Everything looks correct in the documentation. The installation is complete. The process is running. And yet it is precisely in these minor areas that the greatest amount of energy is lost. Valves, flanges, and fittings — components that: ☑️ are frequently left exposed, ☑️ are sometimes overlooked during insulation, Every...
Technology in detail – how insulation determines success
The perfect fit of thermal insulation covers to industrial installations is a detail that determines the energy efficiency of entire production plants. At first glance, insulation may seem to be simply “something” applied to pipes, valves, or tanks to reduce heat losses. In practice, however, success lies in the details....
Dome-shaped covers
Do we manufacture jackets for dome-shaped components? Of course! For autoclave heads, reactor heads, and vessels—i.e. equipment featuring a spherical dome geometry—we are also able to design and manufacture tailored insulation solutions. We manufacture self-supporting thermal insulation jackets for domes in both horizontal and vertical configurations. The smallest dome—or rather...
Thermal insulation jackets for extruders
Another project for a client in the plastics processing industry. Using SUM Exhaust Guard jackets, we insulated a large machine park consisting of extruders of various shapes and sizes. The high temperature resistance of SUM Exhaust Guard covers in the range of 450°C–1000°C is achieved through the use of a...
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...
Did you know that…?
Each individual cover manufactured by SUM Poland undergoes a detailed two-stage quality control process!!! Yes, every cover is inspected twice.We must be certain that a product carrying a nameplate with the SUM Poland logo meets all requirements for this type of insulation. The jacket must conform to the technical drawing,...
Let’s take a look at how the covers look after several years of use.
Another recently completed successful project in a production facility? Yes and no… Successful, most definitely – but its completion date was 2022. The covers still look like new, with no significant signs of wear, despite being removed and refitted at least once a week in practice. We recently had the...
Large dimensions
We have already demonstrated that large dimensions are neither an obstacle nor a challenge for us. Among other projects, we have installed covers on pipeline systems in district heating chambers, with diameters reaching up to DN 1,200 mm!!!!! In the photo below, we present a recent project where the circumference...
Busy summer holidays
Summer holidays, despite their name, are a very busy period for companies such as SUM Poland. Many industrial plants schedule maintenance and production shutdowns during this time. We make use of these downtime windows to install our thermal insulation covers. Simply put, it is easier and safer to work on...
SUM Hygienic Guard covers – PZH certified
SUM Higienic Guard covers are a range of insulation covers designed for valves and equipment used in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries, as well as wherever strict hygienic requirements must be met in product-contact environments. In addition to their standard, excellent thermal insulation and operational properties, these covers also:...
