The naval origins of reusable insulation systems
Before the advent of reusable insulation systems, when workers removed conventional insulation they discarded it, regardless of material. Consequently, components requiring regular inspection, service or repair for maintenance, would often remain uncovered. This was a...
Key Elements to Get the Most From Your Blanket Insulation Systems
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...
Here’s how the insulation industry has changed
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,...
Insulation is critical, yet facility owners often ignore that
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...
Energy surveys and thermographic imaging pinpoint opportunities, inform design
The one-two punch of energy surveys and thermographic imaging mark the starting point for determining what kind of insulation design best suits a client. Through the energy surveys, a sales person determines not only the geometry of the system but also the...
Removable, reusable insulation blankets and shields designed with versatility in mind
Facility, plant and energy managers can apply removable, reusable insulation blankets in such a wide variety of different situations – even within a single facility. “It could be a below-ambient temperature condition, like a chilled water application, where the...
Without standards and specs, buying insulation is risky business
Without standards and specs, buying insulation is risky business Aug 13, 2020My name is Frank Kovaks and I am the President and CEO of Shannon Global Energy Solutions. This particular video is going to emphasize the need for standards and specifications driven within...
Here’s why ERP and industrial insulation blankets go hand in glove
Shannon prides itself on the quality of its reusable industrial insulation blankets; that quality is achieved through a CAD-CNC-ERP system. We’ve discussed CAD and CNC in earlier posts, but what does ERP mean and how does is translate to a high-grade product? ERP...
Here’s why CAD is the universal language of insulation blankets
Shannon is known for its commitment to quality, truly reusable insulation blankets created with the goal of thermal efficiency, increased workplace safety, and acoustic management. Quality is achieved, in part, through Shannon’s CAD-CNC-ERP design system, but what...
