Custom removable insulation blankets play a vital role in maintaining optimal temperatures for industrial equipment. To maximize their effectiveness, it is crucial to install these blankets with precision and expertise. At SUM Ltd, we take pride in our meticulous approach to insulation blanket installation, ensuring a perfect fit for all types of equipment. In this blog, we will explore the significance of accurate installations and provide insights on installing insulation blankets for challenging parts.
The Importance of Precise Installation
Installing insulation blankets that fit your equipment accurately offers several benefits. An ill-fitted blanket with gaps can compromise its effectiveness by allowing air to pass through, leading to energy inefficiency. Moreover, improper insulation can cause condensation and water damage, leading to corrosion over time. SUM Ltd understands these challenges and prioritizes precise measurements to deliver optimal insulation solutions.

Tips for Installing Blankets on Challenging Parts
Certain equipment parts present unique challenges during insulation blanket installation. Here are some expert tips to overcome these difficulties:
- Segmented Elbows: When installing blankets on segmented elbows, curve the edges of the blanket to match the elbow’s shape. Secure the blanket using lacing wire, ensuring there are no gaps or voids.
- Flanges: Wrap the blanket around the flange and temporarily secure it with wire or lacing. Use the blanket’s drawcords to tighten it around the flange, removing the temporary wire and fastening the draw cords around the rivets.
- MineWrap™ Mark II Butterfly Elbows: Open the blanket and pull it over the elbow by curving the edges. Secure the blanket to the joint using lace wire.
- Purifiers with Cones: Open the blanket and curve it around the cone until the edges meet, conforming to the purifier and cone shape. Wrap the blanket with wire to secure it to the equipment.
- Manifolds: Installing insulation blankets on manifolds requires a more complex process. Fold the blanket around the manifold and create a loop on one end of the lacing wire. Follow a step-by-step procedure to wrap the wire around the manifold, rivets, and blanket, ensuring a secure fit.
Conclusion
Accurate installation of custom removable insulation blankets is crucial for ensuring energy efficiency, preventing damage, and maximizing equipment performance.
