The thermal camera-based rotary kiln monitoring system RKS300 monitors the kiln shell and provides real-time inspection of the entire kiln length. It integrates hardware and software as a solution, allowing the detection and measurement of all hotspots on the kiln shell, even at an early stage.

With real time inspection at the highest resolution (up to 3.200 measuring points per line), the RKS300 purpose is to ensure proper kiln-shell safety and durability, optimize kiln efficiency and reduces the cost of maintenance due to damage and unscheduled downtime.
To withstand the aggressive environment that surrounds the system in a cement plant, the RKS300 is protected by a rugged protective housing that resists adverse conditions thanks to an air purge and an internal temperature control device. This keeps the thermal camera clean within a constant ambient temperature.
