CS200 | CS200

Specifically designed for kiln monitoring, the CS200E thermal imaging system is a fully integrated solution that monitors rotary kilns to detect hot spots and avoid costly damage and unscheduled downtime. Optional, yet fully integrated, accessories extend the capability to include shadow sensing, burning zone monitoring, tire slip and fan control.

Kiln shell temperatures are monitored along the entire length of the kiln providing an essential indication of the health of the refractory material.

Temperature data for areas “shadowed” from the main sensor can be provided by individual point sensors and seamlessly integrated into one complete thermal image. Optional burning zone and tire slip monitoring can be integrated into the thermal imaging system so that all information is displayed on one screen in the control room and all events are permanently linked in an extremely versatile historical data database.

To insure reliable operation in even the harshest kiln environments, the MP150 line scanner, which is used in the CS200E thermal imaging system, is designed with a rugged cast aluminum housing and mounted in a robust stainless steel Environmental Enclosure. The Environmental Enclosure includes an adjustable mounting bracket to aim the scanner along the kiln axis, a mounting rail permitting fast scanner installation, quick-disconnect fittings for air purge and water cooling and an easily replaced viewing window.
