Industrial Nanotech, Inc. Highlights Successful Use of Company’s Patented Nansulate® Energy Saving Coatings by Food & Beve...

Business Wire
Industrial Nanotech, Inc. (Pink Sheets:INTK), an emerging global
leader in nanotechnology based energy saving solutions, reported
today that the Company's Nansulate® thermal insulation and
protective coating has been successfully utilized in breweries,
food processing facilities and restaurants. Most recently,
Nansulate® Translucent High Heat was used by a commercial snack
food manufacturer to reduce surface temperature of manufacturing
equipment, including a commercial fryer, industrial oven and vent
duct. The average surface temperature reduction, over all
equipment, with a six coat coverage (approximately 300 microns
total thickness) was an average of 17.5%, with the highest
temperature difference achieved on the exterior of a commercial
fryer, reducing the temperature by 48.6 degrees Fahrenheit, from
210.2 degrees F to 161.6 degrees F.
"According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, energy
expenses rank third among costs for food manufacturers, behind raw
materials and labor,” explained Francesca Crolley, V.P. Business
Development for Industrial Nanotech, Inc. “For many years energy
has been viewed as a fixed expense and one not easily managed due
to the difficulty of insulating food manufacturing equipment. Most
traditional types of insulation perform poorly in high humidity
environments, cannot protect against contamination by mold and
moisture, and do not prevent corrosion. Nansulate® provides all of
these valuable performance qualities, insulating equipment,
reducing energy costs, lowering the surface temperature, preventing
the growth of mold and mildew, and preventing corrosion.
Additionally, Nansulate® has been proven safe for use in these
facilities, achieving NSF registration as safe for use in areas
where there may be incidental contact with food.”
Nansulate® thermal insulation coatings have been used by a
growing number of food and beverage manufacturers to insulate
equipment and reduce energy and maintenance costs. The coatings
were recently highlighted in Dairy Foods magazine in an article
titled, “New Technology Helps Food Manufacturers Manage High Energy
Costs.” A copy of the article can be found on the Nansulate® news
page at www.nansulate.com/nansulate_news.htm.
Other examples of the effectiveness of Nansulate® include:
RESTAURANT: Issue was condensation forming on overhead ducts in
restaurant dripping down onto customers. Nansulate® Translucent PT
was used by the restaurant to help control the condensation,
alleviate the excess dripping, and insulate the ductwork.
Nansulate's translucent appearance allowed for application without
changing the look of the decor.
FOOD PROCESSING: Objective was to reduce tank surface
temperature to safer levels, insulate tank to reduce heat loss.
Nansulate® Translucent PT was used by a customer on a tank that
melts butterfat. The exterior tank temperature was noticeably
reduced, creating a safer environment for employees, and the
insulation provided by Nansulate® increased the melting efficiency
of the tank, saving money and energy. "We used Nansulate last year
to paint a 5m(3) heated stainless steel tank which is positioned
outdoors at a company on Cobden. This tank is used for melting
butterfat. We achieved a measurable difference in the contents of
this tank...The outside of the tank was previously too hot to
touch. With three coats of Nansulate applied, the surface was now
warm to touch and there was a visual improvement to the melting
efficiency of the product inside. We are very happy with the
performance of Nansulate and intend on using it to paint future
tanks," David Morabito, Project Engineer, Ultraspin Technology Pty
Ltd.
BREWERY: Objective was to insulate, reduce surface temperature,
protect equipment from corrosion and moisture. Nansulate®
Translucent High Heat was applied to heat interchangers and other
equipment to insulate, protect against corrosion, and decrease the
amount of energy used for equipment processes. Preliminary results
showed a 20 degrees Centigrade (36 Fahrenheit) difference after a 3
coat coverage (approx. thickness of 7 mils).
