Welding Curtain Tracks

welding curtain track

OVERVIEW

Welding Curtain Track with roller hooks allows you to roll the welding curtains side to side which allows maximum access to both sides of your welding area. The heavy duty curtain track is modular in design in that it comes in 1.8m, 2.4m and 3m lengths that easily bolt together.

Flexibility in Design

Welding Curtain Track

Akon can supply several different types of welding curtain track mounts to hang your welding curtains (See Below). These tracks are made from strong 16 gauge galvanized steel with a lifetime warranty. The heavy duty curtain tracks come in 1.8m, 2.4m and 3m lengths which splice together to form any length. This track utilizes radius corners to form enclosures or floor plates to be free-standing.

Industrialcurtainhooks.png

Industrial Curtain Hooks

The roller hooks allow the welding curtain to easily roll from side-to-side with minimal friction. These industrial curtain hooks come in two styles which are Nylon or Steel wheels with ball bearings. Nylon Rollers have a 18kg capacity while the steel rollers have a 34kg capacity. The steel wheels are utilized for very heavy curtains. They are spaced every 30cm in the track.

Curtain Track Supports

Depending on your needs, you can choose from many different track supports. The track supports are what holds the curtain track up. These supports clamp/bolt onto the straight track and are spaced about every 5’ to 8’ depending on your welding curtain weight. See the different styles below.

INDUSTRIALCURTAINCORNERS.png

Curtain Track Corners

Almost any configuration is possible with the use of the 90-degree radius corners. These 24” radius corners allow the curtain to roll from one side to the other with ease. Hard 90 degree corners are also available.

Material

heavy-duty-curtain-track

What is the curtain track constructed from?

The curtain tracks are constructed from either galvanized steel or stainless steel. They both resist rusting however the stainless steel is better suited for ocean side use, chemical wash down applications and certain food grade application. Stainless steel hardware is about 3 to 4 times the cost of the galvanized hardware and looks almost exactly the same.

How thick is the curtain track?

The standard curtain track is 16-gauge thickness. (Note 16 gauge = 1.61 mm) as shown in the image above. We also offer the same track in 12-gauge thickness (2.75 mm). However, this is often overkill for hanging curtains. The 12-gauge would be ideal for heavier loads where the track is being used to hold products, plates, tools, etc. If you want a quote on the heavier 12-gauge, simply ask your salesperson to update your quote.

Common Questions

Does the hardware come in any colors?

No. The hardware comes as plain galvanized steel. You can use spray paint to paint the track once it arrives. Example shown below.

painted-curtain-track-1

What are the dimensions of the curtain track?

Below you will see the dimensions of the standard 16 gauge curtain track.

Track-Spacing

How much weight can the roller hooks support?

The curtain track roller hook weight limits are as follows:

  • (2) Wheel Nylon Roll Hooks - 18kg Capacity each
  • (2) Wheel Steel Roller Hooks - 34kg Capacity each
  • (4) Wheel Steel Roller Hooks - 56kg Capacity each

Should I deduct curtain height to accommodate the curtain track?

If we quote you a curtain and a track we generally deduct 7cm from your requested curtain height to accommodate for the curtain track. This keeps your curtain just off of the floor.

Will the curtain track rust?

The curtain track is a 16 gauge hot dipped galvanized steel. It is designed for use in wash bays, outdoor use and  indoor use. It has a lifetime warranty and will not rust. However, if you have a very corrosive environment then we recommend you purchase the track in stainless steel. Please keep in mind that the stainless steel version is about 4 times the cost of the galvanized curtain track.

Straight-Splice-Connector-1

I want my curtains to overlap each other what hardware should I use?

You can have your curtains overlap with an overlap trolley as shown below. When you ask for your quote simply ask for this trolley.

Overlapping_Trolley-1

Where can I view all of the components?

This PDF has all of the components which you can view by clicking below.

Installation

How hard is it to install the industrial curtain track?

It is very easy. All of the components simply fit into each other and connect with set screws. The installation is very intuitive. If you have any difficulty simply call or email us and we will walk you through the process.

Can I simply drill straight through the track and into the ceiling / structure?

Yes. This is called a flush mount install and is very common. Simply drill through the middle of the track and use a small wood screw, bolt, Tek screw...ect into your structure. Space the holes about every .9m-1.5m.

What keeps the rollers from rolling out of the end of the track?

Each track comes with end stops that contain the rollers inside of the curtain track.

How close together do I need the track supports?

The track should be supported approximately every 1.5m with a track support. The farther apart the track supports, the greater the deflection. If you have a relatively light weight curtain then you could space the supports out to about 2.4m apart.

What size threaded rod do I use for the threaded rod curtain track?

You would use a 9.5mm  threaded rod which you can get from any local hardware store.

Whats a "splice" and what is a "connector"?

A Splice connects two pieces of track together. A Connector holds the track up. Keep in mind we also have splice connectors that are also a track supports. The one show in the graphic below is only a straight splice connector which does not hold the track up.
