Any company that has a large open doorway will tell you that winds can have a detrimental effect on the workplace. Not only does it blow the external elements into the building but it also unsettles the dust and debris which can then be distributed around the building. It is this dust that can cause discomfort to some workers but more damning is the effect it has on the machinery within the building.
Dust and debris that is circulated around the building settles on the machinery and contaminates the working parts of the machinery. Intern this means that all oiled and greased parts that were once running very smoothly soon become very gritty thus meaning the machine requires a servicing more frequent.
Even when serviced the constant effect of grinding dust begins to slowly corrode the working parts of the machine and reduces the lifespan.
Speedflex high speed doors can be installed within the opening to reduce the amount of time the door is open and therefore eliminate constant winds passing through the workplace.
Another alternative is to position a PVC partition wall or strip curtain around the machinery to prevent the infiltration of dust and debris.
All the above options help create a more comfortable working environment for the staff and also help prolong the lifespan of the production machinery.
