Companies operating in the cosmetics industry continuously invest in modernising their production lines. They purchase new machines and equipment designed in line with current technological trends. This is not only due to the fact that cosmetics production is carried out on an increasingly large scale, but also to ensure hygienic...
What information is required to prepare a preliminary quotation?
What questions can we ask a client who contacts us regarding a preliminary quotation?Interested parties usually already have a list of valves or equipment they wish to insulate, including their names. However, in order to prepare an accurate and well-tailored quotation, we require a few additional details: DiameterLengthOperating temperature Additional...
“We insulate everything, in all conditions”
We may need to change our advertising slogan from “We insulate responsibly” to “We insulate everything, in all conditions.”The work of our technicians often involves a range of situations where taking measurements and installing covers is challenging due to the specific location of the assignment. This is particularly the case...
Filter separators
An explosion-hazard area requires the application of appropriate safety measures. Equipment and materials compliant with ATEX zone technical requirements are properly marked with the “EX” symbol. SUM Antistatic Guard covers are designed for installation in explosion-hazard zones. The outer jacket is made from a specialist glass fibre fabric coated with...

When considering content for a new blog post, a photo of covers installed on a mould caught our attention. What is unusual about this image? The sunshine! It is clear that our technicians were working on a warm, sunny day. We are now somewhat missing moments like these.The automotive parts...
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...
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....
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...
Furnace insulation
Who can guess which device is hidden under our insulation covers in the photo? Here’s a hint. Machines, more precisely furnaces used for firing can lids and food cans. For insulating the equipment, SUM Chemical Guard covers were used. Both the inner and outer jacket of the covers were made...
From the series: Our projects
And another example of the application of thermal insulation covers at one of our clients’ sites. Standard industrial fittings, which had previously remained uninsulated, generating heat losses. SUM Maintenance Guard covers are an excellent complement to conventional insulation systems. The fusion of these two technologies creates a coherent and complete...
