Tarps in the Agricultural Sector

Date: Author: Elizabeth Horsfall

In the agricultural sector, tarps typically serve a wide range of applications. In many cases, farmers primarily rely on hay or bunker tarps for protecting their agricultural produce. To cite an example, after harvesting hay, farmers need to protect it from direct sunlight and precipitation. If left unprotected, hay could ferment quite rapidly or combust spontaneously. In addition, it could become mouldy or mildewed too. The use of high-quality tarps can serve to eliminate these occurrences.

 

Similarly, smaller farmers might not have the resources for constructing permanent structures. They will invariably require covered structures for protecting their crops or their equipment. These individuals can use tarps for making temporary storage structures. Tarps can offer superlative levels of protection from the sun, precipitation and pests. Polytex tarps come in varying sizes. So, finding a tarp of the right size for covering your equipment is not a problem at all.

 

In some cases, farmers have even used our shelter covers for protecting their outbuildings. This is especially so during the harvest season, when the walls or the roof of the structure might develop holes. Farmers seldom have time during the harvest season. So, by covering the hole with a tarp, they can afford to get by until the end of the harvest season, at which point they will be able to carry out the necessary repairs. Besides this, farmers also use our tarps for covering their products during transportation to the markets. This is necessary to prevent the dispersal of the produce during the transportation.

Warehouse curtains and wall dividers can also help to improve the aesthetics of your facility. If you are thinking that all warehouse curtains look pretty much the same, then you’d be wrong since modern technology has allowed manufacturers to customise tarps which can be used as warehouse curtains and wall dividers. You can have your business logo and name written on the tarps to be used, and even have graphic elements printed on them should you wish to. In fact, there are many businesses who order shelter covers and have their business names and log and other graphic materials printed on the tarps.

Warehouse curtains and factory dividers made with tarps are also flexible walling options, and is great if you are looking for a temporary divider for your facility. They are sturdy and solid walling options, but they can also be easily taken down and moved or used in another section of the facility.

Limiting Pollution, Contaminants, and Mess

Keeping your warehouse clean is a must. However, this can be a challenge especially given the conditions that many warehouses face. For instance, large open windows and doors pave the way for entry of dust and dirt which can accumulate rather easily if left unattended even for just a while. In a vehicle warehouse where they also do auto body servicing for example, there is a huge risk of contamination since paint and oils are used on an almost daily basis. Suffice to say that whatever industry or sector you may be, the problem of dirt and contaminants is a reality that your warehouse will need to deal with.
Warehouse curtains are excellent ways of limiting the entry of pollutants and contaminants into your warehouse. In fact, the same principle applies when it comes to using tarps as poultry curtains or pig shelters, with the tarps serving to protect the whole poultry yard from the entry of pollutants and contaminants. Acting as a shield, they provide a barrier that keeps dust from not only accumulating on the floors and walls but also prevents them from getting into your machineries and equipment which can have a negative impact on their function and performance. Needless to say, this can in turn a negative effect on your bottom line and may even cause you to incur unnecessary expenses due to premature repairs.

Temperature Control

Even warehouses will need to maintain certain temperature levels for a variety of reasons. For one, they need to do so in order to protect their products, such as in the case of food storage warehouses. Controlling temperature also helps to keep the people working in the warehouse comfortable, which should help improve their performance and productivity. Temperature fluctuations are also a common problem especially during those hot or cold months.
Instead of having expensive temperature control systems installed, you can opt for warehouse curtains or factory dividers, especially if the temperature fluctuations in your warehouse only varies by a few degrees every now and then. They are very cost-effective solutions for minor temperature control needs, and can help save your business thousands of dollars from heating or cooling systems.

Curtains and Wall Dividers for Office

Effective Office Partitions

As mentioned earlier, warehouses often serve as office spaces for various departments since most warehouses are expansive spaces. For instance, a logistics company may have several departments working in the same warehouse, departments like sorting, packaging, and even accounting and other administrative offices. There are several disadvantages to this kind of setup.

For one, there may be mix-ups with the products or items being handled. Second, certain departments may overlap in their tasks. These can all be effectively addressed by installing warehouse curtains to serve as partitions for the different departments in the warehouse. These warehouse curtains and factory dividers can help to keep operations organized and flowing smoothly and even boost the employees’ productivity since they can focus on their tasks and not have to worry about overlapping assignments.

Limit Visibility to Certain Areas

Warehouse curtains are one of the best ways to limit visibility to certain areas of the warehouse which you don’t want other people to see. Though not an everyday occurrence, guests and visitors may suddenly be interested in seeing your warehouse. These people may be potential business partners or investors, or they may even be visitors of your employees who came to drop off a lunchbox or a note. Either way, you will find that you want certain areas of your warehouse to be kept away from their sight, may be because you have a special product you don’t want them to see or maybe because of a sensitive project on the works. Warehouse curtains are an excellent solution for this kind of dilemma.
Warehouse curtains and factory dividers come in a variety of styles and designs, and though there are many warehouse curtains which are transparent, you have the options to choose from solid colours as well in order to completely block out the view.

Curtains and Wall Dividers for Warehouses Helps Block Out Noise

Date: Author: Elizabeth Horsfall

Some warehouses start their daily operations early in the morning, and during these times, forklifts will usually start driving around as they move goods and items, and supervisors also start shouting orders to their teams—yes, shouting is often necessary in order to make their voices heard over the noise created by the forklifts and other machineries that are already running. The point is that during these hours and throughout the rest of the work day, the warehouse can turn into one noisy work space.

Warehouses don’t only serve as a stocking place for a company’s goods and items. In many cases, they also serve as offices for the different departments of the company. The problem though is that because of the noise generated by the equipment, machineries and the people operating them, some employees in other departments get distracted, causing them to lose focus. Needless to say, this can have a negative effect on their productivity.

To address this problem, it is recommended that companies consider installing excellent quality warehouse curtains or factory dividers with noise reduction features like our Sound Stop Acoustic Screens. These are made from vinyl, polyester, or PVC materials loaded with minerals that enhances their noise reduction characteristics and are suitable for any situation or environment that have problems with noise issues. Keep in mind that the materials used here are not the ordinary tarps that are used as grain bunker tarps or hay tarps, so don’t confuse buying ordinary tarps from those that have noise reduction capabilities.

Benefits of Curtains and Wall Dividers for Warehouses

Date: Author: Elizabeth Horsfall

If you own a warehouse or have been managing one for quite some time now, you know and understand that such facilities have their own challenges in their day to day operations. Employees who are constantly walking around and coming in and out of certain areas cause dirt and debris to spread through the facility, and equipment and machineries that are in constant operation create noise that borders from bothersome to annoying. These are just some of the challenges that warehouses have to face on a regular work day. In a factory, these issues are usually addressed by using factory dividers—but can the same approach be used for warehouses as well?
Why not? One of the most effective measures of dealing with the above mentioned problems is by having warehouse curtains and wall dividers installed throughout the facility or in strategic areas. This is true for whatever type of warehouse you may have—whether that be in food, automobile, logistics and any other. There are many benefits of having warehouse curtains and wall dividers installed in your facility, and the most common ones —which can also be said about installing factory dividers in factories—are outlined in the following posts.
