Coolscan: Grate Cooler Scanner For The Cement Industry

Real time recording of clinker temperature over the whole surface area of the grate provides further possibilities for cooler optimisation such as the control strategy - which in turn affects the whole burning process. The cooling air flow is minimised, heat recovery and clinker cooling improved, thereby resulting in better clinker quality, less specific heat consumption, increased production and extended cooler plate lifetime. COOLSCAN is an infrared scanner which provides real time thermal imaging to identify temperature non-uniformity and to manage process problems such as product avalanche or red rivers. It can operate as a stand alone instrument or act as an interface for cooler chamber air flow adjustment and process control.
