Insulation is necessary for the maintenance and operation of piping, machinery, and valves. According to the National Insulation Association, proper insulation provides an immediate reduction in energy usage and lowers energy bills. Traditional fixed insulation can be difficult to work with and maintain, but there is another option. Removable insulation covers offer more flexibility and the same insulation benefits as fixed insulation.

What Is Removable Insulation?

A removable insulation cover is what the name suggests: a thermal insulation blanket that can be fitted to and easily removed from pipes, valves, and other equipment. A thermal insulation cover will help regulate temperatures and prevent environmental damage to the equipment it's outfitted to. An industrial removable insulation blanket will keep energy from escaping and reduce noise. There are a few other key benefits removable insulation has over fixed.

Easier to Maintain Equipment

Traditional insulation is essentially grafted onto machinery, pipes, and valves. It protects the equipment and helps regulate the temperature, but makes it difficult to access the equipment when it's time for inspection or maintenance. Removable covers can simply be taken off. Additionally, you don't need to get new insulation installed, you just reapply the thermal insulation blankets and you're good to go.

Customizable Shape

Removable insulation covers are customizable and can fit around any piece of machinery, no matter the size and shape. This means you won't have any pipes, valves, exhausts, or other equipment that has uninsulated areas due to odd bends or placement. A custom-fitted thermal insulation cover will cover everything you need.

Longer Lifespan

All insulation works to increase the lifespan of your equipment, but the increased flexibility of removable covers helps achieve this goal much more easily. The ease of maintenance and proper fitting both work to allow for more maintenance, more energy efficiency, and more protection. All of these factors will increase the life span of the equipment you decide to have insulated.

The benefits of removable insulation pipes lead to a better functioning workplace that is safer for your employees. Regular fixed insulation may be working for you, but when it comes time for maintenance and repairs, removable covers can't be beaten.
