Exhaust blanket packages and kits
Complete packages or group-based kits
Aletek blankets are available as a full-engine package or in groups. Complete kits are ideal for engine rebuild projects or safeguarding newly acquired assets. Our insulation cover groups enable deployment in stages, such as turbo and manifold implementation. Ordering in groups is ideal for replacing damaged blanket sections.
As listed below, we offer several blanket cover groups depending on engine configuration.
Heat-critical component blanket kits
- Manifold shielding
- Turbo lagging
- Turbo wastegate covers (dozers)
- Junction insulation
Proximity and radiant heat blanket kits
- Engine pipes and exhaust lagging
- Bellow covers
- Mufflers and tailpipe blankets
- Firewall shielding (excavators)
Monitoring and maintaining exhaust blankets
A thermal blanket, like car tyres, needs periodic inspection, adjustment, and replacement when excessively worn. We have created a scheduled maintenance checklist to help prevent engine fires and maximise blanket life. For an effective protective barrier, review blanket coverage and integrity on an ongoing basis.
Australian-made for your mining fleet
Do you need to consider a low-cost blanket protective measure to protect your multi-million dollar fleet? Our blankets are premium Australian-made products supported by our expertise in design and production. Depending on your fleet, we can stock essential blanket kits to reduce downtime.
The Aletek Advantage
Our Commitment
Our blanket dedication to excellence
Aletek is unwavering in its pursuit of excellence. Our blanket production processes are meticulously planned, from sourcing premium materials to expert sewing and assembly.
Product designs underpinned by R&D
Our latest thermal blankets incorporate lessons learned from testing. For instance, using a thinner coating can reduce burn potential. Thermal imaging has helped identify heat issues and improve designs between section overlaps.
CNC pattern production for consistency
Our blanket pattern cutting is automated with a CNC flatbed cutter. We believe it is the only one in the Southern Hemisphere. Our team of experienced sewers and finishers completes the production of thermal blankets.
A final wrap-up on blankets
From 3D scanning to CAD, our product design phase is well-defined. Controlled templates, lean workflows and quality checks inform our manufacturing process. An expert oversees design and templates to ensure continued excellence in our Thermal Division.
