COLLAR INSULATION

Collars can be found in all types of restaurant equipment and are common accessories to other components. A collar is a restraining or connecting band, ring, flange, or pipe in machinery used to restrain motion, hold something in place, or join two or more parts together. Mechanical collars often hold bearings and sprockets on shafts, situate components in motor and gearbox assemblies, and serve as mechanical stops. Collars may also be used on cups and containers, blending pitchers and more.

Thermal insulation is the reduction of heat transfer (i.e., the transfer of thermal energy between objects of differing temperature) between objects in thermal contact or in range of radiative influence. Thermal insulation can be achieved with specially engineered methods or processes, as well as with suitable object shapes and materials.
