KILNSCANHIGH RESOLUTION INFRARED SCANNER
Real-time, 24/7 monitoring of the temperature of the rotary kiln shell using Kilnscan infrared scanner allows to instantly display information about the status of the refractory lining and internal coating. It also provides valuable data about energy losses and various stresses in the kiln shell. Kilnscan contributes to optimizing kiln efficiency and availability, increasing production rate, reducing operating costs, improving the burning process and saving energy
With the best spatial and thermal resolution, Kilnscan infrared scanner monitors refractory bricks over the whole length of the kiln. It tracks hot spots, tyre slip, rings formation, brick failures, thermal warp and more, to prevent short- and longer-term damages. With more than 1,300 units operating around the world, HGH thermal scanners are used in plants to warn of potential failures and trigger preventive actions.

Kilnscan Software : a Comprehensive Toolbox
Using exclusive algorithms, Kilnscan software benefits from experience accumulated over years to process high-quality measurements from the scanner head and make all relevant information available at a glance on displays in control rooms or on maintenance workstations. Data can be transmitted to process control systems through plant networks, and recorded locally or remotely for further analysis over long durations. Main features of Kilnscan software include:
- Complete, user-configurable and intuitive HMI
- Synchronized and flexible 2D or 3D real-time thermal view of the whole kiln and of specific areas
- Min/max/avg temperature profiles along the kiln, with comparison with user-defined reference profiles
- User-defined alarm sections with high- and low-temperature independent thresholds, and temperature trend thresholds
- Monitoring of tyre slip and warning on critical values
- Real-time calculation and display of thermal warp, indicating imbalance and stresses induced in the structure of the installation
- Estimation of remaining brick thickness and coating thickness at any point along the kiln, management of refractories
- Calculation of radiative & convective heat loss
- Various interfaces (OPC, 4-20mA, dry contact outputs) for coupling to plant systems, automatic fan control…
- Recording and display of trends over long durations
- Viewer mode to replay sequences and access scanner functions for a posteriori event analysis
- Automatic or triggered export and recording of data and thermal views
