This paper presents an experimental characterization on the mechanical behaviour offour different sandwich panels, for use in thermal insulation. These Panels are the results of thecombination of four composite materials; two materials as skins (Glass-Polyester and Plywood)and two as cores (Polystyrene and Cork agglomerate). From the comparison between themechanical behaviour of these four sandwich panels which was tested for three point-bendingtests; the sandwich with Glass-Polyester as skin and Cork agglomerate as core has the highestoverall stiffness compared to the other sandwich panels. Furthermore, thermal characteristics ofthese four panels (insulation materials) were numerically used in a comparative study of thermalperformances of solar flat plate collectors, FPCs. Thus, we have proceeded to the comparison ofthese FPCs efficiencies in order to determine the best performing model for agro-alimentary dryingapplications. From the comparison between these four FPCs, the highest efficiency was obtainedfrom the FPC insulation panel with plywood as skin and cork agglomerate as core.
