Dust-tight segregation between Spectra Packaging’s production and storage zones
Sector: Manufacturing
Company: Spectra Packaging
Location: Suffolk
Overview: Dust-tight segregation for production
Solution: Flexiwall
Spectra Packaging deliver flexible and responsible solutions for plastic packaging and work with leading brands in the toiletries, cosmetics and personal care sectors.
Spectra needed a way to segregate their manufacturing site in Suffolk, specifically creating segregation between production and storage areas.
Westgate Global provided a Flexiwall partition that was 20m wide x 5.6 – 7.8m high with a curved roof. Spectra made it clear that the structure needed to be very corporate, with the colours matching their existing brand colours. One of the many benefits of using Flexiwall is that it’s very easy to provide corporate colours and branding to ensure consistency.
As well as the Flexiwall partition, 2 sliding pedestrian doors and 1 Fastflex fast action door at 4x4m were installed. With the Fastflex fast action door, an intelligent radar sensor was installed to detect forklifts but not humans. The additional steelwork for these was also manufactured and installed by Westgate Global. This kind of integrated solution is something Westgate Global often provide, whenever the project or client requires some additional extras to the system.
Flexiwall’s unique suspended installation method and the cleverly designed v-overlap to connect panels ensures an over 99% dust tight seal, dramatically reducing the risk of contamination between two separate areas.
On-site installation of both Flexiwall, Fastflex fast action doors and pedestrian doors took place over four days. One of the benefits of Flexiwall is the quick installation time, which means less downtime for businesses. And crucially, the installation process creates less dust and mess compared to timber stud or masonry partitions.
