Steel Mills: Stop Equipment Meltdowns Heat Management Made Simple

Article NEWS 270

Critical Areas to Monitor:

  1. Furnace walls (hot spots = thinning)

  2. Conveyor bearings (heat = failing soon)

  3. Ladles (uneven heating risks cracks)

Why This Beats Old Methods:
Old way:
✖ Shut down for inspections
✖ Guess based on experience

New way with thermal imaging small tech:
✓ Scan during operation
✓ See exact trouble spots

Cost-Saving Proof:
A mill using infrared cameras thermal imaging reduced bearing failures by 70% in one year.

Smart Buying Advice:
When comparing infrared imaging camera price, ensure it can handle:
→ High dust environments
→ Vibrations from heavy machinery
→ Extreme temperatures
