The introduction of a flame-retardent and dust-resistant screen from Galebreaker has allowed Walkers Snack Foods to begin food production in one part of a new facility while construction work continued in the remainder of the factory.

Walkers opened its new plant in Skelmersdale, Lancashire, in March (See Food Manufacture​, p24 February 2006).

The site, which had been unused for 18 months, required a major refit. Construction is expected to be completed this month. But thanks to installation of the Galebreaker barrier to prevent contamination from the building works, Walkers was able to begin production six months earlier.

The 1,500m2 Galebreaker temporary partition wall created a dust-free, clean and hygienic production zone. A large number of holes had to be cut in the screen to accommodate the pipes and wires, which all then needed to be closed and sealed.

Galebreaker designed bespoke aluminium and stainless steel frames and clamps for suspending and fixing the screens, with all of the fixings for the partition located on the construction side to guard against any loose items entering the food process.

Galebreaker also built into the fabric several large doors for maintenance vehicle access.
