Selecting the ideal heat shrink tubing<\/h2>\n The selection of the most suitable shrink tubing for industrial applications, especially in areas where sticky and adhesive materials are processed, is\u00a0of crucial importance\u00a0for the efficiency and performance of production systems.\u00a0Here, the key parameters are the roller type,\u00a0roller length, roller\u00a0diameter, surface finish, operating temperature, chemical load, linear pressure, and circulation speed.\u00a0Due to the manufacturing process and the expected longitudinal shrinkage,\u00a0the length of\u00a0the roll covering should be at least 10 % longer than the shell length of the roll in question. Shrink tubes for roller coverings are available in unetched and etched versions. The latter enables additive bonding.<\/p>\n

FITCOTUBE\u00ae roll coverings made of fluoropolymers are\u00a0outstandingly<\/span>\u00a0suitable for so-called banana rollers where punctual loads occur.\u00a0<\/span>Especially,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>PFA<\/span>\u00a0shrink tubing provides a much higher flexural fatigue strength and significantly better temperature resistance\u00a0<\/span>compared to<\/span>\u00a0FEP. Roller covers made of FITCOTUBE\u00ae-PFA are therefore particularly recommended for higher operating temperatures. For applications requiring electrical conductivity, we recommend our antistatic roller coverings. <\/span><\/p>\nCoverings made of FITCOTUBE\u00ae-FEP or -PFA shrink tubing represent an outstanding solution for\u00a0<\/span>a wide range of<\/span>\u00a0requirements. With a wall thickness of 0.50 mm, they are produced\u00a0<\/span>completely<\/span>\u00a0seamlessly up to a diameter of 16 \u00bd inches, while larger diameters\u00a0<\/span>are\u00a0<\/span>produced<\/span>\u00a0with a welded seam. The indicated wall thicknesses are nominal and can vary depending on the\u00a0<\/span>intensity of the shrinkage<\/span>. Thanks to innovative manufacturing processes, we can also provide intermediate sizes. Roller coverings made from FITCOTUBE\u00ae FEP or PFA shrink sleeves are available seamless in\u00a0<\/span>a special<\/span>\u00a0thickness of 1.50 mm up to a\u00a0<\/span>size<\/span>\u00a0of 17 inches, for example. The optimum combination of operating temperature, circulation speed, and linear pressure should always\u00a0<\/span>be carefully considered<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FITCOTUBE\u00ae roller coverings are an\u00a0important\u00a0component in industrial applications, especially\u00a0in areas\u00a0where rollers play a central role.
