It has been a long time since we last showed our covers installed outside a building. As seen in the attached image, the installation is only partially protected by walls. The covers are therefore exposed to sunlight, wind, rain, snow and temperature fluctuations. The insulated valves operate in demanding weather...
A light-hearted take on how heat can be utilised in industry.
The creativity of employees when it comes to using heat emitted by uninsulated valves is virtually limitless and often leads to many amusing applications. Dried apples? Why not? A healthy snack during work helps “recharge the batteries” for further tasks. This is just one of the photos from our technicians’...
BOILER DOOR WITH INLET
Steam boilers are often insulated across the entire body, with the exception of the front section—namely the boiler door, which must remain operable. The insulation is typically made of mineral wool or polyurethane foam, covered with a metal cladding of any suitable sheet material.The function of thermal insulation in such...
HEATING ELEMENTS FOR INJECTION MOULDING MACHINES
High temperatures on equipment always mean a short payback period for investment in thermal insulation covers. This is particularly true in the case of extruders and injection moulding machine heaters. How do we know this? After installing SUM Guard covers, customers take their own measurements and share their findings with...
Thermal insulation cover for IBC intermediate bulk containers
SUM IBC Guard thermal insulation covers for IBC intermediate bulk containers, equipped with a heating system and thermostat, are designed to maintain a specified process-required temperature and/or prevent the temperature from falling below a set level (protection against freezing or crystallisation). They are designed for repeated use and do not...
Insulation covers for ball valves
Ball valves are a common type of valve with wide applications across all industries. Our technicians encounter them regularly in their work. This important shut-off component is responsible for fully isolating and quickly restoring the flow of process media (liquids and gases). They can be used in both low and...
Insulation filling in SUM GUARD covers
Why do we use mechanically needled glass fibre mat (E-Glass) instead of mineral wool in our covers? The answer is simple. In the production of our SUM GUARD covers, we use only high-quality components, and needle-punched glass fibre mat is one of them. Mechanically needled glass fibre (E-Glass), unlike standard...
Busy summer holidays
Summer holidays, despite their name, are a very busy period for companies such as SUM Poland. Many industrial plants schedule maintenance and production shutdowns during this time. We make use of these downtime windows to install our thermal insulation covers. Simply put, it is easier and safer to work on...
SUM Hygienic Guard covers – PZH certified
SUM Higienic Guard covers are a range of insulation covers designed for valves and equipment used in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries, as well as wherever strict hygienic requirements must be met in product-contact environments. In addition to their standard, excellent thermal insulation and operational properties, these covers also:...
White Certificates
An increasing number of our projects are linked to clients obtaining White Certificates. Energy efficiency certificates represent a significant financial incentive. We provide comprehensive project support: from technical consultancy, through assistance with any procedures related to obtaining White Certificates, to measurements, manufacturing, and ultimately the installation of insulation. If you...
