Heat Loss Prevention - Barrel Insulation Blankets
CPT offers Barrel Insulation Blankets for injection molding, blow molding and structural foam molding machines. By insulating your barrels you can capture and retain the heat that you have already paid for. In addition to energy savings of an average of 33%, the Insulation Blankets pay for themselves rapidly by preventing high BTU loss into the plant ambient air and improving the efficiency of the molding process. Radiant heat loss reduces the effectiveness of the injection or extrusion process.
R.O.I is typically less than 12 months excluding rebates from power companies
