When a multinational FMCG company needed to carry out groundworks directly alongside a live ice cream production line at their Gloucester facility, they needed to keep production moving without compromising product safety. Westgate Global supplied and installed Flexiscreen, a temporary, dust-tight screening solution, to create a protective, hygienic barrier between the works and the production area.
Flexiscreen contamination barrier for live production during groundworks at a major food manufacturer
For a multinational FMCG business operating a live ice cream production line, production contamination is key. Dust, debris and particulates pose a direct risk to product integrity, and any disruption to production schedules carries a significant commercial cost. When groundworks needed to be carried out in close proximity to the live line at their Gloucester facility, a solution was needed that could protect both product and production — without bringing operations to a halt.
Flexiscreen keeps production running safely
Traditional scaffold sheeting was not adequate for an environment with such stringent hygiene standards. The client needed something more robust and genuinely effective at containing dust and debris. Flexiscreen provided a temporary screening system that installs quickly and cleanly, achieving a 99% dust-tight seal once in place.
By creating a sealed barrier around the groundworks area, Flexiscreen effectively prevented particulates, debris and contaminants from reaching the production line, maintaining the hygiene and quality control standards the client’s processes demand, and allowing the groundworks to proceed on schedule without interrupting ice cream production.
