RUBASIA RUBBERTECH’s Heavy-duty PVC curtain strip hangers consist of a rail system and individual clamps used to suspend overlapping PVC strips in industrial or commercial settings. They are built to endure heavy usage from machinery like forklifts while maintaining an environmental barrier. 

 

Components of a heavy-duty hanger system

A complete hanger system includes the following main parts:

• Hanging rail: This is a horizontal track mounted over a doorway. The most durable rails are made from stainless steel (e.g., SUS 304) or galvanized steel for corrosion resistance.
• Clamps or hook-on plates: Also called "fingers," these secure the individual PVC strips to the hanging rail. In a hook-on system, a stainless or galvanized steel plate is attached to the top of each strip, allowing it to hook directly onto the rail.
• Fasteners: Bolts, nuts, and screws are used to secure the clamps to the PVC strips and the rail to the wall or lintel. 

 

Key features for heavy-duty applications

When choosing a hanger system for a high-traffic or industrial environment, consider the following features:

• Durable materials: For environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, or frequent cleaning (like walk-in coolers and food processing areas), stainless steel (Grade 304) hardware is essential for its superior corrosion resistance. Galvanized steel is a more economical option for standard industrial applications.
• High-strength design: The clamps and rails are built to withstand the force of repeated impacts from forklifts and pallet jacks. Systems designed for heavy traffic use larger and stronger components compared to standard-duty options for foot traffic.
• Hook-on installation: This quick-mount system allows for fast and easy installation or replacement of individual PVC strips without special tools. The pre-drilled strips and attached clamps simply hook onto the rail.
• Adjustable overlap: The hook-on rails are designed with specific spacings to achieve the desired overlap of the strips, which creates a more effective thermal or environmental seal. Systems with an adjustable overlap offer greater flexibility.
• Sliding or folding options: For applications where the entire curtain needs to be temporarily moved out of the way, specialized hanger systems with rollers allow the strips to slide to one side. 

 

Common applications

Heavy-duty PVC strip curtain hangers are used in many industrial and commercial settings to provide effective environmental control:

• Warehouses and loading docks: To maintain separation between indoor and outdoor climates, control dust, and reduce energy costs from heating or cooling.
• Cold storage and freezer rooms: Polar-grade PVC strips with corrosion-resistant stainless steel hangers create a robust seal that preserves temperature.
• Manufacturing plants: To separate different production areas, minimize noise transfer, and contain fumes or airborne particles.
• Automotive repair shops: To create partitions that protect areas from dust and noise.
