Guideway Protection

Lamella Folded Bellows

Lamella folded bellows, also known as Gordillo covers, feature stainless steel shields mounted on top of each fold to protect the underlying bellows fabric from hot chips and sparks, which can quickly damage a conventional bellows. The base construction is typically a heat-sealed or sewn folded bellows, depending on the application.

Gordillo covers are a proven alternative when there is insufficient space for a telescopic guideway cover.
