Insulation covers for heated zones in plastics processing machines and for other applications
Reduce your energy consumption and therefore energy costs!
Reduce CO2 emissions!
Application areas:
ISOWEMA® - insulation covers can be individually manufactured for any heating zones irrespective of machine type. The electrical connection area is taken into account, as are the sensor inputs.
Setup:
Mechanically hardened glassfibre is sewn into an abrasionresistant glass fabric.
Both materials have a permanent temperature resistance of max. 500 °C (also available for higher temperature ranges as special version).
The outside of the insulation consists of a highly wear-resistant material whose surface repels dirt and excess injected plastic material.
Thanks to the multi-layer construction in high temperature-resistant insulation textiles, the surface temperature and the energy losses around the heating zones can be considerably reduced.
The insulation thickness is normally 25 mm, variations are also available.
Closure takes place using belts and a buckle.
All materials used for the manufacture of ISOWEMA® - insulation covers are non-flammable.
Benefits:
Reduction of machine heating energy consumption by 20 to 40 %
Extension of heater unit service life through reduction of switching cycles
Increase in working safety due to reduction of surface contact temperatures by 60 - 70 %
Reduces injury hazards caused by burns
Can be retrofitted at any time - rapid installation and dismantling
Long service life of insulation thanks to the use of high temperature-resistant, abrasion-resistant materials
Physiologically harmless insulation materials
ISOWEMA®- insulation units usually have a payback time of less than 1 year
Reduction of heating time
Optimisation of internal climate in production halls
Individual, customer-based production
Uniform temperature profile at machine cylinder
Manufacture of insulation units on the basis of 3-D data (Step/IGES formats) possible
Measurement-taking on site possible
Insulation units can be fitted by our staff if required
In the case of machines whose screw geometry creates a high level of frictional heat, use of an insulation unit can
result in heat accumulation and therefore exceedance of the required operating temperature. In this case, use of insulation is not recommended. Areas which frequently come into contact with liquid plastics should not be insulated.
