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.
The RKS300 system ensures the safety and durability of the furnace shell surface through real-time inspection with the highest resolution. Its main objective is to optimize efficiency and reduce maintenance costs, preventing damage and unplanned shutdowns.
To withstand the most aggressive environments, the RKS300 thermographic system features stainless steel enclosures that provide exceptional protection. Additionally, it includes an air purge system and an internal temperature control device, ensuring stable, clean operation with a constant ambient temperature.

Example diagram of the complete RKS300 system
Monitoring of kiln shell displacements:
- Helps prevent mechanical damage to the refractory and kiln supports due to unwanted stresses by knowing the exact displacement of each shell
- Uses a specifically designed electronic system with high precision in measuring different rotation times
- Real-time data visualization in the RKS300 software
- Uses inductive sensors capable of operating in high-temperature environments
- Allows monitoring of up to 6 shells
Shell details
Shadow zone monitoring:
- If certain elements around the kiln create shadows in the vision of the thermographic cameras, the RKS300 System allows precise monitoring of these shadows
- Uses pyrometers capable of measuring high temperatures (operating range of a rotary kiln)
- Mounting base with air purge
- Temperature data fully integrated into the RKS300 software thermogram, displaying real-time data alongside the thermographic cameras
- Allows monitoring of up to 8 shadow zones
Fan activation control:
Rotary kiln air cooling system
- Prevents kiln wear and deformation by controlling the cooling of the kiln shell.
- Optimizes overall energy consumption by activating fans only when necessary.
- Configurable activation and shutdown temperatures through the RKS300 software.
- Control system housed in an electrical cabinet with a relay board ready for field installation.
- The RKS300 System allows up to 16 fan activation groups.
