FLIGHT BAR PADS

Available in nominal 12" (12 mm) thick and nominal 1" (25 mm) thick multiple plied woven constructions, our TUFF TEMP high-density flight bar pads have proven to be the industry's longest lasting and most durable Flight Bar Pads.




In starting out with tough mechanically enhanced 100% Kevlar yarns, all TUFF TEMP woven products have inherent cut and abrasion resistance. However, this durability is significantly enhanced in our Flight Bar Pads through use of dense, multiple plied constructions. Our 12" (12 mm) thick pads are comprised of 8 dense plys of woven Kevlar, and our 1" (25 mm) thick pads are comprised of a full 16 woven plys.


TUFF TEMP Pad durability is also significantly enhanced from application of our value-added treatments, called Wear Gard or Wear Gard Plus, for conveyance of your Hottest & Heaviest weight extrusions. Applied though a heated, high tension curing range, our protective Wear Gard treatment imparts added cut and abrasion resistance to the base material. It also makes the pads stiffer, making them ideal for fabricating, while substantially reducing the risk of fraying. TUFF TEMP Flight Bar Pads can be effectively bonded to your equipment with good industrial grade contact cement. This eliminates the risk of potential scratches associated with countersunk screw heads that are typically used for attaching other types of handling system materials.

ENDLESS TRANSFER BELTS

TUFF TEMP Corp. manufactures a unique Endless Transfer Belt that combines both superior heat and abrasion with outstanding mechanical performance


TUFF TEMP can provide unmatched levels of durability and wear life for your handling systems. However, for Endless Transfer Belts, mechanical performance issues, such as minimal belt stretch and proper belt tracking are equally important and TUFF TEMP exerts 25+ years of engineering expertise to ensure a high standard on these measures.


All TUFF TEMP Transfer Belts are joined endless using a unique splice that contains only 100% Kevlar non-marking textile materials and functions as a virtually seamless joint. The strength, integrity and dimensional stability of this join is excellent Belts can be driven on pulleys as small as 3" (75 mm) in diameter and belt stretch has consistently proven to be minimal.




Any potential belt stretch is also further controlled through our use of pre-stretched belts. Prior to installing the endless splice, all transfer belts are either Wear Gard treated or Water Stretched treated in one of our in house curing ranges. Both treatments subject the belting to a high degree of tension during operation, effectively pre-stretching it before it runs on your system. Once pre-stretched, the belting is carefully measured to your defined length specification, and our unique splice is then installed.


All TUFF TEMP Endless Transfer Belts are fabricated and thoroughly inspected to exacting standards for consistency in both width and straightness throughout the length of the belting, including the spliced area. With a high degree of dimensional stability and consistency in both width and lack of curvature, TUFF TEMP ensures good tracking on your conveyors, with minimal belt travel.

WALKING BEAM PADS

Although Transfer Arms and Walking Beams do not typically see temperatures or abrasion as great as that seen on the Run Out Table, the process is still highly dynamic in nature and it requires a material with a high degree of temperature resistance, abrasion resistance and cushioning. TUFF TEMP Transfer Arm Pads and Walking Beam Pads are ideally suited for this purpose.


TUFF TEMP 2-ply, nominal 14" (6 mm) thick and nominal 38" (9 mm) thick 100% Kevlar belting, Wear Gard or Wear Gard Plus treated, provide outstanding durability and wear life for your handling system. Higher thickness, multiple ply pads are available if needed, although they are not often required for this area of you process. All pads can be fabricated to your specific width and length requirements, up to a 24" (610 mm) width maximum, with no defined limitation on length.

TUFF TEMP ROLLER COVERS

TUFF TEMP manufactures two distinct product lines of seamless tubular textile products, which are ideal for use as high temperature roller covers.


Since the mid-1970's TUFF TEMP has manufactured and supplied a unique seamless woven Kevlar Tubing, and we have now recently developed a unique heavyweight knitted tubular product called TUFFNIT.




Both our woven tubing, and our TUFFNIT tubing, are manufactured in a wide variety of Inside Diameter (I.D.) sizes to fit your particular rollers. For any size not readily available from our extensive inventory list, our staff of highly skilled Textile Engineers can custom develop a high performance tubing to fit your particular roller specifications.


As with our lines of high temperature resistant conveyor belting, tapes, and fabricated wear pads, TUFF TEMP seamless tubing exhibits superior temperature resistance, outstanding durability, and is completely non-marking on your product. All TUFF TEMP tubing has been engineered and designed to deliver the absolute longest material wear life, enabling your plant to achieve the longest continuous production runs, with far less costly maintenance down time.




Within the glass industry, TUFF TEMP tubing has long been used as protective roller covers within the hot end of automotive glass bending and tempering ranges. TUFF TEMP tubing is used as a protective roller covering on press bending rollers, blasthead rollers, and cooling rollers.


