AMETEK Land will showcase its in-furnace thermal imaging Near Infrared Borescope (NIR-B) Glass at the ESG conference
AMETEK Land, one of the world’s leading glass industry temperature measurement specialists, will showcase its award-winning, real-time, in-furnace thermal imaging Near Infrared Borescope (NIR-B) Glass at the European Society of Glass (ESG) Conference, 8-13 July, at Le Grand Large Convention Centre, in Saint-Malo, France.
“Optimising temperatures in glass melt tanks is an essential part of maintaining high-quality glass production and extending the campaign life of the furnace. Infrared temperature measurement can help to improve efficiency and optimise quality within glass production, and the award-winning, best-in-class Near Infrared Borescope (NIR-B) is simply the best instrument for the job. We look forward to demonstrating this latest technology to delegates at the European Society of Glass conference,” explains Philippe Kerbois, Regional Sales Manager - Glass at AMETEK Land.
“Within the glass-melt furnace, there are a variety of temperature measurements that can be taken in different locations. It is important to be able to trend temperature measurements throughout the furnace, such as the crown and port arch areas. The temperature of the melt line and the batch transit time need to be recorded and used for comparison, along with temperature “visualizations” of cold spots in the refractory wall, which can be indicative of air leaks typically caused by structural issues.”
Temperature measurement at critical locations in the production process is essential in gl...
