain can be zip-tied to the frame for a fixed installation or fitted with roller hooks so the welding curtains slide to one side for easy entry and exit.
PVC Strip Materials
Protection From UV Rays
Tinted welding strips are specially formulated to filter hazardous UV radiation generated during welding processes. The material contains additives that enhance flame resistance whilst providing sufficient tint to protect nearby workers.
