The T-Star Energy Saver Blanket has been designed with the actual user’s needs in mind. It has been engineered to accommodate its installation and removal by any operational personnel.

• Designed for ease of handling.
• Blanket sections are stored on our heavy-duty, portable, stainless steel storage reels.
• Easy deployment of blanket sections.
• Blankets are easily attached to the reel.

The process of fabric-to-foam flame lamination is an expensive operation that is an art form, pioneered by MacBall Industries over 30 years ago. Our dedication to the commercial aquatic industry and the in-house manufacturing process allows us to achieve a standard of quality unmatched by any other manufacturer. In-house manufacturing capabilities also provide for our ability to react to increased demand with readily available inventory.

The manufacturing process consists of a two-step flame lamination process. The buoyant laminate materials used in the fabrication of the Heat Saver blankets are:

• Machine-woven, high-density polyethylene fabric.
• Tear-resistant, non-toxic, non-absorbent
• Treating with a UV inhibitor adds years to blanket life.
• Chemical resistant to all materials found in the aquatic environment.

The assembly technique and the various components that make up the Energy Saver Blanket System are unique to our process. Our trained craftsmen incorporate doubled polyethylene-woven fabric as an interlocking end and edge treatment which retards blanket wear. They also provide load-dispersion plates at all corner sections of the blanket, non-corroding handling grommets, and naturally, the required safety signage.

All sewing is done on machines specifically designed for the purpose of joining flame-laminate materials. The synchronized stitching drive systems ensure uniformity of stitch length and predictable seam strength. The stitch employed is a double-locking chain stitch, which utilizes an ultra-violet stabilized, chemically resistant, 100% polyester thread. This allows for extreme flexibility between laminate layers (seams). This flexibility makes the blanket easier to handle and more resistant to tearing when the seams are stretched. The chain stitch allows for repair of individual sections of the blanket.

Quality constructed end frames are welded structures and are 1.5″ x 1.5″ type 304 stainless steel box beam – much stronger than the conventional round tubing found in less expensive storage reels.

• Side rails are bolted in place and are 1″ x 2″ type 304 stainless steel box beam – much stronger than the conventional round tubing found in less expensive storage reels.
• Each storage reel tube is fitted with our exclusive self-aligning and self-lubricating composite bearing assemblies.
• Modular design allows for low transportation cost, field assembly, serviceability and component replacement.
• Heavy-duty, non-corroding, stainless steel casters that employ easy-to-maneuver 6″ diameter polyurethane wheels.
• Self-leveling, screw-type floor lock brakes with replaceable polyethylene brake pads.
• Reels provided in single, double or triple storage reel tube configurations.
• Reel assemblies are available in two configurations: on-deck portable and space saver wall-mount.
• Lifetime structural warranty.
