Critical Assets Preventative Maintenance: Pre-heat station

Condition based monitoring using thermal imaging cameras is an effective approach to monitor temperature and prevent long term damage to the ladle refractory. The compact IR camera can automatically identify hot spots and generates alarm if temperatures exceeds thresholds. This allows for early detection of potential damage and for selective repairs

Pilger mill in tube rolling mills - hot and cold pipe detection

  • Increased efficiency: Ladle lifetime improvement with early detection allowing for selective repairs as opposed to full lining replacement
  •  Improved safety level: Prevents breakouts and reduces risk of damage to personnel & plant equipment
  • Enabled Preventive Maintenance: Real time system running 365 / 24/ 7 days, with warning of excessive shell temperature from refractory degradation
  • Avoided unscheduled downtime: Avoided costly machinery damage and days to clean-up mess

Challenges

The customer wanted to measure the temperature of the inner surface of the ladle to ensure it is sufficiently heated during the pre-heating process before the hot metal is added.
Overheating can cause long term damage to the ladle refractory and result in high replacement costs.

Solution

Condition based monitoring using thermal imaging cameras is an effective approach to monitor temperature and prevent long term damage.
The compact IR camera can automatically identify hot spots and provides analog or digital output signals.
