Kilnscan is a high-performance thermal scanner dedicated to real-time, 7/24 temperature monitoring of the oven shell. It displays the entire temperature profile of the furnace and gives early warning of hot spots that indicate refractory failure.
Featuring the industry's highest scanning angle of up to 140°, the Kilnscan adapts to any kiln configuration: long mantle with limited free space around, kilns with multiple shadows cast by poles, etc.
Thanks to advanced features such as unique thermal warp calculation and historical data management (trend), Kilnscan provides the operator with the full picture of the rotary kiln in real time to provide a predictive maintenance schedule.
Kilnscan infrared scanner contributes to optimizing furnace efficiency and availability, increasing production rate, reducing operating costs, improving the firing process and saving energy.
Mantle scanner with highest spatial resolution, smaller than average refractory brick size
Unique Thermal Warp calculation and historical data management
Unique scanning angle from 90° to 140°
High-performance diagnostic system for continuous temperature monitoring of the oven shell
With the best spatial and thermal resolution, Kilnscan tracks each refractory brick along the entire length of the kiln. Monitors hot spots, tire slippage, ring formation, brick failures, thermal warping and more to prevent short- and long-term damage. Kilnscan is a rugged system designed for harsh environments. Operating with more than 1.300 units worldwide, HGH thermal scanners are used in facilities to warn of potential malfunctions and trigger preventive actions.
