Thermal Imaging for Manufacturing Companies
Costly failures, unscheduled downtime & production loss can be critical situations for manufacturing companies & utilities. A permanent & reliable solution for preventing such critical conditions is thermal imaging.
Thermal Imaging or Infrared Thermography Service is used by numerous utilities, manufacturing companies & refineries for detecting problem areas & hot spots that can lead to electrical fires & production downtime. IR imaging is an extremely useful tool for maintenance experts. This is because the IR cameras provide accurate images of the complete electrical power supply system & countless production components & equipments that help in the optimization of the overall production process.
Thermography for Manufacturing Companies
Thermography technique can be applied for inspecting a wide range of mechanical & electrical equipments. Mechanical equipments where thermal imaging can be applied include:
- Storage Tanks: For checking the sludge level
- Conveyor Belts: For inspecting overheated bearings
- Pumps: Helps in checking fuse problems, overheated connections, overloaded electrical cables, etc
- Motors: Thermography helps check misalignments, overheated bearings & windings, etc
- Process Valves: Keeps a check on whether the valves are open or closed or if there is presence of leakage of any sort
- Pipelines: Thermal images help in locating areas with temperature anomalies if any
- Furnace: Extremely useful in industries with high temperature furnace, boiler & heater applications
Thermography technique can also be applied to countless electrical equipment like Fuse Panels, Transformers, Electrical Cabinets, Switchgear, Motor Control Centers, Beaker Panels, Wall Sockets, etc.
