Full Steam Ahead: Schwarz Steam Blankets Revolutionize
De-Icing
With one year under its belt, Schwarz Steam Blankets Inc., patent
pending, is a young company that offers consumers a new and innovative
environmentally friendly de-icing, thawing and warming product.
This product is intended to improve onsite safety, reduce wait times,
decrease production costs and increase customer revenues.
"It's a revolution in de-icing, thawing and heating,"
says John Schwarz, Steam Blanket inventor and president of the company
that sells the product. From his own experience in the oil and gas
industry, Schwarz quickly recognized the need for steam blankets.
The Steam Blankets hook up easily to any steam line; steam is forced
through the blanket by pressure and evenly displaced through holes
in the bottom of the blanket. The Steam Blankets practically eliminate
the 'steam fog' generated by hand steaming. As well, the more efficient
utilization of steam boilers reduces operating costs.
This exciting innovation is made from F.A. rated fire resistant,
mildew resistant, waterproof vinyl, which is covered with polypropylene
for extra protection and durability. The blanket is double stitched
using waterproof nylon thread to prevent fraying and water damage.
Heat-resistant nylon handles are sewn onto the sides for easy repositioning.
"I am impressed by its versatility. It can thaw out or de-ice
virtually everything from walkways, stairs, suction lines, shaker
beds, catwalks, tongs, pipe spinners, and practically every piece
of equipment on the rig,"says Linus, Rig Manager, Rig 21, Lakota
Drilling.
The Steam Blankets are now being used on oil rigs throughout Canada.
Globally, businesses are making inquiries as to the Steam BlanketsÕ
applications in other industries such as agriculture, construction,
maintenance, pre-cast concrete, shipping, rendering and transportation.
Research and development are ongoing.
Schwarz Steam Blankets are available in standard or custom order
sizes and distributed through a growing supplier base. More information
