Heat image inspection for more sustainable steel production  

Our client is one of the world's most geographically diversified steel producers with operations in 26 countries and commercial offices in more than 35 countries. In the Netherlands, they produce steel for demanding markets around the world, including construction and infrastructure, automotive and packaging. Sintered iron ore is required to produce steel. This sintering is a short-term combustion of fine coke with iron ore.

Description case

To ensure that the combustion process is homogeneous and controlled, the heat profile of the sintered iron ore must be measured continuously. Vision Partners designed and implemented a customer-specific camera system for this client. The FLIR A310f thermal imaging camera was chosen. The A310f is an extremely rugged system that meets IP66 requirements and protects the camera from dust and water.

In addition, Vision Partners developed the software that processes the thermal images and sends them to the upstream system. Thanks to this customer-specific turn-key delivered thermal camera system, the customer has better control over the process with higher efficiency and less impact on the environment.

"Vision Partners delivers what we ask for: custom made. That's very important to us because we really want a specific solution."
