OVERVIEW
Coiled wire fabrics are used to create steel mesh safety curtains for a variety of new and retrofit industrial safety and security applications. These projectile curtains keep your personnel safe and debris contained in the event of a component ejection. The mesh steel curtains provide the machine guarding required under PUWER Regulation 11 and BS EN ISO 14120, protecting operators from flying debris during press, stamping, and machining operations.
Our steel mesh curtains are supplied to manufacturing facilities across the UK and Ireland. They offer a cost-effective, flexible alternative to rigid polycarbonate or steel panel guards, with the added benefit of maintaining airflow and visibility around your machinery.
Custom Ejection Barrier Curtains
Enclose Dangerous Areas
Custom Made Per Application
Rapid Access In Any Size
AKON supplies the UK and Irish market with a wide selection of industrial safety steel mesh curtains and security steel mesh curtains. We are your go-to partner for coiled wire fabric systems, providing bespoke design and technical installation guidance for every project.
For a variety of industrial and manufacturing applications, we provide both off-the-shelf and specially developed systems, including steel mesh machine safety guards, steel mesh blast curtains, and steel mesh security enclosures.
Our coiled wire fabric safety curtain barriers can be fitted in either stationary or mobile configurations using our carefully selected attachment hardware. They accommodate steel safety curtain panels of various shapes, densities, and aperture sizes whilst delivering the required performance.
All AKON coiled wire fabric curtains undergo thorough design, engineering, and testing processes to ensure the highest safety and security standards. This provides effective protection for your facilities and staff.
Easy To Install and Use
Steel mesh safety curtains deliver multiple advantages in manufacturing and engineering environments. They provide effective protection against flying debris, sparks, and ejected components, safeguarding both personnel and adjacent equipment. The mesh is sufficiently transparent for supervisors to observe operations whilst maintaining a secure barrier. Steel mesh curtains are inherently durable and wear-resistant, providing long-term reliability. They are adaptable and straightforward to install, allowing customisation for various machine configurations and workshop layouts.
Protection From Projectiles
Portable Steel Mesh Curtains
Mobile Ejection Curtains
Ejection curtains that are freestanding go where you need them and when you need them. These portable screens use locking castors to keep them in place once positioned. The frame can be repositioned with ease to provide permanent or temporary ejection safeguards at machines or along walkways. Move the portable ejection curtain to areas where it is needed, then when not required simply roll it away for storage. Your kit includes the steel mesh curtain, hanging hooks, mobile frame, and locking castors.
Hydraulic Press Curtains
Press Ejection Curtains
The hydraulic press safety barriers prevent injuries caused by flying, rolling, or sliding debris. These curtain guards are widely used in UK manufacturing and fabrication to provide protection during machine operation. The guards can easily be opened to load and inspect a part, then closed and secured during press operation. Our 6 mm weave 19-gauge hot-dipped galvanised steel or aluminised steel coiled wire fabric allows visibility of the machine process without sacrificing the operator's safety. Available in numerous sizes, our kits fit most hydraulic presses and equipment, plus we design and supply custom machine guards for special applications. The full kit includes: an adjustable steel pipe assembly kit, industrial safety hooks, and the steel coil curtain with a clear safety black finish.
Steel Mesh Curtain Benefits
Better Airflow
Steel mesh curtains allow for greater ventilation and airflow, ensuring that air around machinery is properly circulated. This prevents the build-up of heat generated by equipment and maintains a comfortable, productive working environment.
Quick Operation
Steel mesh curtains can be fitted with a variety of opening methods, including sliding or rolling systems, making them simple to operate and highly flexible. This maintains the required safety and security whilst enabling quick access to machinery for loading, inspection, and maintenance.
Many Applications
Steel mesh safety curtains can be used for a variety of purposes beyond safety barriers. They serve as partitions, dividers, or enclosures in industrial settings, dividing work areas whilst retaining full visibility and airflow throughout the facility.
Meet Regulations
Steel mesh curtains are designed and constructed in accordance with UK machinery safety regulations including PUWER and BS EN ISO 14120. By utilising these curtains, businesses ensure compliance with HSE requirements and mitigate potential safety risks.

WARNINGS
(*) AKON Curtains does not guarantee that the product is appropriate for your application. It is the responsibility of the designer, architect, engineer, and/or owner to determine if the materials are suitable for a particular application.
(*) Unlike other national and regional standards systems, the United States does not have an approved entity to certify fully integrated and installed guard systems for safety compliance. The responsibility of ensuring compliance falls to the employer, installer and/or OEM. We are confident in our product, but as all applications are different, it is imperative that you test our products for your particular installation. It is recommended that this application-specific analysis include testing to determine suitability from a technical as well as health, safety, and environmental standpoint.
