Pre-Insulation

KAEFER provides a Pre-In­su­la­tion process that of­fers com­pel­ling be­ne­fits over conven­tional hand applied and other insulation meth­ods.

KAEFER has in­ves­ted heav­ily in re­search and de­vel­op­ment to refine a mechanised pro­cess that results in a high-qual­ity over­all solu­tion that can be com­pleted anywhere, on-time and at a competitive cost.

The Pre-In­su­la­tion pro­cess is based around mod­u­lar plant and fa­cil­it­ies that can be mo­bil­ised around the globe to efficiently insulate the pipes at a more convenient loc­a­tion be­fore they are installed on-site. The insulation that is applied within the plant is com­prised of sev­eral lay­ers of polyurethane foam covered by a tough outer com­pos­ite shell.

Along with ful­filling the primary insulating func­tions, the Pre-Insulated pipe is also mech­an­ic­ally very ro­bust and able to cope with the rig­ours of construction, followed by a long fu­ture of low-maintenance operation. This sys­tem has proven it­self over the years in numerous installations.
