A Peek Behind Stronghold Safety’s New Ejection Curtain Kits

Protecting employees should be a top priority for every company, whether it be through implementing a company-wide safety plan or performing machine guarding assessments across your equipment. By emphasizing safety, you are showing your employees you care about their happiness and well-being. At Stronghold Safety, we’re passionate about making sure your company and employees are well protected. And as safety solutions continue to evolve, we can help make sure that you stay up to date on all of the latest machine safety products—including our new ejection curtain kits.

Ejection Curtain Kits from Stronghold Safety Engineering

To protect employees from harm in the workplace, you need to use the highest quality machine safety products and industrial safety services. Our new ejection curtain kits offer superior safety for a hydraulic press by preventing injuries caused by flying debris. These new kits are fabricated with the same steel mesh as the original design, but now have a multi-width curtain rod to fit a wide range of machine sizes from 24 to 64 inches.

Our ejection curtain kits work by wrapping around the machine and catching debris or shrapnel that might eject from the press during operation. This can be extremely dangerous for the machine operator and those who are nearby. By using an ejection curtain kit, you can lower the risk of injury or even death from a hydraulic press.

Steel mesh ejection curtains grant operators easy access to the machine—and provide a more cost-effective way to meet hydraulic press guarding standards. Because mesh allows natural light to pass through it, the operator is able to focus on the point of operation, enabling safer and more productive operations. Plus, the curtains are lightweight, easy to install, and maintenance free.
