TAS Thermal Blanket Solutions for Plastics Extrusion Equipment

Thermal Insulation for Extrusion, Injection Molding & Blow Molding
TAS provides engineered removable-reusable insulation systems for plastics processing equipment, including extruder barrels and heads, injection molding machines, blow molds, and dies. Our blankets significantly reduce surface heat loss and surface temperature, improving both energy efficiency and workplace safety.

Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings
Without insulation, heaters must work continuously to compensate for heat losses, leading to high electricity consumption. With TAS blankets, heat loss can be reduced by 85–90%, resulting in substantial energy savings. Typical payback periods range from 2 to 6 months, with savings continuing throughout the expected service life of the blankets.

Stable Process & Product Quality
Plastics extrusion and molding require precise and uniform temperature control. Uninsulated equipment loses heat unevenly, causing heater cycling, melt fluctuations, and potential product defects. TAS blankets stabilize temperatures, supporting smoother operation and consistent material quality.

Extended Machine Longevity
Frequent heater cycling reduces the lifespan of heater bands and other electrical components. By lowering the thermal load, TAS blankets help extend equipment life, reducing replacement and maintenance costs.

Workplace Safety & Environment
Exposed surfaces in plastics processing often reach 250–300 °C, creating serious burn hazards and radiating unwanted heat into the workplace. TAS blankets eliminate this hazard, making maintenance safer while also lowering cooling and ventilation requirements.

Environmental Impact
Lower energy consumption translates directly into a smaller carbon footprint, helping plastics manufacturers align with sustainability targets and decarbonization initiatives.

Each TAS blanket is custom CAD-designed and fabricated for a precise fit. The design, construction and fastening system allow quick installation and removal without special tools, ensuring simple handling during maintenance.

Truly Removable & Reusable
Equipment, machinery, and fittings often require regular inspection, servicing, and maintenance. TAS insulation blankets are truly removable and reusable, designed with a user-friendly approach that allows quick removal and reinstallation. This minimizes downtime and labor while maintaining full insulation performance, making them ideal for continuous and high-availability operations.
