Case Studies

Steel Mill Temperature Control

A steel mill in Ohio uses our infrared pyrometers on its continuous casting line. The system ensures accurate temperature monitoring across billets and slabs, minimizing product rejects and increasing yield by 15%. Real-time alerts help operators make faster adjustments, improving overall efficiency.

Food Processing Plant Safety Compliance

A frozen food processing company in Illinois implemented our pyrometers to maintain consistent cooking and freezing temperatures. The non-contact measurement enabled hygiene compliance, while integrated alarms helped ensure every batch met safety standards.

Glass Manufacturing Optimization

A flat glass producer in Quebec upgraded its float line with THERMAL INFRARED DEVICES’s advanced two-color pyrometers. These systems provided accurate readings on reflective surfaces, improving furnace control and reducing energy usage by 22%. The result was improved uniformity and reduced breakage rates.
