THERMAL BLANKETS & INSULATION

Shannon has developed a sanitary, wash down reusable removable blanket system, ideal for food grade process environments. Considering the harsh working environments for wash down, this blanket system is FDA approved, non-porous, highly chemical resistant, self-contained, user friendly and adaptable to complex surfaces that otherwise will never see insulation treatment. Our goal is to capture as much radiant heat loss as is cost effectively possible and to allow the field operator easy access for service, inspection and/or repair. Applications include: insulation blankets for steam valves and steam fittings, steam traps, condensate systems, condensate pumps, heat exchangers, pasteurizers, kettles, kettle domes, fryer surfaces, oven surfaces, hot oil fittings and piping as well as any complex surface condition that otherwise cannot be treated with non-FDA approved conventional insulation.

  Removable reusable Insulation Blankets for valves and fittings

Shannon has developed a chilled water thermal blanket insulation design, ideal for chilled water, problematic equipment. Although chilled water systems require a sealed system for ideal thermal performance, there are chilled water applications which can be considered, due to access requirements for service, inspection and or repair. Although not an ideal insulation, the thermal blanket benefit of accessibility may outweigh the thermal performance requirement. The key feature is easy access, giving the field mechanic an operator friendly blanket system that is user friendly. Applications include: chilled water pumps, chiller heads, chiller piping, chiller valves & fittings, water boxes, heat exchangers, heat exchanger heads.

Shannon thermal blanket insulation offerings for the plastics industry are comprehensive, with proven results in performance efficiency and thermal energy savings. Shannon thermal blanket insulation is easy to install, user friendly and custom designed to match each and every extruder. The blanket system is self contained with an integral fastener for easy on, easy off, an I.D. Tag to define location and tag sequence, a hot surface label to warn the operator and a construction quality to ensure a long lasting service and performance. Applications include: extruder barrels, extruder heads, injection molding & blow molding.

Shannon thermal blanket insulation and heat shield insulation for the process industry is comprehensive both for condition and for temperature. Shannon thermal blanket insulation and heat shield designs are non-wicking, non-porous, to accommodate oils, effluent and complex chemical process conditions. To add complexity to the application, Shannon thermal blankets and shields are designed to withstand outdoor environments as well as the frequent wear and tear from scheduled shut down/turn arounds. Applications include: insulation blankets for valves, flanges, fittings, pumps, heat exchangers, heat exchanger heads, process equipment, manifolds, kettles, vessels, tanks, machinery and complex geometric surfaces.

Shannon thermal blanket insulation for the power generation and gas transmission industry covers a wide array of complex applications with extreme temperature and extreme work conditions. These removable reusable insulation blanket systems must accommodate both temperature and vibration as well as potentially being exposed to the outdoor weather condition. Applications include high service, frequently accessed machinery for inspection and for repair. Field mechanics demand an operator friendly blanket system that is user friendly while still meeting the expectation of a 15 year service life. Applications include: Insulation blankets for steam turbines, gas turbines, engine exhaust, engine exhaust piping, turbo chargers, by-pass piping, stop check valves, cross overs, expansion joints, silencers, catalytic converters, mufflers, diffusers, de-hy skids, service connection piping and most any complex surface condition in need of insulation.
