Specifically designed to protect water-cooled power cables on electric arc furnaces.
Insulflex® EAF Cable Covers can withstand the heat, abrasion, impacts, flame, and molten metal splash normally encountered in AC and DC EAF operations. Even splashes encountered during wet charges are repelled, allowing for continued operation of the EAF without unexpected cable failures.
Using our 96oz Pyroblanket™ as a base fabric, a custom-fitted sleeve is fabricated with a high-temperature-resistant hook-and-loop closure system to enable installation without disconnecting the water-cooled cables.
Insulflex® EAF Cable Covers are custom fabricated in the diameter and length that fit your specific cable protection needs. It can also be supplied with sectional inserts to offer extra heat and/or molten splash protection in critical areas.
The ultra-thick coating of specially compounded silicone rubber sheds molten splash almost instantaneously, before any heat transfer can occur. When exposed to high temperatures or molten splash for extended periods, the silicone rubber transforms into a silica refractory crust.
