Food industry
In food processing, a lot of energy input is required for cooling and heating, and it must be used with the best efficiency achievable. Particularly in view of permanently increasing energy costs, solutions must be found to keep heat and cold losses, and thus operating costs, as low as possible.
Therefore, in food production attention should be paid, among other things, to a seamless and efficient insulation in order to be able to bring as much energy as possible into the production processes. It should be recognized that technical insulation must be able to withstand high and alternating temperatures which are common in those processes, however without losing significant insulation performance in the long term.
During production and processing, it must also be ensured that the insulation does not allow any harmful substances or particles to enter the foodstuffs. These include dust, fibers, bacteria, and volatile organic chemicals. Furthermore, all surfaces must be easy to clean. This also applies to exposed surfaces of the insulation material. These must not absorb water or cleaning agents, and the material should not react with chemicals.
Kaiflex insulation materials have all the required properties. Their low thermal conductivity ensures maximum energy efficiency. In addition, their closed-cell structure offers double safety against food contamination: First, Kaiflex does not emit any harmful substances or particles and thus meets high hygienic requirements. Second, the surface is resistant against chemicals and does not offer a chance for mold and bacteria to spread.
