Insulation is one of the components with the greatest influence on furnace performance.
A good or poor choice between the different types of insulation can be game-changing in terms of efficient production and significant resource waste.
Learn more about the importance of insulation and what to consider when choosing or substituting your equipment's insulation.
How does the material used influence the insulation?
The two most common insulation materials for furnaces and kilns are:
A) Ceramic fiber
This low density insulation offers a significant advantage in shuttle kilns by minimizing heat waste and lowering fuel consumption.
- Enables faster heating and cooling due to lower heat storage, resulting in a better response.
- Ceramic fiber requires less maintenance when the fibers remain undamaged.
For these reasons, at NUTEC Bickley, we use ceramic fiber in our furnace and kiln insulation in feasible applications that deliver or will deliver an operational advantage. This material is sourced from our sister company, which specializes in fiber products.
