VIP program helps ensure equipment performanceIf you own a Supercookor®, Equacookor® or Dupps batch cooker, your best assurance of continued dependable performance is the Dupps VIP (Vessel Inspection Program). VIP includes a complete regimen of the inspections, reports and recommendations you need to monitor and evaluate the condition of cooker pressure vessels.Periodic inspection, nor

mally once a year, is vital because process materials gradually wear down a vessel’s tube walls, stiffeners and inner shell, and wash away weld metal. Eventually, this reduces the vessel’s operating pressure rating and structural integrity. With VIP, customers get all the information they need to avoid failure and expensive downtime, as well as meet OSHA 1910.119 requirements for the mechanical integrity of pressure vessels.
