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...
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...
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...
Why SUM Guard covers?
Why do Clients so readily choose our SUM Guard thermal insulation covers? Here are three reasons! EXPERIENCE – for over 18 years, SUM Guard covers have been proving their effectiveness every day on valves, installations, and industrial equipment in Poland and abroad. PRECISION – we design using the latest CAD...
Steam installation
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...
Custom thermal insulation – animal feed drying oven
Is there any unusual piece of equipment that we are unable to insulate? None has been found so far.We offer our Clients a wide range of removable, reusable (long-life) insulating covers, designed to meet the specific requirements of even the most demanding industries. So when a Client tells us they...
“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,...
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...
Covers for pasteurisers
Heat exchangers, whose primary function is to transfer heat between two (or more) circuits, are another type of installation/equipment that should be insulated. Heat exchangers form a very broad group of devices which, depending on their application, may differ significantly in size and construction type. We will focus here on...
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...
