Tong Manipulator Boot TKB33A
Tong Manipulator Boot TKB33A
A boot with excellent flexibility and durability
Tong manipulators are used in facilities such as nuclear power research institutes and nuclear fuel offices as shown below.
They are installed for the purpose of handling dangerous substances, such as radioactive materials, in hot cell facilities that handle radioactive materials.
The inside of the hot cell is a space that handles radioactive material, and the operator uses the tong manipulator from the outside of a shielding wall.
The tong manipulator is mounted to a swivel joint to enable a conical range of operation to the front and to the rear.
A gap is necessary in the swivel joint section, and to maintain the airtightness of this gap, it is a structure in which a boot is used for sealing this space. Due to our proprietary design and manufacturing methods, our bellows-style conical boots are flexible and durable while maintaining compatibility with conventional boots.
