Occasionally, clients ask whether their employees will be able to independently remove and re-install insulation covers on equipment. The answer is yes. They will not have the slightest problem with this, especially as our technicians provide hands-on training in the use of the insulation, ensuring that after their visit there is no doubt about how to operate SUM Guard covers.
Efficient handling of insulated equipment
First and foremost, personnel involved in installing or removing the insulation covers do not require any specialist qualifications. The thermal insulation covers are designed from the outset for frequent installation and removal without the use of any tools, and are equipped with quick and convenient fastening systems that are easy to grip and operate.
When removed from insulated components, the thermal insulation covers take up minimal space, are lightweight, and easy to carry.
In addition, our covers are fitted with identification tags that facilitate handling. These tags can include any information required by the client, such as custom names, location, department, equipment numbering, and so on.
In some cases, a single cover for one piece of equipment may consist of multiple elements. To make handling easier in such situations, we create “layout maps” showing the arrangement and identification of the individual parts.
Ultimately, one of the key functions of the covers is to ensure easy and rapid access to insulated valves and equipment.
For maintenance department personnel and production plant managers, a key benefit of using removable insulation covers is the reduction in inspection, maintenance and repair time by eliminating the installation and removal time associated with fixed insulation systems.
Time is money, so the shorter the downtime and disruption to the production process, the lower the losses for the company.
