Before choosing between a muffler packing pillow and loose fill muffler packing, decide which operations your assembly line should perform and which should be completed by the packing supplier. A packing pillow contains a specified quantity of fiber in a formed or enclosed component. Loose fill is supplied ...
Expanding exhaust packing is installed in a compact form and designed to release its compressed fiber structure when heated. In a heat-released fiberglass sheet, temporary stitching holds texturized glass yarn together during handling and assembly. When the stitching loses its restraining function, the fiber structure can open into the space allocated to it inside the silencer. The important disti...
Slide-On vs Wrap-Around Heat Protection Sleeves for Automotive Wire Harnesses The thermal material is only one part of an automotive wire harness heat protection system. The sleeve must also be practical to install around the actual harness.
