What is ProTIR?
An advanced industrial thermography system
ProTIR® is a thermal vision solution based on high-resolution radiometric infrared cameras and specialised software, developed for accurate temperature monitoring in industrial thermal processes.
High-precision real-time thermal capture
The system generates real-time radiometric images with a resolution of 764 × 480 pixels, providing up to 367,000 measurement points per image and a wide 86º field of view for detailed inspection.
Designed for extreme conditions
ProTIR is built to monitor processes in extreme conditions, with the ability to measure temperatures of up to 2,200 °C. Its design ensures continuous and reliable thermal supervision even in the most demanding industrial environments.
24/7 thermal supervision and automated alerts
ProTIR® includes advanced software that analyses thermographic data in real time and generates configurable alarms, enabling constant supervision from the control room.
Thermal risks
Why is thermal control critical in industrial furnaces?
Without continuous monitoring, thermal inefficiencies remain hidden until a catastrophic failure occurs.
Invisible Hot Spots
Undetected temperature anomalies lead to material degradation and safety risks.
Structural Wear
Thermal stress causes premature failure of the refractory lining and furnace components.
Energy Loss
Inefficient heat distribution increases energy consumption and operating costs.
Unplanned Shutdowns
Unexpected failures result in costly production interruptions and emergency repairs.

Problem
Undetected Refractory Degradation
A 4.5 m diameter rotary kiln was experiencing recurring hot spots causing shell deformation. Manual inspections during shutdowns failed to detect thermal anomalies developing between maintenance cycles.
Solution
ProTIR® Continuous Monitoring System
The ProTIR® thermal imaging system was installed with 360° kiln coverage, real-time temperature mapping and integration with the plant SCADA. Automated alerts were configured for temperature deviations of more than 50°C above the baseline.
