SUM covers can be found in many parts of Europe, North America and South America. It is in the latter continent, specifically in Brazil, that there is a production facility for which we designed and manufactured covers from the SUM Chemical Guard range. Our team of engineers has once again...
What is the cost of thermal insulation covers?
SUM Guard thermal insulation covers are custom-made to measure. SUM Guard thermal insulation covers are manufactured to measure, based on a specific order, for a designated piece of equipment or industrial fitting. The investment cost is influenced not only by the size of the technical installation, but also by factors...
Perfect complement to fixed insulation – SUM Guard covers for valve and filter heads
We have written and shown on several occasions how perfectly flexible insulation in the form of thermal covers complements fixed insulation. This is also the case here.In a production facility, in an oil pumping station, we encountered – and we must admit this – very well-executed fixed insulation, alongside, as...
Maximum diameter of an insulated pipeline
Water and steam installations in district heating networks are often of very large dimensions. What was the largest diameter of pipelines insulated with SUM Maintenance Guard thermal insulation covers? The nominal diameter (DN) of pipelines in a district heating chamber reached up to 1,200 mm!!!!! How is it possible that,...
RTO
Our Specialists in Technical Development Specialists are increasingly visiting new production facilities and encountering further interesting equipment. Recently, technicians installed SUM Guard thermal insulation covers on a heat exchanger, manifolds, fan ducts, and the fan of an RTO installation. This particular equipment sparked our interest to such an extent that...
Example of insulation covers in a food processing plant
In the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, there are specific requirements regarding insulation. 🔊 The slogan: “Zero dusting!” is self-explanatory for the SUM Poland team.In “clean zones” within facilities where elevated hygiene standards apply, no items that release dust or fibrous contamination may be present. Challenge accepted… by SUM Higienic...
Filling station nozzle – a cover with heating cables
SUM Heating Guard covers are used as an active system which, in addition to its insulating function, is able to protect installations against the temperature dropping below a preset value. At the same time, the covers protect the device itself—in this case the filling nozzle—from the adverse effects of weather...
Is thermal insulation using covers as effective as traditional insulation?
We still occasionally encounter situations where a client is not convinced that removable insulation is as effective as fixed insulation. After all, can covers made of technical fabrics really be as effective as mineral wool protected by sheet metal? The answer is yes, but more on that in a moment....
SUM Poland takes care of its customers.
Do you follow up with your customers to ask whether your product has met their expectations and satisfied their needs? We do. We contact the investor and ask how our covers are performing, whether they notice differences in energy consumption (energy efficiency), ease of maintenance of the insulated equipment, and...
Steam turbine insulation – insulation of particular importance
A conventional power turbine is a highly sensitive and complex piece of equipment, with a clearly defined division into temperature zones: - in the high-pressure section, the casing reaches temperatures close to those of the live steam, which can be as high as 600°C and pressures of up to 200...
