5 considerations for factory partition methods: safety first, clean and comfortable


  1. Legal and safe

The construction of a factory must comply with local national and city regulations and standards, use stable and durable structural building materials, reserve emergency escape routes, emergency generators or lighting, factory compartment distances that comply with regulations, etc., and consider the safety of workers.

  1. Fire noise

The partitions of factory partitions need to be made of fireproof materials, and fireproof divisions should be designed, such as fireproof floors, firewalls, fireproof doors and windows, etc. The purpose is to prevent the expansion of flames, heat, smoke and toxic substances, control the fire within a limited range, and strive to Escape time and reduce the loss of property and life. It is recommended to install sound insulation materials in factory partitions to reduce the amount of noise.

  1. Functional maintenance

Design the factory according to the industrial nature of the enterprise. For example, a food factory will use fresh food or food raw materials, etc. The factory partition materials must comply with food hygiene standards, paying attention to bacterial infection, odor, ventilation design, and convenient cleaning. In addition, maintenance channels and inspection and maintenance tools need to be reserved, and the inspection system table must be planned.

  1. ventilation lighting

Factories need to plan a good ventilation system to ensure that personnel have comfortable air quality. In particular, factories that produce chemicals, harmful gases or dust need to pay more attention, and install sufficient lighting to allow employees to work effectively.

  1. Environmental protection and health

With the rise of environmental awareness, the materials or equipment construction of factory partitions can be replaced by energy-saving, green, renewable energy, etc., and the factory environment should be regularly cleaned to ensure the health and quality of people and things.

Design thinking of 3 warehouse or factory office partitions, security, privacy, flexibility and flexibility

 

  1. Confirm office needs

Good office partitions allow employees to concentrate on their work, such as designing semi-open conference rooms, closed department offices, and personal office areas, so that they can collaborate and discuss with each other while focusing on work independently. For factory office partitions, it is necessary to ensure safe distances and systems in the working environment, as well as noise reduction designs to improve work quality. For warehouse office partitions, pay attention to the width of the door. If simple packaging operations are required, retaining a wide entry and exit line can improve Work efficiency.

  1. Good ventilation, lighting and sound insulation

The working environment must pay attention to ventilation, lighting and sound insulation design. Because employees will stay in the office for a long time and welcome guests and manufacturers for meetings, a good and comfortable office environment will help create a corporate image.

  1. Flexible space with privacy

When designing a factory office, it is necessary to consider future changes in the number of employees and department expansion, and flexibly expand factory partitions to improve space flexibility and privacy.

Introduction to warehouse partition materials

 

Warehouse panels are a very popular partition building material in recent years. The main structure and outer panels are made of steel. The inner lining is made of non-metallic materials according to individual needs, such as rock wool, PU foam, paper honeycomb, aluminum honeycomb, etc. It is easy to clean and beautiful. . Warehouse panels are flame-resistant and fireproof, and have good durability. The service life can be more than 10 years, and the compartment design can be easily changed. It is suitable for factory partition planning. The following introduces the inner materials of warehouse panel compartments and comparisons with other partition materials. :
