Each technical installation has its own unique shape and complex geometry. That is why we design bespoke solutions for every type of valve or fitting to which our covers are to be installed. The thermal insulation covers are tailored to fit precisely and adhere closely to the insulated equipment. The...
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...
“We insulate everything, in all conditions”
We may need to change our advertising slogan from “We insulate responsibly” to “We insulate everything, in all conditions.”The work of our technicians often involves a range of situations where taking measurements and installing covers is challenging due to the specific location of the assignment. This is particularly the case...
Filter separators
An explosion-hazard area requires the application of appropriate safety measures. Equipment and materials compliant with ATEX zone technical requirements are properly marked with the “EX” symbol. SUM Antistatic Guard covers are designed for installation in explosion-hazard zones. The outer jacket is made from a specialist glass fibre fabric coated with...

When considering content for a new blog post, a photo of covers installed on a mould caught our attention. What is unusual about this image? The sunshine! It is clear that our technicians were working on a warm, sunny day. We are now somewhat missing moments like these.The automotive parts...
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...
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...
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...
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....
