Initial project requirements:

Apollo Motorhome Industries, a leading Australian manufacturer of recreational vehicles, needed a straightforward yet robust solution to enhance health, safety, and productivity at one of its facilities. The key objective was to manage indoor-outdoor movement at a large entryway, while controlling dust, airflow and maintaining clear visual access.

The specifications were clear:

Opening size: 4300mm high by 6500mm wide
Visibility: Maintain natural light and clear sightlines for safety
Durability: Withstand regular movement of large equipment and vehicles
Installation access: Use a scissor lift for safe installation, avoiding platform ladders

Apollo needed a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution that could be installed efficiently, with minimal disruption to operations.

Flexshield solution:

The Flexshield team recommended a SonicClear strip curtain in a pre-fabricated kit form, custom-sized to 4,300 mm high and 6,500 mm wide. This modular solution provided ease of installation and long-term value.

Key features of the Flexshield SonicClear solution included:

300mm wide UV-stabilised strips, hanging with consistent overlaps for maximum coverage
A full-width wheel track system with a sliding section to enable smooth, guided operation
Pull cord and lock blocks for simple, secure operator movement
UV stabilisation for longevity in harsh conditions, reducing yellowing or brittleness over time
A scissor lift installation method ensuring safe access to the height of the curtain without the need for unstable platforms

The SonicClear system was designed to provide an excellent return on investment thanks to minimal maintenance requirements, improved workflow, and enhanced safety compliance.

Results achieved:

Once installed at Apollo Motorhome Industries, the SonicClear strip curtain delivered immediate, measurable benefits:

Improved health and safety: Clear visual access and controlled air movement reduced the risk of collisions and exposure to airborne contaminants
Increased productivity: Smooth operation and durability ensured uninterrupted workflow for vehicles and equipment
Better compliance and value: UV-stabilised materials and robust construction aligned with Apollo’s long-term operational standards

By working closely with Apollo’s project team, Flexshield provided a dependable, high-quality solution that reflects the brand’s steady, trusted approach to industrial noise and environmental control.
