Barrel Insulation for Injection Molding

Injection Molding Barrel Insulation

UniTherm’s low-cost barrel insulation jackets reduce energy costs and shorten start-up time between jobs by directing heat back into your injection barrels. This reduces the ambient temperature in your facility, so you pay less for equipment operation and air conditioning. The combined benefits of UniVest allow you to save on energy costs while reducing your organization’s environmental impact.

UniVest insulation systems can also increase production capacity by improving control of process temperature. The jackets keep injection barrels at a steady temperature, which means less down time between jobs. Our product also creates a safer work environment for your employees and extends by protecting key components from high temperatures.

UniTherm offers both off-the-shelf solutions for insulating injection molding equipment and custom designed insulation systems. Our unique design technology allows us to create custom blankets with notches, donuts, cut-outs or any other variation required to perfectly fit your equipment.

UniTherm also offers easily removable insulation solutions for frequent process changes. Learn more about Quick Cool for process temperature changes.

Paybacks & Incentives

Low Investment, High Return Energy Project

Machine insulation is a fast payback and high ROI energy efficiency project: more so than any other energy saving initiatives. The barrier is low to get started and we can provide high temperature insulation systems that fit your needs and budget. The chart on the right demonstrates estimated three year savings by machine tonnage. You can also download an injection molding payback sheet.

Available Rebates & Tax Credits

State and utility programs across the US are offering substantial incentives for energy efficiency projects, offsetting anywhere from 30 - 120% of the purchase price of high temperature industrial insulation. We work closely with these groups to ensure you receive the maximum benefit available in your area.

Low interest financing is also available in most locations. The benefits of financing now versus waiting to purchase later are easily quantified. Read more and see the numbers on our blog.
