We present another project on a steam installation, where our task was to fit into areas where the use of fixed insulation was not possible. Exposed valve components and other fittings generated unnecessary energy losses. A properly matched size and shape of the insulating covers ensures that all valve components...
“Warning: Hot surface”
“Warning! Hot surface.” Such warning signs above technical installations can be found in many production plants. We know a fast and effective way to separate heated valve and piping surfaces and prevent unwanted incidents. This is achieved, of course, by installing SUM Guard thermal insulation covers in these areas. Importantly,...
Dyeing machine
A dyeing machine has just joined our collection of non-standard projects. We have already delivered highly specific orders such as a dumpling vat, a bottle washing machine, as well as vessels and boilers used in the brewing industry. This time, we worked for a client in a related sector, where...
Ochrona przed poparzeniem
In our blog, we present the energy savings achieved through the installation of thermal insulation covers on valves and fittings; however, this is not their only advantage. A key benefit is workplace safety – protection of employees against burns.In many production facilities where we install SUM Guard covers, technical equipment...
Where is thermal energy being lost from?
Are you wondering where heat is escaping in your plant? After all, most equipment and technical installations in industrial facilities are already insulated, and yet energy bills remain high and continue to hit your budget. What has been overlooked? Perhaps just a few valves. Are you sure? Or are there...
Gas boiler house
Another project we would like to present features our SUM Guard covers installed on valves and installations in a gas boiler house.At the same time, we had the opportunity to see one of the largest and most modern cardboard manufacturing plants in Poland. In a completely new, recently commissioned boiler...
Pump set covers
We are going to show off a bit—why not? A job well done deserves a few words.Recently, at a client in the food industry, we installed insulation covers for pipework, including a pump set. Our SUM Guard thermal insulation products are perfectly tailored to both the equipment and the existing...
Covers for dehydrators
Within industrial valves and fittings, there are devices which may not be impressive in size, yet play a particularly important role. A good example of this is condensate drains. Condensate drains are used, among other applications, in steam transmission pipelines and heat exchanger equipment. The function of a condensate drain...
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...
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....
