Monitoring system for rotary kilns

Raytek’s new CS210 system for non-contact temperature measurement and monitoring of rotary kiln shells integrates up to four infrared line scanners for monitoring long and difficult-to-access kilns.

Additionally, point sensors cover shadow areas, for instance
behind tyres. Designed for rotary kilns exclusively, the software compiles all data to a complete thermal
image. The upgrade also enables a real-time display of a 3D thermal image of the kiln surface, making
refractory monitoring user-friendly.

Damaged and fallen bricks are quickly located. The system provides a one-brick resolution and
sends failsafe hotspot alarms. A Refractory Management database helps determine when best to replace the
refractory. All oven-related and operational data, information about the refractory material, and maintenance
dates can be easily managed and documented with a user history.

A separate sensor monitoring the burning
zone can also be integrated and managed via the software.