TUFF TEMP seamless tubing is currently being used by many of the world's largest flat glass manufacturers. In addition, TUFF TEMP tubing is also supplied OEM to many of the leading manufacturers of horizontal bending and tempering range equipment.


Our TUFF TEMP seamless woven tubing and TUFFNIT tubing are the ideal protective covering for your rollers because:

TUFF TEMP tubing has proven temperature resistance up to 1350 F 732 C, making it ideal to handle the higher temperatures experienced in the press bending section of the range
Using large mechanically enhanced Kevlar yarns, TUFF TEMP tubing has superior cut resistance, so it better resists tearing from glass breakage a common failure point amongst competing roller cover materials
TUFF TEMP seamless tubing adheres well to your rollers with virtually no slack or creases, providing superior optics on the hot glass

OVEN ROLLER TAPES

TUFF TEMP Kevlar Oven Roller Tapes and Ropes are used as a spiral wrap on the quench rolls of horizontal tempering ranges. Our TUFF TEMP Roller Tapes and Ropes are used to help convey and protect the hot glass during the rapid cool down process.




During the thermal tempering process glass is heated up in the range at temperatures nearing the melting point. Soon thereafter the glass exits the furnace and is rapidly quenched with cool air to strengthen it. As the glass exits the furnace it is conveyed over a series of cold metal rollers. These quench rollers are spirally wrapped with our TUFF TEMP Kevlar Oven Roller Tapes or Ropes, to prevent the still hot glass from picking up unacceptable thermal checks.


Today, TUFF TEMP Kevlar Oven Roller Tapes and Ropes are supplied to most of the world's largest horizontal tempering range manufacturers. Our customers include the leading horizontal tempering range OEM's in all corners of the world. In addition to supplying the OEM's, TUFF TEMP CORP. also directly supplies numerous secondary glass tempering companies. Our global customers include many of the world's largest flat glass manufacturers as well as many small and mid-size companies as well. Whether a multi-billion dollar multinational company, or a small local startup, all TUFF TEMP customers are treated with the highest level of customer service.


TUFF TEMP woven Kevlar Oven Roller Tapes and Ropes have become the industry standard for flat glass manufacturers and horizontal tempering range OEM's because our Tapes and Ropes have consistently proven to offer unmatched wear life and durability.

Conveyor Belting

TUFF TEMP Corp. has designed and developed a family of unique high temperature resistant belting products that are ideal for use as conveyor belting within the hot end of primary glass plants and aluminum extrusion plants

For conveyance applications in severe manufacturing processes such as hot glass and or hot aluminum, conveyor belting must exhibit superior temperature resistance, superior cut and abrasion resistance, and superior mechanical performance. Conveyor belting must also be totally non-marking and be safe for the finish quality of the customer's product.






We understand that our customers are typically running their manufacturing plants 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Any downtime that the customer experiences in manufacturing is unrecapturable, permanently lost revenue. With that mindset, our focus is to supply the longest lasting, most durable conveyor belts in the world, so that our customers can achieve the longest continuous production runs, with minimal costly maintenance down-time.


TUFF TEMP's line of conveyor belting products has been uniquely engineered to meet all of these criteria, and it is our mission to provide our customers with the absolute longest belting wear life.

HIGH-DENSITY, MULTI-LAYERED CONSTRUCTIONS:


Superior engineered conveyor belting starts with utilizing specialty high temperature resistant yarns. TUFF TEMP utilizes mechanically enhanced 100% Kevlar yarns, and other high temperature resistant specialty fibers such as PBI, PBO and Stainless Steel. Next, we construct our conveyor belting utilizing high-density, multi-layered weaving, to create thick, tough, and ultra-durable woven belts up to 24" wide (610 mm) and 38" thick (9 mm). Next, we apply in-house, one of our value-added finishing treatments to the belting to enhance the end use durability and further strengthen the mechanical performance.


The end result of these manufacturing efforts is that we have pushed TUFF TEMP conveyor belts well beyond the normal temperature ratings of the base fibers.



Belt Lacing is also available


For intermittent contact applications such as conveyance of hot glass and hot aluminum extrusions, TUFF TEMP conveyor belting has proven temperature resistance up to 1, 400 F 760 C.
TUFF TEMP conveyor belting is typically used within the hot end of glass Pressware and Hollowware plants to convey hot ware from the press molds in the Forming section, up to the entrance of the annealing lehr. Ware contact temperatures on our belting can typically exceed 1, 300 F 690 C TUFF TEMP conveyor belting is used in the hot end by many of the leading TV Glass manufacturers, and Tableware and Ovenware manufacturers, where glass contact temperatures are amongst the hottest in the industry
