Application Container Ware
Although there are extensive operation controls in the container ware furnaces, the picture of the firing chamber camera gives numerous information’s about the condition of the glass batch and the bubble adjustment.With the evaluation of quick-motion –known as time-lapse study- the glass batch fusion can be monitored exactly and steered correspondingly. The position of the flame can be optimised, so that the consumption of the combustion material is undermined and damages of the refractory material are avoidable.

 


 

In the container ware industry which is equipped with our products the following areas
are monitored from the control room:
• supply of the raw material
• glass batch tower
• burner courses
• furnace
• conveying belt
• loading place

For monitoring of the firing chamber our probe housing is equipped with a diameter of 60 mm.
Many objectives and camera types are available.
The probe housing is fabricated of steel or alloyed special steel depending on stress and
furnace fire, and it is surfaced with special high resistant plastic coating in order to protect
clings on the outside.
Features of the probe: low consumption of cooling water, high stability.
The probe can be mounted in a fixed or mobile position and it also can be equipped with
an automatical retraction device.
For the system concept different capacities are available.
The standard version includes camera, objective and cooling water jacket, retraction device,
monitoring of the cooling systems, control unit, all necessary cables, connectors and tubes.
This system gives the important advantage that in case of loss of cooling supplies or excess
temperature the furnace probe housing is retracting automatically, i.e. the probe is protected
from damages.

 


 

High Speed Systems:
With the electronic shot of a high speed system –which usually is too fast for the
human eye- the production process can be visualized by replay in extreme slow-motion.
Defects can be monitored exactly (glass dropping machine).

Services:
• Thermo vision (heat picture) for recognition of hotspots on the siege of the furnace
• The roofs and the feeder
• High-resolution photographic picture of the interior space of the furnace
• Video inspection of the furnace and feeder
