As extremely experienced plastic fabricators, we can meet all of your plastic display fabrication requirements.

Covid screens and Melaphone - 100% Block against airborne transmission

Melaphone is specifically designed to allow sterile communication with a high degree of vision and safety. There is no thru-air flow, therefore, no transmission of germs, draughts or dust. Speech is transmitted through a transparent diaphragm which also gives protection against noxious sprays.

Melaphones are used in many diverse security and dust sensitive situations throughout the World, from simple kiosks in amusement parks to highly protected areas in pharmaceutical laboratories and clean room areas where secure germ free and dust free conditions are of the essence. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Melaphones have been  recognised as a simple solution to the problem of keeping front line staff safe when dealing with the public close up. Melaphones can be retro-fitted to many existing screens such as bus assault screens and can be used in airport check-in areas. We are able to assist customers with advice as to how melaphones may be adapted to suit their individual requirements.
