PROJECT SPOTLIGHT | DULUTH, MINNESOTA

Most asphalt producers think about fuel costs, production rates, and maintenance schedules.

But what about the heat you’re paying for and losing every single day?

Our team recently completed a custom insulation project for a customer in Duluth, Minnesota, helping protect critical plant components from heat loss while improving efficiency, personnel safety, and overall plant reliability.

Every BTU that escapes your system is energy you’ve already paid for. Proper insulation helps keep heat where it belongs.

At Motion Engineering, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. From custom removable insulation blankets to complete piping, tank, and equipment insulation packages, our team works alongside producers to identify opportunities that deliver measurable results.

🔥 SAFETY. RELIABILITY. PEACE OF MIND. 🔥

When it comes to asphalt plant burners, there’s no room for compromise.

Motion Engineering recently partnered with a Wisconsin producer looking to improve the reliability and safety of their fuel train system.

Our team supplied and supported the installation of:

✅ (2) New 4” Honeywell Maxon Automatic Safety Shut-Off Valves
✅ New Pressure Switches
✅ New 3” Threaded Ball Valves
✅ Miscellaneous Fittings, Gauges, and Installation

The result? A successful upgrade that improved system reliability while helping ensure critical combustion safety components are functioning as designed.

Far too often, aging components, failed switches, leaking valves, or bypassed safety interlocks can create significant operational and safety risks. Automatic Safety Shut-Off Valves, pressure switches, and combustion interlocks are the first line of defense when operating large industrial burners in asphalt manufacturing.

Routine inspections, testing, and modernization of these components aren’t just good maintenance practices, they’re essential for protecting your people, your equipment, and your production.

If you’re unsure about the condition of your fuel train, burner safety system, or combustion controls, Motion Engineering can help evaluate your system and recommend practical upgrades that improve both safety and reliability.

📞 Contact Motion Engineering today to schedule a fuel train inspection, combustion safety review, or burner system upgrade consultation.

🔥 From Wisconsin to Oregon….Another Custom Asphalt Plant Insulation Project Completed by the Team at Motion Engineering, Inc. 🔥

A well-insulated asphalt plant does more than just look clean and professional, it works smarter, more efficiently, and more profitably. Our team recently completed a custom insulation project for an asphalt producer in Oregon focused on improving heat retention, reducing fuel consumption, and protecting critical plant components from unnecessary wear and heat loss.

Why are more producers investing in insulation upgrades?

✔ Reduced fuel costs through improved thermal efficiency
✔ Faster heat retention and more consistent operating temperatures
✔ Lower maintenance costs by protecting piping, valves, tanks, and components
✔ Improved personnel safety around high-temperature equipment
✔ Cleaner, more professional plant appearance
✔ Long-term ROI that continues paying back season after season

In an industry where every gallon of fuel and every hour of uptime matters, insulation is one of the smartest investments a producer can make to improve operational efficiency and reduce waste.

Whether you need pipe insulation, tank insulation, hot oil system insulation, or a fully customized plant solution, Motion Engineering delivers insulation systems built specifically for the demanding asphalt industry.
