Dual camera system for spray dryer monitoring
Enhance safety and operational efficiency in your drying process by combining visual and thermal monitoring to detect potential hazards such as nozzle blockages and temperature anomalies before they escalate.
Monitors and Detects Thermal Anomalies in Spray Nozzles
The SPRAYEYE® Dual Camera by GEA integrates visual and infrared surveillance to offer comprehensive monitoring for critical drying applications such as pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals. It utilizes a dual-camera system that combines conventional video with patented IR technology, providing detailed surveillance of spray nozzle operations. This system excels in preventing fires by detecting and highlighting temperature variations that indicate product build-up or smoldering, triggering alarms for timely intervention. Ideal for continuous and automatic operations, SPRAYEYE® enhances safety by logging data and interfacing with SCADA systems for integrated management. The equipment is designed for high temperature settings and offers reliable, low-maintenance operation, ensuring reduced operator intervention and heightened risk management. Optional configurations enable tailoring to specific process requirements, supporting a range of industries from dairy to marine additives, while meeting rigorous environmental and operational standards.
