Dual camera system for spray dryer monitoring
In spray drying operations, undetected temperature spikes and product build-up on spray nozzles can lead to severe safety risks, including fires and explosions. Ensuring constant and precise monitoring of these conditions is critical for maintaining operational safety.
Monitor spray nozzle temperature and build-up
The SPRAYEYE® Dual Camera by GEA integrates traditional visual surveillance with patented infrared thermal monitoring to enhance safety and control in spray drying processes. Conventional video streams allow operators to monitor spray dispersal, nozzle leaks, and product build-up. Simultaneously, the infrared camera provides continuous temperature data, automatically detecting and highlighting hot spots that signal potential fire hazards. The system alerts operators to abnormal temperature increases through visual signals and alarms, which can be linked to SCADA systems for instant notifications. This early warning system offers operators adequate time to mitigate problems before they escalate. Suitable for operations involving higher temperatures, the technology reduces the risk associated with increased inlet air temperature and supports handling more flammable recipes safely. With minimal maintenance needs and high reliability, the SPRAYEYE® Dual Camera is ideal for continuous surveillance in industries where safety and precision are paramount.
