Trace defects through Steam with Procemex Infrared Camera Technology

Procemex Infrared Thermal Smart Cameras provide visibility in paper mill areas where traditional web monitoring cameras may be limited, especially in steam or low-light conditions. By detecting heat instead of visible light, IR cameras reveal temperature and moisture-related variations on the running web, helping operators trace defects, identify process disturbances, and improve process control. Procemex IR Cameras complement traditional WMS cameras by adding real-time thermal insight to the overall web monitoring system.

Reveal the Moisture and Dry Weight Profile issues

The fast high definition Flex Infrared Smart Camera detects and visualizes deviations in moisture profile in a continuous full-width view and provides constant online real-time feedback. The camera shows consistent, high resolution imaging of cross direction and machine direction moisture variations in the sheet, from wet end to the reel and everything in between.

Flex Infrared is a new tool for enhanced troubleshooting in the the paper making process with real-time thermal imaging of:

  • Moisture Profile
  • Paper Edge Profiles
  • Dry Weight Profile
  • Fabrics Analysis
  • Roll Temperature Analysis
  • Dryer Cylinder Temperature Analysis
  • Yankee Temperature Analysis

Infrared Thermal Cameras can be easily integrated with Procemex OnePlatform System. Flex IR camera is also available as a standalone solution.
