ThermaScope® SLK Infrared Camera FunctionsThis infrared radiometric (temperature measuring) camera is a unique rugged

instrument which sends real-time thermal images and unlimited temperature

data from the inside of the kiln or clinker bed to the plant control room. As fuel

flow, operating conditions or fuel quality change, this data gives operators a

clear image and instantaneous temperatures at any point within its field of view.

ThermaScope® SoftwareLabels display the thermal properties within any specified areas of interest and

can also trigger alarms to warn of unwanted temperature extremes and process

variation. Direct external outputs enable interfacing and automated control.

This is a key factor in the efficient and safe operation of a kiln operation and the

ability to accurately monitor the combustion process.

ThermaScope software provides operators advanced analysis with unlimited

simultaneous spot and area of interest measurements, thermal profiles, image

storage, differential temperatures, live and historic data trending, highlights and

much more.

ThermaScope® HTV Infrared CameraThe lower cost ThermaScope HTV (High Temperature Video) provides high

quality images direct to a monitor in the control room allowing plant engineers

to observe movement of clinker through the production process. Depending

on ThermaScope HTV’s installation, this could be monitoring the clinker falling

from the kiln or flowing through the cooler.

ThermaScope® SLK Infrared Camera

● High resolution focal plane array detector

● Water cooled stainless steel protective camera housing

● Automatic, fail-safe pneumatic camera insert/retract mechanism

● Camera interface, signal processing circuitry and services control unit

● Real time infrared digital thermal imaging and temperature measurement

● PC with ThermaScope temperature analysis software

● Direct view with no alignment inaccuracies - simple field maintenance

● Patented calibration for accuracy even in dusty kilns

● Solid state - long term reliability you can depend on

Improve efficiency, increase combustion control and reduce pollution.

ThermaScope cameras are built to withstand the harsh environment

of the cement kiln and provide high quality, reliable and accurate data

from inside the kiln. Requiring minimal maintenance they relay valuable

information from the heart of the clinker-making process, allowing plant

engineers to make informed decisions about their operation.

● Solid-state infrared technology for superior image quality,

temperature measurement, accuracy & outputs for pyro-processing control

● Unmatched reliability with ease-of-use and service

● Powerful software with unlimited spot and area real time measurements

● Temperature versus time and alarm functions
