An insulating roller cover includes a highly desirable combination of features. The cover is free from asbestos and is therefore of more desirable construction for handling and use. For the roller cover, at least substantially ceramic fiber is highly compressed, providing a dense and refractory, elevated temperature resistant insulating cover. The cover may itself serve as a load bearing surface; or may provide a foundation or protective media for annular discs or 10 sleeve members made of various, load bearing materials. These load bearing materials may be unable to resist direct contact with the shaft due to thermal shock or the differences in their respective expansion and contraction rates. Where impregnant is utilized with the highly compressed fiber, such will often comprise a colloidal substituent.
A roller cover which comprises at least one dense and refractory, elevated temperature resistant annular insulating cover member of a highly compressed at least substantially ceramic fiber, said fibers being compressed from their original volume in an amount within the range of from about 50 percent to about 80 percent to a fiber density, basis dry fiber, within the range of from about 16 to about 50 pounds per cubic foot.
A roller cover which comprises at least one dense and refractory, elevated temperature resistant annular insulating cover member of a highly compressed at least substantially ceramic fiber, said fibers being compressed from their original volume in an amount above about 50 percent to a fiber density, basis dry fiber, above about 16 pounds per cubic foot.
