How To Increase Energy Efficiency in Extruder Machines? A Case Study of Removable Thermal Insulation Jackets (I-Cover)

Image
  In this case study, we are looking at the real-world application of removableinsulation jacket in a manufacturing industry and how it worked in improving the energy efficiency of extruder machines. Through a detailed examination of a client’s extrusion machine, we highlight the challenges faced by the client and how the implementation of removable thermal insulation jacketswas the best solution.    Background Our client is a leading manufacturer in the plastics industry and operates multiple extruder machines as a part of their manufacturing process. However, they had recently faced the challenges of rising costs and operational inefficiencies in their production which prompted them to look into energy saving solutions. Their main challenge was to minimize heat loss from the extruder machine to the surroundings and to reduce electricity consumption which can optimize energy savings. This case study will focus on the implementation of thermal insulation jacket on ...

4 Benefits of Aerogel Insulation That You Need to Know

Image
  Process stability matters a lot in industries such as the oil and gas industry. One of the many factors that influence process stability is the choice of hot insulation material. They are responsible for achieving process efficiency and energy consumption.  Conventional insulation materials often fall short, particularly in high-temperature environments. Their inherent characteristics not only compromise thermal efficiency but also contribute to energy loss over time due to mechanical wear and tear. In a tropical region like Malaysia where precipitation and rain frequents year-round, insulation systems applied across several industries are prone to a single common enemy — water absorption. Aerogel insulation emerges as a revolutionary solution, boasting unparalleled hydrophobic, breathable, and durable properties. It addresses the challenges of water absorption head-on, offering superior performance in maintaining process stability without succumbing to the limitati...
