Thermoforming is one of the most popular techniques for producing plastic products. It involves heating a thermoplastic material and then shaping it into the desired form using a mould. However, this process generates significant energy losses in the form of heat emissions to the surroundings.
To minimise these losses, SUM Guard thermal insulation covers provide an ideal solution.

These covers are made from high-quality glass fabrics that have been specially reinforced to ensure high abrasion resistance. As a result, they are ideally suited for use in thermoforming processes.

SUM Guard covers are designed to minimise the energy required to heat the barrels of injection moulding machines, extruders, and their heads. By eliminating the risk of burns, they also improve workplace safety by reducing the ambient temperature.

SUM Guard thermal insulation covers offer a range of additional benefits. They protect equipment from damage caused by external factors such as dust, moisture, and chemicals. The covers also help stabilise operating parameters, which extends the service life of the equipment.

In summary, SUM Guard thermal insulation covers are a highly important element in thermoforming processes. They not only reduce energy losses but also improve working conditions, protect equipment and the environment, and increase production efficiency. For these reasons, their use in thermoforming processes is well worth considering.
