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...
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...
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....
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...
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...
Reusable insulation
If someone believes that something cannot be insulated, we turn it into “it can be done”.Our work is perfectly captured by a quote from Stanisław Bareja’s film “Teddy Bear”:“…We open the eyes of the unbelievers. Look – we say – this is ours, made by us, and this is not...
Insulation Covers for Flexible Hoses
We periodically present what we consider interesting projects carried out for our clients. The image shows insulation covers for flexible hoses used for transferring chemical substances. The function of thermal insulation covers is to protect the medium inside the piping system from a drop in temperature.In this particular case, the...
