Infrared temperature monitoring for improved safety
Combining digital visual spray nozzle monitoring with patented infrared (IR) thermal surveillance, the unique SPRAYEYE® Dual camera system automatically detects potentially dangerous product build-ups and lets operators know exactly when and where action may be needed.
SPRAYEYE® Dual integrates a conventional visual video stream with GEA IR camera technology (patented). The conventional view is used by operators to monitor spray dispersal, identify nozzle leaks and detect product build-up on the spray nozzles; the infrared (IR) camera provides a thermal image of the nozzles’ temperature and continuously monitors the temperature and heat variation on each spray nozzle to automatically detect and highlight product build-ups that begin to smolder.
By combining these two complementary technologies, the SPRAYEYE® Dual early warning system helps to prevent fires and explosions in the dryer by detecting hazardous temperature increases and hot spots before they become a problem.
Most fires result from unnoticed temperature changes in the drying chamber. SPRAYEYE® Dual identifies and draws attention to high temperatures in the following ways:
SPRAYEYE® Dual temperature scanning technology (patented) delivers the following benefits:
The SPRAYEYE® Dual provides both visual and thermal surveillance in one device. The system raises a prewarning alarm before abnormal carbon monoxide levels can be detected; it indicates the exact position, temperature and size of the problem to help operators react effectively.
The integrated management of alarm levels, definition of areas for automatic monitoring, camera protection systems and simple calibration helps to ensure a higher level of risk management.
The SPRAYEYE® Dual enables operation with increased inlet air temperature at less risk, and some customers have been able to retain their standard operating conditions when moving to a more flammable recipe.
