Everything looks correct in the documentation. The installation is complete. The process is running. And yet it is precisely in these minor areas that the greatest amount of energy is lost. Valves, flanges, and fittings — components that: ☑️ are frequently left exposed, ☑️ are sometimes overlooked during insulation, Every...
Energy calculations
Alongside our quotation, our Clients receive energy calculations for each piece of equipment to be insulated. What parameters are required to perform such a calculation? Input data such as operating temperatures and ambient temperatures are determined during an on-site inspection carried out by our technicians using, among other tools, a...
Technology in detail – how insulation determines success
The perfect fit of thermal insulation covers to industrial installations is a detail that determines the energy efficiency of entire production plants. At first glance, insulation may seem to be simply “something” applied to pipes, valves, or tanks to reduce heat losses. In practice, however, success lies in the details....
Thermal insulation covers in industry
Thermal insulation covers in industry are an important component designed to improve energy efficiency and safety in various industrial processes. Below are several key aspects regarding their application: Thermal insulation: Thermal insulation covers are used to insulate pipes, tanks, boilers, and other heat-conducting equipment. They help reduce heat losses, which...
Measurement head on the furnace.
What device is hidden beneath the thermal insulation covers? It may not seem like much, but it is labour-intensive: starting from the time a technician needs to take measurements, through accounting for openings for outgoing cables and sensors, and finally installation. The measurement head on the furnace, which we will...
TEAM
An industrial valve assembly may consist of multiple devices. As in the case of our Client, the term “dust station” referred to installation components such as valves, a separator, a pump, a union, and a tee. The final result: SUM Guard insulation covers perfectly fitted and tightly enclosing the equipment....
White Certificates
An increasing number of our clients are investing in thermal insulation solutions that reduce energy losses and take advantage of the possibility of obtaining energy efficiency certificates.White certificates may be applied for by any entity that implements an energy efficiency improvement project with a value of at least 10 toe.We...
Thermal insulation jackets provide instant, tool-free access to the insulated component.
This type of insulation, as shown in the photograph, unfortunately performs well only until the first dismantling.What happens when a maintenance technician needs to service valve equipment that has been insulated in a way that prevents reinstallation? The insulation is either damaged or temporarily and improvised repaired in a manner...
Dome-shaped covers
Do we manufacture jackets for dome-shaped components? Of course! For autoclave heads, reactor heads, and vessels—i.e. equipment featuring a spherical dome geometry—we are also able to design and manufacture tailored insulation solutions. We manufacture self-supporting thermal insulation jackets for domes in both horizontal and vertical configurations. The smallest dome—or rather...
Thermal insulation jackets for extruders
Another project for a client in the plastics processing industry. Using SUM Exhaust Guard jackets, we insulated a large machine park consisting of extruders of various shapes and sizes. The high temperature resistance of SUM Exhaust Guard covers in the range of 450°C–1000°C is achieved through the use of a...
