Water and steam installations in district heating networks are often of very large dimensions. What was the largest diameter of pipelines insulated with SUM Maintenance Guard thermal insulation covers? The nominal diameter (DN) of pipelines in a district heating chamber reached up to 1,200 mm!!!!! How is it possible that,...
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...
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...
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...
Furnace insulation
Who can guess which device is hidden under our insulation covers in the photo? Here’s a hint. Machines, more precisely furnaces used for firing can lids and food cans. For insulating the equipment, SUM Chemical Guard covers were used. Both the inner and outer jacket of the covers were made...
How is a SUM Guard cover constructed?
Manufacturing of SUM Guard thermal insulation cover varies depending on its application. The material of the inner and outer jacket is selected individually by us according to the temperature and operating conditions of the equipment. A wide range of glass and silicate fabrics is available in various impregnation versions and...
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...
