Hydraulic Press Mesh Curtain

Description

Hydraulic Press Mesh Curtain’s Description

An object ejected from a hydraulic press can become a deadly projectile and cause serious injury. Installed correctly, a steel mesh ejection curtain stops flying debris generated during press operations and allows it to fall safely to the floor. Installing a steel mesh ejection curtain allows easy access to machines while providing a lower cost method of meeting hydraulic press guarding standards. It offers convenient access and a cost-effective way to meet hydraulic press guarding practices.

The black mesh helps operators focus on the point of operation while still allowing natural light into the safeguarded area. Lightweight, maintenance free, robust, and easy to install, this curtain delivers effective protection without sacrificing visibility or throughput. The new multi-width rod fits press widths from 60.96 cm (24") to 162.56 cm (64") for broad compatibility.

Each Steel Mesh Ejection Curtain guards one side of the press. Therefore, 2 mesh curtain may be necessary if access to the back of the hydraulic press isn’t controlled or restricted using a curtain, safety guard or a wall.

Standards & Compliance

PRISMONT steel mesh curtains meet stringent industrial safety expectations:

• OSHA / ANSI B11.19-2003 – prevention of injuries from projectiles
• ISC/GSA Condition 3b (GSA-TS01-2003) — protection from glass fragment hazards during explosions
• Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 4-010-01 standard

These criteria ensure a high level of safety, reliability, and durability in demanding production environments.

How to Choose the Right Mesh Curtain Length

Our mesh murtains are available in varied lengths and widths. In order to choose the appropriate curtain size for your machine, you will need to measure the width of your hydraulic press (A on image below) as well as the its height (B on image below) from press top to the floor. Then, refer to this table to choose the correct safety guard. If your Press Width falls between two size options, choose the next larger size. Choose the height nearest to your Press Height.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Choose the Correct Curtain?

Measure the width of your hydraulic press (A on the reference image) and the height from press top to the floor (Mesure B on the reference image). Select your press width. If your width (A) falls between two sizeoptions, choose the next larger width. Choose the height nearest to your measured press height (B).

How Many Curtains Do I Need?

One curtain guards one side. If rear access isn’t blocked (chain, guard, or wall), use two curtains.

Can I Install the Curtain Myself?

Yes. Installation is straightforward with the supplied assembly kit and safety hooks.

Does the Curtain Block Visibility or Light?

No. The black mesh reduces glare and maintains clear visibility while allowing natural light into the work area.
