Food Processing Insulation Solutions
Food processing plants require durable insulation that stands up to aggressive wash down procedures and wet operating conditions. Traditional materials fail due to wet conditions and high humidity, leading to corrosion under insulation that isn't detected until steam leaks are obvious. Thin ceramic-based insulation coating eliminates corrosion under insulation, allows visual inspection of surfaces and provides energy savings ranging from 30% to 60%.
Personnel Protection
Thin ceramic coating reduces surface temperatures for compliance with the ASTM C1057 Personnel Protection Standard. For the typical operating temperatures ranging from 200F to 350F, a coating thickness ranging from 0.040" (1 mm) to 0.120" (3 mm) will provide safe surface temperature results. Radiant heat reduction also greatly improves working conditions along with worker safety.
Energy Conservation
Insulation coating provides long term energy conservation while protecting valuable equipment from corrosion. Thermal efficiency ranges from 20% to 50%, depending on temperature range and operating conditions. Return on Investment (ROI) depends on energy cost, application requirements and days of operation.
