Turbo Blankets

Industrial Turbo Blankets for Machinery & Equipment Protection

When managing the performance of high-powered industrial engines, temperature control is essential. Kool Wrap’s industrial turbo blankets are designed to provide superior thermal protection to turbochargers, reducing under-hood temperatures and improving safety and reliability across a wide range of heavy-duty machinery.

From mining vehicles to industrial generators, our turbo blankets are engineered for demanding conditions — delivering heat containment where it matters most.

What Is an Industrial Turbo Blanket?

An industrial turbo blanket is a specially engineered insulation wrap designed to cover a turbocharger’s turbine housing. Made from advanced thermal-resistant materials like silica fiber, basalt, or stainless steel mesh, these blankets reduce radiant heat, protect nearby components, and help maintain turbocharger efficiency.

By installing a turbo insulation blanket for industrial use, you can:

  • Lower engine bay temperatures
  • Protect hoses, wires, and electronics
  • Improve turbo efficiency through heat retention
  • Enhance overall system safety and performance

Turbo Heat Shield for Machinery: Why It Matters

A turbo heat shield for machinery is essential for equipment that operates under constant stress or in high-temperature environments. Exposed turbo housings can radiate extreme heat, leading to:

  • Damaged wires or hoses
  • Overheating of nearby components
  • Reduced performance and fuel efficiency

Kool Wrap’s industrial-grade turbo blankets act as a thermal barrier, keeping that heat where it belongs — inside the turbo for better spool and reduced heat soak in surrounding parts.

Benefits of Using a Turbo Insulation Blanket in Industrial Settings

Unlike automotive-grade wraps, our turbo insulation blankets for industrial applications are built for extended duty cycles, harsh environments, and extreme thermal loads.

Key Benefits Include:

  • Temperature reduction in engine bays up to 80%
  • Protection for sensitive components
  • Higher turbocharger efficiency due to retained heat energy
  • Reduced risk of heat-related component failure
  • Easy-to-install, form-fitting design

Whether you’re outfitting a mining haul truck, drilling rig, or diesel generator, Kool Wrap’s turbo shields give you the peace of mind that your engine bay is protected from dangerous radiant heat.

Industrial Engine Turbo Shield: Heavy-Duty Protection for Harsh Workloads

Our industrial engine turbo shields are crafted with high-performance materials, including a stainless steel mesh outer layer, insulating core, and high-temperature thread stitching. These components ensure maximum durability under high boost, extended engine cycles, and vibration-heavy environments.

Applications Include:

  • Mining and construction vehicles
  • Power generation equipment
  • Heavy-duty diesel and turbocharged petrol engines
  • Agriculture and forestry machinery
  • Marine and offshore engines

Built to withstand the harshest environments, Kool Wrap turbo blankets are trusted by engineers and maintenance teams across Australia.

Engineered to Withstand High Temperatures and Harsh Conditions

Each Kool Wrap industrial turbo blanket is designed for real-world use in environments where high exhaust temperatures and prolonged engine runtime are the norm. Our blankets can withstand:

  • Continuous exposure up to 980°C (1800°F)
  • Peak exposure up to 1260°C (2300°F)
  • Heavy vibrations and contaminants like oil and water

These turbo heat shields are ideal for long-life industrial operations where performance and safety are non-negotiable.

Installation & Fitment of Industrial Turbo Blankets

Installing a turbo insulation blanket for industrial use is simple. Our blankets are designed to fit most standard turbo housings and come with integrated stainless steel fasteners or springs for secure attachment.

Basic Installation Steps:

  1. Allow the turbo to cool before installation.
  2. Position the blanket over the turbo housing.
  3. Secure it using the provided springs or locking wires.
  4. Ensure a snug fit for optimal thermal coverage.

We also offer custom-sized turbo shields upon request, ensuring a perfect fit for your specific equipment or application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  1. What does an industrial turbo blanket do?

It insulates the turbo housing to reduce radiant heat, protect surrounding parts, and improve turbocharger efficiency.

  1. Can a turbo heat shield for machinery increase performance?

Yes. By keeping exhaust gases hot inside the turbo, the blanket improves spool time and overall efficiency.

  1. Are Kool Wrap turbo insulation blankets fireproof?

They are made from fire-resistant materials such as silica or basalt fibers and stainless steel mesh, designed to withstand extreme temperatures without igniting.

  1. What temperature can your turbo blankets withstand?

Our turbo blankets handle continuous temps up to 980°C and peaks up to 1260°C.

  1. Is it safe to install the blanket yourself?

Yes. Installation is simple and can be done with basic tools. However, always install on a cool engine to prevent burns.

  1. Can I reuse a turbo blanket?

Yes. If the blanket remains intact and undamaged, it can be removed and reused during maintenance.

  1. Will this fit any industrial turbocharger?

Most of our blankets fit standard turbo sizes, and we offer custom fitment options for non-standard applications.

  1. How long will the turbo blanket last?

Lifespan depends on the environment, but most customers see multiple years of reliable performance in industrial use.

  1. Do turbo blankets require maintenance?

Generally no, but it’s good practice to inspect them periodically for wear or oil contamination.

  1. Can I use these in marine or offshore equipment?

Absolutely. Our industrial engine turbo shields are built to resist moisture, salt, and vibration — ideal for marine applications.
