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....
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....
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...
Installation outside the building
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...
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...
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:...
Noise
Thermal insulation covers are a highly versatile technology that also combines thermal insulation functions with the damping of sound across a range of frequencies. This makes it possible to simultaneously reduce heat loss and mitigate noise generated by equipment. It is a highly practical solution where both thermal and acoustic...
Service
SUM Guard thermal insulation covers are a solution designed for easy handling during both installation and removal. Thanks to a simple fastening system and flexible materials, the covers can be quickly and effortlessly fitted onto equipment and removed again when required. Employees do not need to use specialised equipment or...
