With the variety of different blanket insulation systems available, getting the highest quality solution can be a challenge. For many, buying a cheaper system often looks appealing, but for several reasons, investing in a higher quality reusable blanket insulation...
For maintenance workers to install an insulation blanket that’s truly reusable, they need to look for certain attributes that allow them to remove the blanket from a valve or steam trap and easily replace it in the same position after performing repairs or service on...
The insulation industry makes use of several different materials to help protect workers from high temperatures, contain radiant energy, and maximize system efficiency. However, many of these materials, like fiberglass, Foamglas®, calcium silicate, and mineral wool,...
Overlooking opportunities to insulate energy-losing components is more about ignorance than neglect. But even one component radiating high temperatures can add up to a significant amount of lost energy when multiplied by time, which means squandered capital. How much?...
Although insulation is critical for keeping workers safe and maintaining maximum energy and production efficiency, plant managers sometimes adopt a “set it and forget it” mentality. Instead of a reusable insulation system, many facilities install traditional...
Customers regularly call on Shannon to insulate large or hard-to-access components with removable and reusable thermal and acoustic insulation. With its CAD-CNC-ERP design and manufacturing process, Shannon’s customers have given the award-winning manufacturer kudos...
Energy surveys are a path toward addressing uninsulated components that can radiate heat energy, waste resources and reduce overall efficiency of a system. Insulating these exposed pieces helps preserve that energy, maximizing retention of heat to achieve peak...
To run at maximum efficiency and avoid loss of heat energy, steam systems require properly tested and designed insulation like the kind in place at Baxter Medical Center and Miramichi Regional Hospital. But when facility and maintenance managers need to inspect or...
Made to protect equipment like actuators and valves from dangerously high temperatures, Shannon’s UL 1709-tested Rapid Rise Fire Blankets block and retard flames. Along with testing its products, Shannon designs every blanket according to a set of standards. For its...
Quality, reusable hydrophobic insulation blankets are beneficial for many industries, whether for keeping workers safe or helping to protect equipment. When constructed correctly and with the safest materials, the benefits of using hydrophobic insulation blankets...
