How Small Thermal Cameras Prevent Kiln Disasters?Why Every Plant Needs This Technology

Article NEWS 476

The Problem:
Rotary kilns can develop invisible hot spots that lead to:
✔ Sudden shutdowns costing $50,000+ per day
✔ Dangerous refractory explosions
✔ Wasted energy from uneven heating

How Thermal Imaging Small Devices Help:
These handheld tools act like "heat stethoscopes" for kilns:

  • Spot trouble areas in 10 us from safe distances

  • Create color-coded heat maps (blue=cool, red=hot)

  • Save months of downtime by catching issues early

Real-World Example:
A cement plant using infrared cameras thermal imaging found a hidden hot spot that could have caused a 3-week shutdown. The fix took 2 days.

What Matters Most When Choosing Equipment:
While infrared imaging camera price varies, look for:
→ Minimum 320x240 pixel resolution
→ Ability to measure up to 1500°F (815°C)
→ Easy-to-use analysis software
