ObjectiveThermaSleeve by UniTherm is custom manufactured to insulate your silicone dryer lines to lower heat loss and conserve energy. Insulating your material dryer lines with ThermaSleeve allows a drying system to run up to 50% more efficiently. For most energy rebate programs, dryer hose insulations is a prescriptive product, which decreases project approval time.

Benefits » Provides personnel protection

» Reduces heat loss and energy waste

» Decrease ambient air temperature

» Improves energy efficiency

Design Components » 1.5” - 2” of insulation

» Velcro™ enclosure flaps

» Non-stick Teflon™ exterior

Prism Plastics shows impressive energy savings with UniTherm Insulation Systems

BackgroundPrism Plastics, Inc. is an ISO 9001:2008 certified custom injection molder.

With services ranging from engineering assistance with initial concept development and product design, project management from prototyping through production tooling approval, molding, assembly, custom packaging, and shipping, Prism Plastics’ works to ensure products get to market in the fastest, most economical way.

ObjectivePrism Plastics Inc was looking for a proven way to reduce their electricty usage and lower their overall energy costs.

SolutionsPrism Plastics Inc turned to UniTherm Insulation Systems to purchase a set of blankets for their 220 Sumitomo, then brought their elecritc providor in to test the results.

SuccessSt. Croix Electric ran an independent energy study on Prism Plastics’ 220 Sumitomo.

The energy study was conducted over 4 consecutive days; 2 days with blankets and 2 days without, at a consistent 350oF.

St. Croix Electric found that UniTherm blankets provided a 39.24% energy savings - which makes the blankets pay for themselves in less than 12 months.

“I look forward to continuing our relationship and I have lots more machines to install UniTherm blankets on! ”Michael Brinkman VP Manufacturing
