Insulation Systems Provide Personnel Safety

Protecting employees is a top priority in every manufacturing facility. UniTherm blankets and wraps protect employees working near high temperature machinery. Our blankets provide such superior insulation than you safely touch the outside of the blankets while machines are running.

The example below shows the surface temperature with and without insulation systems. Typically we use 1" insulation but can create custom insulation systems to meet your exact needs.

UniTherm Insulation Systems protect personnel from risk of burns by significantly decreasing the surface temperature of machinery
