Extrusion Machine Insulation

Machines using electrical power in the extrusion process, which is a production process of pushing or pressing materials through a die to create workpieces with a consistent cross-section according to the die shape, face heat loss problems at the machine’s heater surface. During operation, the surface temperature averages 180-240 degrees Celsius while the room temperature averages 30-34 degrees Celsius, resulting in energy waste and indirect production costs. Solving this problem with removable thermal insulation ZAVE^® offers the following advantages:

• Surface temperature after insulation installation is approximately 45-50 degrees Celsius (50 mm thickness)
• Reduces electricity costs from heat loss at heater surface
• Return on investment (ROI) within 1 year for machines operating approximately 7,500 hours per year
• Reduces risk of accidents from employee contact with heater surface
• Removable, reusable without requiring special tools
• Safe, no time lost on machine maintenance
• Installation service includes before-after energy savings report
