Industrial Heat Blankets

October 27, 2011 By Leave a Comment

If you process, store, move, or use any kind of liquid outdoors in the winter time, then you are all too familiar with the damage to material and equipment freezing temperatures can cause.

This is the time of year when we see the need for our FlexWatt industrial heat blankets kick into full swing. Typical applications such as tanks, totes, drums and buckets are available in standard sizes. We also manufacture custom solutions for pumps, pipeline, valves, instrumentation and any other application that requires freeze protection.

What equipment do you need to protect this winter?

What’s New at UniTherm International?

August 9, 2011 By Leave a Comment

2011 has been an exciting year at UniTherm International! Over the last year, we’ve taken major strides in improving our facility and R&D capabilities, strengthening marketing efforts, and broadening our representative base. We’re pleased share a sneak peak inside UniTherm HQ to show you changes we’re making to improve our products and services.

Research and Development Updates

Using state-of-the art technology and equipment, UniTherm engineers are more focused on research and development than ever before. This year we’ve rigorously tested our products’ performance which has led to the release of new and improved models of FirePro, discovered new applications for UniVest and FlexWatt and even launched a new product, SolarShell.

SolarShell is a glass-reinforced, plastic laminate that cures and hardens when exposed to UV rays. Be sure to stay tuned for future SolarShell updates, as we’ll release a series of test videos for this multipurpose product later this summer. [Read more...]

It’s Gonna be a Cold One

October 25, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Enjoy the fall while it lasts, because winter will be here before we know it – and it’s predicted to be another rough one.

The 2010 Farmers’ Almanac is predicting a winter with temperatures below normal average, especially for the areas between the continental divide and Appalachian mountains.

While precipitation is expected to be normal, or even less than usual, your equipment will still be vulnerable to the harsh cold temperatures the winter is sure to bring.

You can avoid the risk of wasting thousands of dollars on frozen temperature-sensitive applications by using simple, cost effective freeze protection blankets.

Now is the time to start preparing – start with our checklist:

  • Bring your freeze protection blankets out of storage
    or
  • Plan your freeze protection purchases (check out FlexWatt blankets by UniTherm)
    • Make sure you’re covered for pipe, instrumentation, barrels and drums, valves and flanges, pumps, and bulk storage devices.
  • Train employees to apply and remove blankets & stress the importance of freeze protection

These simple steps will save you thousands in frozen goods and broken equipment this winter – you’ll have to invest in a slew of snuggies though to keep personnel warm.
