Boiler Insulation

AndyBev

Hi all

I want to insulate the boilers on 2 of my HX machines basically to reduce the running costs and as a side benefit in the summer the prep area will hopefully be a bit cooler ( temperatures in the 40’s are not rare here in the summer) Ok the cups will not be so hot on top of the machine but I will leave the pipework uninsulated so there will be some heat.

Can anyone recommend an insulation I can use.

thanks in advance

I used Insul Bright heat insulating fleece wadding on the boiler of the Silvia that I restored recently. It is the wadding used in lining ironing boards and oven gloves. Pretty cheap, I put a double layer on the boiler and still have lots left. You can also use silicone foam but it is more expensive and hard to find in small quantities.

Norvin I did get in touch with one company on line for the silicon sheeting and I was told they do not do small orders of less than £250

Thanks for the reply

I’ve used grey non woven polyester pond fleece/liner..
