Summer shutdowns are a great time to Improve Efficiency
With summer comes shutdowns throughout factories across the United States. One main focus during a shutdowns is to work on improving system efficiency. A simple (and affordable) way to do this is to minimize heat loss. Improved efficiency leads to reduced running costs and less stress on system parts. A simple way to improve efficiency through minimizing heat loss is to inspect and replace (as necessary) thermal seals. Higher efficiency industrial systems result in a smaller carbon footprint and lowered operating costs. In fact, manufacturing facilities spend nearly $200 billion every year to power facilities and waste nearly 30% of that energy.
Tadpole seals for thermal sealing
Ovens, furnaces, boilers, dryers, etc are all use a variety of tadpole seals to minimize heat loss. During a shutdown systems are inactive and high operating temperatures(which can make inspection difficult) are not an issue. Gaskets Inc tadpole seals are designed to minimize heat loss that occurs in a systems doors and access panels. We manufacture tadpole seals custom for each application. A short one week standard lead time for tadpole seals give maintenance personnel plenty of time to replace parts before the end of a shutdown.
