Industrial plants typically have very complex structures and equipment, which the law requires to be regularly checked. Maintenance managers are well aware of the importance of keeping all equipment in good working order, and of the need to resolve problems related to safety or reduced efficiency.
Removable insulation is an important ally in this respect, offering clear advantages in the areas of safety, resource management and efficiency.
Plant maintenance constitutes a significant expense on the company balance sheet, and needs to be managed carefully to keep costs under control.
Why removable insulation?
Removable insulation is supplied as flexible cushions or mats that are very easy to fit and remove, unlike traditional systems. This is why it is commonly employed in plants that need frequent maintenance.
Removable insulation has many advantages, including:
1. Greater safety for personnel.
Because thermal insulation is made from non-combustible materials, maintenance workers are protected against burns from accidental contact with valves, pipes or non-insulated flanges. In addition to protecting employee health and safety, removable insulation helps to create fresher and healthier working environments by lowering ambient temperatures.
2. Improved efficiency and performance.
One of the most obvious benefits of thermal insulation is its resistance to heat and cold, and its ability to minimise heat transfer. Lower heat loss means lower energy consumption and maintenance costs. Removable insulation helps to ensure long-term plant efficiency, with a 6 to 18 month return on investment. It also helps to protect the environment by reducing CO2 emissions.
3. Quicker and simpler maintenance and monitoring.
Removable cushions tend to be preferred over traditional insulation because they are particularly easy to fit and dismantle. Traditional insulation uses aluminium casing, mechanically fixed to equipment and requiring considerable time for removal, whereas removable insulation is light, easy to install, and reusable, and extends the service life of instruments and machinery.
4. Waterproofing and sound insulation.
Removable insulation is made of high tech materials that are resistant to adverse environmental conditions. The mats, which can be fitted on any type of surface, are ideal for outdoor use, and help to protect equipment on which they are fitted against premature wear.
The innovative technical characteristics of the materials used to make them mean that they can also be used for acoustic insulation.
5. Compliance with legal requirements.
Interest in thermal and acoustic insulation extends well beyond the industrial sector, largely and increasingly driven by the ever-growing attention that governments give to environmental issues. This type of insulation will allow your company to achieve legal standards of plant safety while contributing to environmental sustainability.
A thermographic test and a simple check-up will enable you to evaluate the critical points of your plant and determine appropriate solutions.
