Real-time spray nozzle monitoring for quality control
SPRAYEYE® Visual Digital
Optimize the performance of your spray dryers with unprecedented accuracy and control
With two nozzles monitored per camera, SPRAYEYE® Visual Digital offers continuous visual quality control, the rapid identification of product accumulation, an instant leak check and monitors both spray dispersal and the return flow of fines.
The camera is cooled and kept clean by “razor” cooling air from the air disperser combined with an internal flow of compressed air. Further benefits include:
• simple user-friendly software for visualization.
• a high-temperature alarm and automated shutdown.
• a food-grade, shatterproof PSU polymer window.
Although the protection window in the camera is CIP resistent, we recommend that it’s removed during clean-in-place (CIP) procedures to prolong its lifetime.
Safety
With operator well-being a key concern, the identification of any abnormalities is paramount. SPRAYEYE® Visual Digital enables corrective actions to be made possible as quickly as possible, to reduce leakages and unwanted waste. Real-time monitoring optimizes start-up and shutdown procedures and the system is designed for rapid water-to-product changeovers.
Advantages at a glance
Keeping quality in mind, SPRAYEYE® Visual Digital cameras deliver a wide range of benefits to manually monitor your spray drying chamber:
- real-time, continuous pictures of the spray zone
- quick identification of product build-up and inconsistent spray patterns
- monitoring of start-up and shutdown problems to reduce chamber maintenance
- decreased risk of dangerous temperature fluctuations
- non-glass PSU polymer camera protection window for image clarity
- digital camera technology enabling access to video feeds from any PC in the control room
- simple user-friendly software with automatic scheduled recording
The family of SPRAYEYE® cameras uses two types of camera technologies to cover all angles – visual monitoring for quality control and infrared temperature scanning (SPRAYEYE® IR) for safety. Both have their distinct advantages but are best used in combination for optimum effectiveness, reliability and results.
