RKS300 monitors the temperature in the furnace surface, providing real-time inspection of the entire furnace shell. It integrates hardware and software as a solution, allowing the detection and measurement of all hot spots in the furnace shell, even at an early stage.

With real-time inspection at the highest resolution, the main objective of the RKS300 system is to ensure the safety and durability of the furnace shell surface, optimize furnace shell efficiency and reduce maintenance costs due to damage or unscheduled shutdowns.
In order to withstand the harshest environments, the RKS300 thermal imaging system features stainless steel enclosures that withstand the harshest conditions thanks to its air purge system and an internal temperature control device. Thanks to this, our
thermal imaging system remains clean and at a constant ambient temperature.

The RKS300 software incorporates:

Monitoring of tire slip displacement – Furnace view
- Automatic fan control: Prevents furnace shell deformation by automatically controlling the actuation of up to 16 fan zones through independent
activation signals - Tire Slip displacement: It monitors the relative displacement or desynchronization of up to 6 slip rings with respect to the furnace shell.
- Shadow monitoring: Monitors up to 8 shadow zones by integrating pyrometers designed to withstand high temperatures.
- Integration: OPC communication between RKS300 and plant control system.
- Optimizes furnace maintenance
- Detection and measurement of all hot spots due to refractory deterioration
- Extends refractory and furnace service life
- Reduction of unscheduled shutdowns and maintenance costs
- Real-time thermographic video monitoring of the furnace exterior as opposed to traditional scanner-based systems.
- Easy integration and communication of all data to the plant control system
- Pre-wiring and pre-testing for easy installation
- Technical assistance and training during start-up commissioning
