Bekaert sleeves combine heat-resistance and mechanical robustness. They are typically used in the automotive glass production as a covering for transport rollers in high temperature areas in and out of furnace. All fabrics are delivered on rolls of 10 m or 25 m and rolled up on a cardboard core, packed individually in plastic foil and packed in a cardboard box.
The available products are:
BEKAERT Sleeve KNT1
is a tubular rib structure knit. It combines heat resistance (up to 700° C), durability (due to its’ structure) and all the properties of knitted fabrics.
BEKAERT Sleeve KNT2
is often used on the last rollers in the furnace in order to avoid marking of the hot glass by dust floating around. The BEKAERT Sleeve KNT2 has a more tight structure than the BEKAERT Sleeve KNT1 (is less flexible).
BEKAERT Parasleeve KNT3
combines the temperature resistance of stainless steel and the softness of para-aramid. It is mainly used in the low temperature range (up to 350° C).
BEKAERT Goldsleeve KNT5
is a tubular rib structure knit. Is appropriate for high wear applications in the low to average temperature range (up to maximum 425°C).
BEKAERT Goldsleeve KNT6
is less flexible than BEKAERT Goldsleeve KNT5. Is appropriate for high wear applications in the low to average temperature range (up to maximum 425°C).
BEKAERT Goldsleeve KNT7
is a thicker fabric than BEKAERT Goldsleeve KNT6 and is appropriate for high wear applications in the low to average temperature range (up to maximum 425° C).
BEKAERT Parasleeve KNT8
is less flexible than BEKAERT Parasleeve KNT3, combines the temperature resistance of stainless steel and the softness of paraaramid. It is mainly used in the low temperature range (up to 350° C).
BEKAERT Novasleeve BRT2, BEKAERT Novasleeve BRT3 and BEKAERT Novasleeve BRT4
combines the strength of stainless steel (e.g. highly conductive) and the softness of PBO (e.g. insulating). It is resistant to higher temperatures (up to 500° C) and feels much softer than stainless steel. Its braided structure allows self-tightening on the rollers by stretching the sleeve.
