"Since our IR camera installation, my visibility problems have almost been eliminated. I used to have constant problems being able to see the infeed chute and material going into the mill. These problems were caused by steam and lack of lighting. The camera eliminated the problems with steam by allowing me to see through it, and day or nighttime running has no effect on the picture. This allows me to maintain a more constant feed rate and to know exactly what I am feeding into the mill at all times, reducing the chance of a jam."

"The benefits from our IR camera installation were obvious right from the start. We noticed our motor operating efficiency went up the first few days, which allows us to maintain a more stable thermal motor temperature. We also noticed a slight increase in output tonnage. The largest return from the camera has been the reduction of downtime. This downtime was the result of the motor being stalled because the operator could not see the material being fed into the mill. One such occurrence cost us over 7 hours of downtime clearing the mill and preparing to restart. The camera paid for itself in a matter of weeks."
