High-Temperature Camera System for Monitoring Glass Melting Furnaces

Trevose, PA, – Lenox Instrument Company’s new Glass Melter Furnace Camera System is designed to withstand the temperatures and environment of a glass melting furnace. Normally installed high on the centerline of the furnace bridgewall, viewing at a slight downward angle toward the batch charging end, the system is used to safely view and optimize burner flame geometry, monitor material mix, batch pile, formation patterns, melting point, bubbler operation, molten glass surface and refractory wear/condition.

A Glass Melter Furnace Camera System consists of a 42 inch (106.7 cm) water / air cooled camera, automatic retraction assembly, retraction controls, pedestal mount, power supply, air filter system, LCD monitor and digital video recorder. The CCD color camera’s housing inserts into a 3.5 inch (89 mm) opening and employs a triple wall laminar flow for efficient water cooling and the latest optical lens technology with integral air-purging, enabling operation up to 4250°F (2345°C). The pedestal mounted automatic retraction system withdraws the camera in the event of power, water or air loss preventing possible over-temperature damage to the camera and housing.
 
Each Lenox Glass Melter Furnace Camera System is designed, manufactured and serviced in-house by Lenox Instrument, and is backed by an industry-leading two-year warranty.
