Rolls of the packing machine undertakes an imperative job in packing industries. So as to decrease the power input and reducingthe heat dissipation rate, there are numerous methodologies, for example, surface coatings, surface boronizing and with heat shields and so forth. This work is expected to reducethe power contribution to heaters by diminishing the heat dissemination rate utilizing heat shields with simulation of different thicknesses. There is a decrease of dissipation of heat by using Stainless steel 316 Ti (0.7 mm thickness) heat shields and there is a reduction of 13.9% in power input, 28% time saving and14% in heat dissipation rate is noticedwhencompared to standard rolls up to steady surface temperature where there is saving of 198W per hour in power after steady temperature. Hence an attempt is being made for improving results that are obtained from experiments by using simulation through ANSYS steady state thermal analysis. From the results it is inferred that as thickness of heat shield increases the input electrical energy for the heater goes on reducing and results shows that 0.7 mm thickness shield is 4.28% efficient than 0.8 mm heat shield. Further through simulation optimum thickness is was observed. But thickness is restricted to 1mm only because of machine specification complexity. Further the results of simulation for varying thickness are presented with contours of temperature distribution and heat flux.
