About this industry
A cement or lime kiln runs hot, dusty, and never stops — the shell rotates through hot spots that eat refractory, the burning zone has to be read through flame and combustion gas, and the hydraulics that feed the line sit in classified areas. Prater Technical Partners supplies the kiln instrument layer from Fluke Process Instruments: the CS400 kiln-shell system on the MP line scanner for hot-spot and refractory monitoring, Endurance Ratio pyrometers that read burning-zone temperature through combustion gas, and ThermoView TV30 imaging for exterior-shell monitoring on lime kilns — plus Flo-tech F5162 hydraulic pickups for concrete-production hydraulics in classified areas. Prater Technical works with you to spec each one from the target, the temperature range, and the area classification.
