Thin Film High Insulation Material - Case Study: Temperature Retention for Cold Water Tanks in Sake Breweries
Introducing a case that contributed to maintaining the temperature inside an 8,000ℓ cold water tank and preventing condensation on the tank's outer surface.
Sumitomo Riko's "Fine Shlight" is a coating made from silica aerogel with very high thermal insulation performance, applied to a non-woven fabric to create a thin film sheet of less than 1mm. Here are some examples of the adoption of our product "Fine Shlight." It is being utilized by a sake brewing manufacturer. 【Adoption Case】 ◎ Installation Site: Hayakawa Sake Brewery ◎ Application: Cold water tank used for washing rice (8,000 liters) ◎ Purpose: Improve temperature retention of the tank and prevent condensation on the exterior ▼ Key Points of Installation A heat-insulating type was used on the outside of the cold water tank (an 8,000-liter tank used for washing rice) to prevent condensation. It was installed using a simple method of securing it with bands. ▼ Effects After Adoption - Met the request to maintain the tank temperature at 10°C while the outside temperature was 24-25°C. - Contributed to condensation prevention measures. Due to its thin, lightweight, and soft material, it is effective in various manufacturing environments. *Product information can be viewed in the catalog via [PDF Download].
