MECHANICAL INSULATION

SmartShield™

Northern Michigan is home to a good number of food processing facilities, most famously for cherries and other fruit. In serving area food processors’ roofing needs, we often noticed insulation failure on rooftop pipes and ductwork. When we spoke with facility managers, they said that they needed to replace their mechanical insulation every 5–7 years.

So we invented SmartShield, an FDA-approved mechanical insulation that lasts longer and works better. It’s a patented covering that blankets the full length of interior and exterior pipes, ducts, and vessels and is welded into an air-tight seal. SmartShield™ mechanical insulation locks out moisture of any kind, including built-up ice, to prevent corrosion and rust, mold contamination.

PATENTED PROTECT REVOLUTIONARY LIFESPAN

For Pipes, Ducts, and Vessels

We knew there had to be a better way to protect the ducts and pipes that could potentially be the source of food contamination. And we were right. After two years of R&D to create a mechanical insulation product that would protect better and last longer, we started offering SmartShield to food processors in 2008. In 2012, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office granted us a patent. View the photos on this page to see what SmartShield looks like, both before and after:
