Zippers

Zippered bellows make installation and replacement possible when machines cannot be disassembled. When these bellows are specified there is no need to detach the part that is being covered. Adding zippers to bellows increases the collapsed dimension compared to the non-zippered option. Typically, zippers are installed in a spiral to minimize this increase. Some material selections, like Teflon® coated fiberglass and Silicone coated fiberglass, exclude the possibility of zipper installation. Contact Joyce/Dayton with specific application requirements.
