In many technical installations, heat loss is limited using traditional fixed insulation, such as insulation shells with metal cladding around pipes. This is an effective solution as long as an installation is rarely modified or maintained. However, once valves, fittings or components that need to remain regularly accessible are involved, doubts often arise. Is fixed insulation still the best choice, or does an insulation mattress offer more advantages in practice?

With insulation mattresses, you essentially kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, you immediately comply with the legal obligation. The energy conservation obligation stipulates that you must take all measures that pay for themselves within five years. Insulation mattresses fall squarely into that category and are even included on the Netherlands Enterprise Agency's (RVO) Approved Measures List (EML). This means you can demonstrate that you've implemented a recognized and proven effective measure.

Every day, heat is unknowingly lost in technical installations. Uninsulated valves, flanges, pumps, and pipes continuously radiate energy into the environment. This costs money, increases energy consumption, and creates unnecessary CO₂ emissions. Our insulation mattresses offer a simple and effective solution, often paying for themselves within one to two years.

Steam systems consume a lot of energy and lose significant amounts of heat through pipes, fittings, and boilers. Insulating these components with custom-made insulation pads retains the heat within the system, keeps your system running more consistently, and saves you significantly on energy costs.

Turbines produce extremely high temperatures. If this heat escapes through the turbine casing, flanges, or inspection points, energy consumption increases and efficiency decreases. By insulating a turbine with custom-made Econtras® insulation jackets, the heat remains in the process, and the turbine runs more efficiently, resulting in lower energy costs.

A boiler house combines high temperatures, steam lines, and heat-intensive equipment. Without proper insulation, significant heat loss occurs, energy consumption increases, and the work environment becomes unnecessarily warm. With custom-made Econtras® insulation pads, the heat is retained, making the boiler house safer, more efficient, and more pleasant to work in.

The energy saving obligation is a legal requirement for companies in the Netherlands that consume a certain amount of energy. Companies with an electricity consumption of more than 50,000 kWh or a natural gas consumption of more than 25,000 m³ fall under this obligation and are required to implement sustainability measures.

In December, we insulated the technical room of an apartment complex in Rotterdam-Alexander. By installing our insulation mattresses, the complex now saves €970.96 annually in energy costs!

Thermal insulation plays an important role in industrial processes and energy management. One of the most effective solutions in this field is the insulation jacket. This innovative technology not only provides excellent protection against heat loss but also contributes to improved energy efficiency and safety across various industrial applications.
