Welding spatters and sparks create an enormous nuisance and present major risks to welders and bystanders in the welding and grinding work area. Not only can they cause burns and inflict great personal suffering on employees but they can also present a serious impediment to the progress of the production process. Therefore, this problem can have a negative influence on the work of other employees.
Insufficient shielding of the work environment against spatters and sparks causes damage to the work in progress, loss of quality and creates considerable costs.
Sparks and spatters present a serious risk increasing factor for fires. For that reason, many insurance companies impose requirements regarding the covering and shielding of inflammable and/or costly materials which are located near the welding area.
Products made from fireproof materials should be used for effective protection against spatters. This requires careful consideration. Specific applications and work situations demand unique choices and customised products.
In order to ensure optimal protection against liability, tested and approved products should be chosen. CEPROŽ supplies these products.
CEPROŽ offers an extensive product package to provide shielding against sparks and welding spatters. The choice depends on the type of risk, the frequency of use, the proximity of the spark source and the different environmental factors. Products can be supplied for horizontal applications (welding blankets) or vertical solutions (curtains). In a great many cases it is also necessary and possible to supply custom made products.
CEPROŽ-CLEAR see-through curtains and strip curtains are resistant to all grinding sparks flying around and also offer a view of the work area. All CEPROŽ-CLEAR products are M-2 flame extinguishing. They offer an excellent protection to nearby co-workers who can work without any risk of burns or damage to products.
CEPROŽ heat resistant screens and curtains of fibreglass or silicate fibres offer a high degree of protection against welding spatters and important showers of sparks. To shield costly materials CEPROŽ supplies welding fabrics and blankets with different cooling times which can resist temperatures of 550°C to 1200°C. They can be supplied with different types of coatings for increased mechanical load-bearing capacity, higher peak temperatures, prolonged heat contact etc.
CEPROŽ spatter and spark resistant materials are available for several different applications to provide optimal safety in specific conditions:
CEPROŽ heat resistant fabric and blankets HERCULES (to 900°C), SIRIUS (1000°C) and OLYMPUS (to 1100°C)
