Custom Industrial Insulation Systems & Heat Protection

Fingerhuth manufactures removable insulation jackets and covers, textile pipe and hose insulation, fabric expansion joints, custom heat protection curtains and heat protection sleeves. Each system is engineered according to the requirements of the respective industrial application.

A removable insulation jacket is a flexible, custom-fabricated thermal insulation system for components such as valves, flanges, piping and machinery. Unlike permanently installed insulation, it can be opened and removed for maintenance or inspection and subsequently reinstalled.

Textile pipe insulation can be manufactured for straight pipe sections, 45° and 90° elbows, tees, reducers, flanges, valves and other custom piping geometries. Flexible hoses can also be insulated, depending on the application and the required degree of movement.

Textile insulation systems can be adapted to complex geometries and, depending on their construction, can be designed to be removable and reusable. They are particularly suitable for components where thermal insulation and regular maintenance access need to be combined.

The permissible temperature range depends on the material construction and the type of thermal exposure. Depending on the application, materials are available for industrial high-temperature applications up to approximately 1200 °C. Contact temperature, ambient temperature and radiant heat as well as the duration and intensity of exposure must be considered separately during technical design.

Yes. A significant proportion of our insulation systems are custom-manufactured from drawings, samples, measurements or technical specifications. Geometry, materials, insulation construction, closures, cut-outs and fastening points can be individually defined.

Yes. Existing textile insulation components can be used as the basis for replacement or remanufacturing. Geometry, material construction and design details are assessed and can be reproduced according to the technical requirements or modified where necessary.

Thermal insulation primarily focuses on reducing heat transfer and surface temperature. Heat protection can instead focus on shielding a component or working area from radiant heat or other forms of thermal exposure. In industrial applications, both functions can also be combined within the same technical solution.

Particularly useful information includes component type and dimensions, operating and ambient temperature, type of thermal exposure, installation conditions, required protective function and quantity. Drawings, photographs or existing samples can additionally support the technical assessment.
