Features & Benefits
In metal shredding operations, smoke, fog, steam and darkness can make it impossible for workers to visually monitor intake chutes, milling and conveyor systems and grinders. As a result, these systems can become clogged, leading to equipment damage and costly halts in production. At night, artificial lighting can create reflections and cast shadows, further compromising ordinary vision.
Schnitzer’s Shreddervision, a breakthrough in infrared camera design and performance, can solve all these problems and is ideal for scrap metal processing environment. Infrared cameras operate inside the infrared "heat," or thermal spectrum, and can see through smoke, fog, steam, or darkness where the human eye cannot. By seeing in the infrared industrial workers can eliminate a wide range of problems that can slow or shut down production as well as enhance operational safety. Shreddervision can also enable nighttime operators to see clearly through the darkness and keep production safely on-line.
We invite you to take advantage of this effective and affordable technology in your operations today. You'll be amazed at the improvements to productivity and worker safety you will achieve with Shreddervision.

See What You’re Missing
A) In this application, the infeed chute supplies large scrap metal components to a grinding mill. Steam, darkness and sometimes fog previously prevented the operator from seeing and controlling the intake stream, causing jamming of the machine and frequent production shutdowns.
B) The infrared image provided by Shreddervision allows the operator to see clearly and control the supply rate to maintain consistent productivity.
C) The infrared image is displayed on a computer monitor in a control tower.
D) The operator can readily monitor the process and make appropriate adjustments on a control board. Without Shreddervision, the operator would have no visibility on his production.
E) Designed to withstand harsh industrial environments, the Shreddervision camera is equipped with a protective steel case.
F) This allows the unit to be positioned just above a high-capacity metal shredder keeping the camera safe from high temperatures, water, metal projectiles and even the occasional explosion.
