Thermography at the heart of cement production lines

Thermography imaging systems, including Kiln Shell Scanners and Kiln/Cooler Cameras, are more and more used to monitor the temperature of areas which are critical for the safety and the quality of the cement manufacturing process. To provide efficient support to plant operators and control systems, these sensors need to offer a complete toolbox to measure, display and process data, and to interface with other controls systems in the plant. Being among the pioneers of infrared applications more than 30 years ago, HGH has since then kept its products at the forefront of the technologies; they meet the needs of the Cement Industry in terms of quality of measurement, relevance of functions and information provided, flexibility of use and robustness of hardware. KILNSCAN scanners and PYROSCAN cameras support the evolution of the industry towards enhanced digital control of plants.
