Thermal Imaging for Manufacturing Industries

Mechanical Equipment

Some examples of mechanical equipment where thermography is used:

• Pumps (overheated connections, fuse problems, overloaded electrical cables etc)

• Process valves (open, closed, leakage)

• Storage tanks (sludge levels)

• Pipelines (check if and where there are anomalies, for example locate build up of scale etc)

• Motors (overheating bearings, misalignment, overheated windings)

• Conveyor belts (overheated bearings)

• Furnace inspections (with a special camera designed to "see through flames" for high temperature industrial furnace applications, ideal for monitoring all types of furnaces, heaters and boilers.)

Electrical Equipment

Some examples of electrical equipment where thermography is used:

• Primary power source (i.e. outdoor high voltage switchyard

• Switchgear

• Transformers

• Low voltage installationsi.e. breaker panels, faulty electrical outlets/wall sockets

• Fuse panels

• Motor control centers (MCC)

•Electrical cabinets

To get even more out of your camera investment, you can use your infrared camera to audit energy efficiency of your plant environment, including roofing, heating and cooling systems, and building structures.
