A New Technology in Vessels
and Vessel Head Insulation
Crossroads C&I is the leading manufacturer of prefabricated insulated vessels and vessel heads. In our quest to constantly pursue innovation as a means to solve industry wide issues we now have in place an automated computer programed milling unit which cuts the insulation block into “three dimensional tiles”. This new advancement in fabrication technology surpasses any previous methodologies on numerous levels – We’re here to help!

Features and Benefits
- Reduces the installation time significantly to insulate a vessel head
- Shortens the schedule of the overall project which allows for optimization of project resources and budget forecasting
- Improves quality, fit and finish by less field cutting
- Larger tiles cuts down on breakage as opposed to the larger number of smaller tiles done conventionally which increases the staging and installation time
- Less sealant/buttering given the minimal tiles installed to cover the vessel surface which yields less sealant materials and reduces costs
- With less seams this has the potential of improving the overall thermal performance of the vessel unit
- Custom labelling system within each tile plus a complete mapping installation guide is attached to each order which speeds up the fabrication time of the job at site and decreases the chance for errors during installation
Product Description
The profile of these tiles matches the curvature of the head or subsequent insulation layers. The cutting unit not only calculates how to cut the contour and edges of each insulation tile but this computer aided program provides the maximum size of insulation tiles per surface area. Each insulation piece is then identified through our inscribed tiling system and a layout drawing is provided for site installation.
