Protect your valuable machinery from fire.
Hot engine exhausts have a surface temperature considerably
higher that the ignition point of dry leaves, twigs, seeds,
fine hairs and other plant matter.
Firwin removable insulation blankets reduce the contact temperature
on engine exhaust manifolds, elbows, pipes and muffler to a
safe surface contact temperature – giving you protection
against spontaneous fires.
Due to the invasive characteristics of dry vegetable matter
packing around mufflers and engine parts, it is necessary to
leave no section of the exhaust uncovered. For maximum protection,
insulation blankets are designed with protective flaps to completely
cover joins where blankets butt up to one another. In some cases
the blankets will be designed for brackets/clamps to be fitted
over the blankets. If needed, fiberglass tape can be used to
fill in any remaining gaps. Firwin supplies this specialty tape.
Typical surface temperatures:
• Diesel exhaust is 700ºF-900ºF [370ºC-480ºC]
• Insulation blanket is 175ºF-220ºF [80-100ºC].
(Vegetable Matter ignites at about 300ºF [150ºC])
Blankets are custom built for each piece of machinery.
Insulation blankets are made to order and not kept in stock.
Removable insulation blankets are easily removed and replaced
where engine maintenance requires access to specific exhaust
parts. Blankets have been supplied for John Deere, Case IH,
and New Holland Combines & Hay Balers. We can make up blankets
for other makes and models. |
