Thermal Insulation Jackets

Thermal Jackets ( Blankets / Covers), commonly referred to as exhaust lagging or insulation blankets in many industries. 

Specialized, removable, and reusable protective covers designed to manage extreme temperatures on heavy machinery.

They are crucial for fire mitigation, operator safety, and improving the efficiency of engines and exhaust systems 

 

For Thermal Insulation Jackets, Covers, Blankets on OEM vehicles in Australia. 

Darco Industries offer custom-fabricated exhaust blankets, heat shields, firesleeves and insulating wraps. 

Designed for 4x4s, Plant and performance vehicles to prevent fire, reduce heat, and protect components from extreme temperatures. 

Using durable materials for easy fitment for heat, sound, oil and moisture resistance.

 

Why Use Them

Fire Prevention: Stops oil leaks and fuel vapors from igniting on hot surfaces.

Component Protection: Shields sensitive parts from extreme heat, extending their life.

Worker Safety: Protects mechanics from burns during maintenance.

Performance: Can help maintain optimal turbocharger and intake temperatures. 

 

Key Applications

Engine & Exhaust Protection: Installed on turbochargers, exhaust manifolds, pipes, and mufflers to prevent fires caused by hydraulic, oil, or fuel leaks contacting hot surfaces.

Asset Protection: Reduces radiant heat in the engine bay, protecting wiring looms, sensors, and nearby electronics, which extends the lifespan of components.

Operational Efficiency: Keeps exhaust gas temperatures higher, which can help reduce Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM) and improve turbocharger efficiency.

Personnel Safety: Reduces surface temperatures to prevent accidental burns to maintenance crews.

Environmental/Fixed Infrastructure: Used on steam lines, tanks, and reactors in processing plants for energy efficiency.

 

Key Industries & Applications

Oil & Gas & Petrochemical: Insulating refinery pipes, valves, pumps, and offshore equipment to reduce heat loss and improve safety.

Power Generation: Covering turbines, generators, and exhaust systems in power plants to control heat and improve efficiency.

Manufacturing: Insulating extruders, injection molding machines, furnaces, and ovens to maintain process temperatures and save energy.

Marine & Transport: On ships and heavy vehicles (trucks, buses) for engine/exhaust insulation to protect crews, reduce fire risk, and improve A/C performance.

Mining: Critical for preventing fires on mobile equipment by covering hot exhaust components, and also used in processing plants.

Food & Beverage/Pharmaceutical: Providing removable insulation for clean, consistent temperature control in processing equipment.

Aerospace: Used for high-temperature protection in various components

 

Types of Thermal Covers 

Exhaust Blankets/Wraps: Physical barriers for hot exhaust pipes and turbochargers to prevent contact with flammable materials and reduce engine bay temperatures.

Heat Shields: Aluminium barriers that reflect radiant heat, applied directly to surfaces like firewalls and floor pans.

Fire Sleeves: Highly insulating sleeves for hoses and cables, offering extreme heat and flame resistance.
