Yes, we can create interfaces to Gesotec fiber and Agema SLS systems.  If your camera is old enough to likely need repairs, we have spare parts, or can arrange trade-ups.

Tire run at a specific shell temperatures for proper shell support (< 0.250” clearance).  High temperatures effect the lining like a sprained finger being crushed by a ring when it swells, breaking refractory and inevitably leading to downtime and deformed shells.

Monitoring of dams and coating drops helps balance operations.  If dams must be shot out, you can check your aim, minimizing ammunition costs.  Keeping this balance can extend refractory life.  Required relining requirements can also be accurately predicted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Infrared linescanning utilizes a rotating mirror and fixed detector to scan moving or rotating objects from end to end.  On a 4.5 RPM mill, up to 170,000 temperature measurements are made over the entire kiln surface.

What is infrared linescanning?

Why do I need to monitor the kiln shell?  It has been running fine.

What is Tire Slip / Creep?  I have thrust/location sensors on the tires already.

I have an older system, can I just upgrade.  My camera is ok, the computer  is old.

This depends on the length of your kiln and the number of columns blocking the camera’s view.  Provide us layout drawings or the area and kiln vertical elevations, and we will provide an installation recommendation for you.

How do I tell if I need a 1 or 2 camera system?

Infrared Imaging for Process Control

No.  This is large equipment.  Shell are +1“ thick, brick is 4”-8” thick.  2 head systems providing ~512 resolution has system redundancy.  Single brick failures rarely cause shutdowns.  Higher resolution cameras are exist but are unlikely to justify their costs.

Raytek is 256 horizontal pixels? Don’t I want 512 or more?
