VOLTA Sleeve Mounting System
1.SleeveMountingAdapter-designedforusewithaspecicO.D.sleeve.
2. Sleeve Mounting Jig
3. Roller support
4. Push bar
5. Hose clamp
Safety Instructions:
1.TheVOLTASleeveMountingSystemoperates
 usingcompressedair.Oneshouldnotstand
 intheareadirectlyinfrontoforbehindthejig.
 Iftherollerisaccidentallyforcedoutofthe
front of the sleeve or the handle is forced
 backwards,thiscouldresultininjury.
2. Ensure that the sleeve has been mounted
above the rim of the Adapter and that the hose
 clampistightlysecuredaroundthesleeve.
3.Thesystemrequiresatleast1barofpressure
to operate. Pressure must not exceed 3.5 bar.
4.Theairpressuremustbeadjustedrelativeto
sleeve diameter (higher for larger diameters).
 Carefullyincreasetheairpressure,adding
 justsucientpressuretopermitthemounting
of the sleeve without undue force.
5. Ensure that the regulator controlling pressure
is in good condition and is calibrated.
6. Formaximumsafetyonlyusehandles
 manufacturedbyVOLTABeltingTechnology
 Ltdthathavepressurereleaseholesas
shown above.
TheVOLTASleeveMountingSystemcanbeusedtomountVOLTASleevesonrollersofmostlengthsfoundinindustry.

Mounting the sleeve
Therststepistocutthesleevefortheroller.
Cutthesleeveapproximately10cmlongerthantheroller.
Place the hose clamp on the sleeve and mount the
sleeve over the lip of the mounting Adapter(1a) using a
atheadscrewdriver.
RECOMMENDATION:Byplacingtheendofthesleeve
in a cup of hot water for a few seconds the sleeve will
soften enough to make this step easier.
Ensurethatthesleeveismountedushwiththebodyof
the mounting adapter. Place the hose clamp (6) next to
the mounting Adapter and tighten.
Note: There is a ridge on the mounting Adapter lip.
You must tighten the hose clamp enough to grip this lip.
Ifnot,theairpressurecancausethesleevetoslideoof
the adapter.
Adjusttheairpressureregulatorto1Bar.Makesure
thatyouclosethepressurevalve(5)beforeinsertingthe
roller in the adapter.

WARNING:Donotattempttomounttheroller
in a sleeve that is bent. The sleeve MUST be
cut to the correct length before attaching to
theMountingAdapter.Thesystemusesair
pressure and can force the push bar back out
towardsthetechnicianpossiblycausinginjury.

Insert the roller in the mounting adapter. You will feel
slightresistancetotherollerasitisplacedinthejig.
This is because of the rubber seal.
Push the roller until it is in contact with the inside of the
sleeve. You will feel extreme resistance at this point and
the roller cannot be pushed further into the adapter.
Note: Itisnotnecessarytouselubricantswhenusing
theVOLTAadapter.Atmostalightsprayofwaterwill
make the mounting of long rollers easier.
Adjustthepressureregulatorto1Bar.Opentheair
pressure valve (5). Place the push bar (3) on the end of
the roller.
Note:Theamountofairpressurenecessarytoeasily
mount a sleeve is a function of ambient air pressure,
smoothness of roller surface and the strength of the
technician.Itrequiresaminimumof1Barofairpressure
tomountthesleeve.Neverexceed3.5Barofair
pressure.
Press the push bar forward. The end of the roller inside
the sleeve will develop an air cushion between the roller
end and the inside of the sleeve.
Ifthesleevedoesnotslideinsmoothly,increasetheair
pressureslightly.
Continuepushinguntilthepushbar(3)isushwiththe
mounting adapter.
Note: The push bar has a ridge with holes next to the
handle. The holes in this ridge are designed to release
airpressureandavoidthepossibilityofthepushbar
beingforcedoutofthejigandpossiblycausinginjury
or damage.
Beforereleasingthepushbar,turnotheairpressure
Pull the push bar out of the mounting adapter.

WARNING: If the sleeve develops a bubble at
the point of attachment to the Adapter and the
rollerisdiculttopush,stopallactionsand
check for problems.

Loosenthehoseclampandpullthecoveredsleeveo
of the mounting adapter.
Trim the excess sleeve material.
TheVOLTASleeveMountingSystemcanbeusedto
mountVOLTASleevesonrollersofalmostanylength.

Volta sleeves are made from tubular extrusions with
standard thicknesses of 2-3mm (the table below shows
thesizeswhicharedenedbyinnerandouterdiameters
I.D.andO.D.)andarecuttolengthforcoatingrollersin
situationswhereaproductrequirescushioningwhilemoving
acrossarollerbedorconveyor.Applicationsincludepotato
intakes and ceramic tile lines.
Thesleevesareextrudedfromafoodapproved(FDA/EU),
smooth durable 85A Shore white TPU material to avoid
marking products. Some sizes are available with a ribbed
outersurface.Oncecuttolengththeycanbemounted
ontotherollerbysurface.Canbemountedontotheroller
bymeansoftheVoltaSleeveMountingToolwhichuses
compressedairtoinatethetubedimensionenoughto
permittheinsertionoftheroller.Oncetheairsupplyiscuto
thetubeassumesitsoriginaldiameterandtstightlyoverthe
roller–noadhesiveisrequired.
Nomenclature:
Thesleevedesignationcontainstwonumbers.Therst
number is the diameter of the metal roller to be covered. The
secondnumberisthedesiredoutsidediameter(O.D.)after
thesleeveismountedontheroller.Forexample,a50x55
sleeve is designed to cover a roller with an outside diameter
of50mmandtheoutsidediameterofthecoveredroller
willbe55mm.Thisidenticationsystemisusedforboth
standard and ribbed sleeves.
Packaging:
Sleevesupto50x55mmarein30m/100inchrolls.
Sleevesfrom60x65mmaresuppliedas3m/10inchtubes.
