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...
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....
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...
Valve assembly – facilitating maintenance work
The daily work of our technicians brings many design challenges when developing insulation jackets. At times, this process is made easier when our technical design specialists are dealing with a valve assembly. This is a more convenient situation for the entire team – both the design department, production, and those...
Did you know that…?
Each individual cover manufactured by SUM Poland undergoes a detailed two-stage quality control process!!! Yes, every cover is inspected twice.We must be certain that a product carrying a nameplate with the SUM Poland logo meets all requirements for this type of insulation. The jacket must conform to the technical drawing,...
Let’s take a look at how the covers look after several years of use.
Another recently completed successful project in a production facility? Yes and no… Successful, most definitely – but its completion date was 2022. The covers still look like new, with no significant signs of wear, despite being removed and refitted at least once a week in practice. We recently had the...
