Recognizing how inefficient,cumbersome and wasteful themethod of field cutting flatblock to insulate vessel headswas, Jon Hall of J.C. HallCompany tried Pamrod HATS(Highly Advanced ThermalSystems) to insulate thesemi-elliptical and dished

heads of the Elk PremiumRoofing shingle plant inMyerstown, PA. The result was an easy,efficient and cost-effectivesuccess. In fact, Hall attests,“You’d be a fool not to usePamrod heads. I will never

again consider field fabricatinginsulation for a tank head. Ittakes too long and it’s tooinefficient.” Because of the flammablenature of the 450° - 550°Fahrenheit hot oil, thermal oiland asphalt flowing throughthe piping and equipment of

the Elk shingle plant,Pittsburgh Corning Foamglas®

insulation was specified. Withthat, Hall’s team insulated an8-foot diameter 2:1 ellipticalhead with two layers of 2-inchthick Foamglas in less thanhalf the time it would have

taken themto field cutflat block. That’sprettyremarkableconsideringtheinstallerswere first-time usersof PamrodHATS --imaginehowquickly
