UNIFLOW provides heavy-duty industrial partition solutions designed to maintain thermal efficiency, cleanliness, and operational workflow in factories and food processing facilities. The product lineup includes Slit Curtain (strip curtains), Hyper Accordion Sheet (folding partitions), and Hyper Curtain, featuring specialized material options such as insect-resistant (orange), cold-proof, and certified flame retardant. Supported by rugged hardware systems (MC, ZS, SW Series), these partitions are ideal for forklift traffic areas and cleanroom environments.
Selecting the right partition is crucial for maintaining efficiency and a clean work environment. UNIFLOW provides various partition solutions specifically designed for the backyards of food facilities and factories. The main solutions offered include Slit Curtain, Hyper Accordion Sheet, and Hyper Curtain.
1. UNIFLOW Slit Curtain (Strip Curtain)
The Slit Curtain is a strip-shaped PVC vinyl curtain primarily used for the backyards of food facilities and factories.
Key Features and Benefits
- Flexible Access: This strip-shaped curtain can be opened and closed smoothly, allowing free access from anywhere.
- Environmental Protection: This curtain is insect-proof and dust-proof as it minimizes the entry of objects from the outside.
- Sanitary Environment: The use of vinyl sheets allows for the creation of a cleaner and more sanitary working environment.
- Air-Conditioning (AC) Efficiency: It allows people to go in and out quickly between the sheets, maximizing the air conditioning effect and keeping the room temperature constant.
- Natural Lighting: The clear sheet variant provides high daylighting properties, illuminating spaces such as work areas.
- Flame Retardant: Available in a flame-retardant sheet variant that meets the certification standards of the Japan Fire Retardant Association (Registration Number: E-13-40520). This sheet can be safely used for partitioning in factories that require fire protection measures.
Slit Curtain Material Variants
- Flat Sheet: A transparent and flexible sheet suitable for areas with heavy traffic, such as factories and supermarkets.
- Sheet with Rib: Features ribs on both sides, making it harder to damage. This design is an improved type that reduces the characteristic stickiness of PVC (vinyl chloride) materials.
- Antistatic & Insect-resistant (Orange): Highly recommended for preventing insect intrusion, especially in 24-hour food processing plants.
- Super Cold-proof: Specifically designed for refrigerator or freezer doors, and suitable as cold room partitions in storage warehouses.
- Smoke: Functions as a sunblind and provides protection against fading caused by direct sunlight.
Performance and Technical Testing
- Anti-Wind Effect: Capable of preventing wind and rain from entering by strengthening air-tightness through the sheet’s own weight (thickness) and its overlap ratio. The curtain will not easily turn up, even in strong winds.
- Anti-Insect Effect: The orange sheet blocks the 350nm wavelength area, which is where insects are most sensitive, thus preventing insects from flying into the room.
- Sound Insulation: Effective in reducing operational noise. In testing, the noise level dropped by an average of 16 dB after the Slit Curtain was installed, providing a greater noise reduction effect at higher Hertz ranges.
2. Hyper Accordion Sheet
The Hyper Accordion Sheet is a partition designed specifically for indoor use only.
Advantages of Hyper Accordion Sheet
- Gap Reduction: This system minimizes the sheet joining parts, drastically reducing the entry of dust and wind into the room.
- Smooth Operation: It can be opened and closed very smoothly, providing the same operational feel as a sliding door.
- Compact Folding: When fully opened, its folding margin is very small, about 1/10 of its opening width (for the 250W type). This ensures a large access opening and keeps the interior looking neat when folded.
- Connection Method: The sheets are connected using a weld type (90% of products use this method) or a plate connecting type.
3. Hyper Curtain & Hyper Curtain with Reinforcement
Hyper Curtain is a thin partition sheet (indoor use only) that offers excellent cost performance.
Hyper Curtain Features
- Maximum Lighting: Keeps the inside of the room bright.
- Energy Saving: Partitions a large room based on people’s movement and directs air conditioning only to the required spaces.
- Material Options: Comes with a wide variety of variants, including sheets without threads (standard clear, heat-proof, light green, etc.) and yarn-incorporated types for increased durability.
Hyper Curtain with Reinforcement
- Strong Structure: Utilizes an accordion metal framework structure that provides extra strength to the thin sheets.
- Air-tightness: The air-tightness level is enhanced by using 2 sheets.
- Large Size Capacity (Type 22): The maximum manufacturing size for Type 22 can reach a width of 20,000 mm (20 meters) for double leaves, and a maximum height of up to 4,000 mm (4 meters).
4. Hardware Specifications and Overlap Ratio
UNIFLOW provides various choices of metal fittings and rails that can be customized according to the installation site requirements.
- Fitting Series: The MC and ZS Series offer construction efficiency with overlap ratio options ranging from 0%, 33%, 50%, 66%, up to 100%.
- SW Series: Features strong durability, making it highly suitable for facilities with heavy traffic such as factories and warehouses.
- Installation Types: Available in Fixing type, Sliding type, and Accordion type.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The Ribbed variant features raised ribs on both sides, effectively reducing surface friction and the characteristic stickiness of PVC material[cite: 1]. This ribbed design makes it significantly more durable, resistant to damage, and highly recommended for areas with frequent heavy equipment traffic.
Yes, UNIFLOW offers Flame Retardant material options that have passed testing and comply with the certification standards of the Japan Fire Retardant Association under Registration Number E-13-40520
For food processing areas, an Antistatic & Insect-resistant orange variant is available. This sheet specifically cuts off light wavelengths around 350nm—the exact spectrum insects are most sensitive to—preventing them from being attracted into the facility.
Absolutely. The Super Cold-proof variant is formulated specifically for refrigerator or freezer environments. It is engineered to remain flexible and crack-resistant even when used as intermediate doors in extreme cold storage temperatures.
Hyper Accordion Sheets utilize welded seam technology that minimizes gaps, making them far more airtight against dust and wind compared to standard strip curtains. Additionally, when fully opened, they fold extremely compactly (occupying only about 1/10 of the total opening width), keeping operational pathways clear and wide.
