Roll-Up & Walk-On Aprons

fit meets function and flexibility
Roll-Up & Walk-On Aprons

Custom Designed for Your Application

Flexible apron covers are a critical component of machine protection. They protect the operators from moving machine components, and they protect the machine from debris and temperature fluctuations in the working environment. In addition to protecting critical machine tool components, aprons and roll-up doors can be implemented into other industries like utility and work truck vehicles, food and beverage production, water and chemical treatment plants, and a variety of other applications that require vertical or overhead covers.

Available as standard mounted, roll-up, or walk-on apron (depending on the material), our engineers will work with you to design and manufacture an apron cover that’s perfect for your application.

Our apron covers are fitted in highly complex modular systems. They are not only functional and space saving but also optically very appealing. Our apron covers are custom designed for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions

If machines are covered with a roller blind or a link apron, this cover serves to protect against dirt, dust, chips, grease, oil, chemicals, coolants, or splash. In addition, a machine cover can be useful as protection against access for the personnel. With the latter, safety is the focus, similar to pit covers.

Optimal protection is guaranteed when the protective cover is perfectly matched to the application and the environment. In addition to temperature resistance, other things to be considered are direct contact heat, corrosion protection, and splash water tightness. In other words, what conditions is the machine exposed to and what should it be protected against? The answers will be your criteria in selecting a cover.
