Discover the Best Temperature Measurement Solutions for Mineral Processing

As acknowledged leaders in the field of temperature measurement, AMETEK Land supplies the global mineral processing industry with specialist measuring equipment designed to meet the needs of the market.

Our accurate, non-contact solutions deliver key temperature measurements that support control of the process and product quality. They also monitor emissions, and provide essential safety monitoring.

Sixty years of experience serving the mineral processing industry worldwide has given AMETEK Land a wealth of expertise in this sector. This knowledge is reflected in the dedicated product solutions we offer, which deliver high performance while operating reliably in the hot, dusty conditions found in mineral plants.

Improve Cement Quality with the Best Temperature Monitoring Technology

Cement is manufactured through a closely-controlled chemical combination of calcium, silicon, aluminium, iron and other ingredients. Temperature monitoring at key stages is essential to providing this close control.

Monitoring is also important to control emissions, ensure consistent quality, oversee the condition of the kiln, and prevent fire risk from hot spots in the process.

AMETEK Land has more than 70 years’ experience in supplying the cement industry and OEMs across the world with temperature measurement equipment. Our products deliver reliable, high-quality results that help improve efficiency, process control and extend asset life.

Cement and Lime Industry Brochure

Cement and lime manufacturing processes both involve mixing inorganic minerals calcined at high temperatures, typically using rotary kilns. The raw materials may be taken through a number of preheating and precalcining stages before being charged in the rotary kiln.

Temperature Measurements in Cement Manufacture

Temperature monitoring across the manufacturing process is essential to support process efficiency and cement product quality. It can also help to prolong the life of the kiln through early detection of refractory issues or insufficiently quenched clinker, which could lead to production stoppages if left unchecked. Monitoring solutions also support safety and emissions control.

Specific Cement Production Applications

Burning Zone

Monitoring the temperatures within the burning zone is vital for quality and efficiency. We recommend the MWIR-B-640 thermal imager and SPOT R100 thermometer for this application 

Learn More >>

Clinker Chute

Temperature measurements at the chute confirm correct heating in the kiln, and provide information about the clinker cooling rate. The SPOT R100 thermometer is ideal for this application

Learn More >>

Clinker Cooler

It is essential to detect any hot inclusions at the clinker cooler before they reach the conveyor belt and cause a fire risk. Our solution is the HotSpotIR linescanner

Coal Mill

Carbon monoxide build-ups provide the earliest warning of any combustion in coal mills. We recommend the continuous monitoring performance of the specially designed Millwatch for this application

Learn More >>

Coal Storage

Coal stored prior to use in the mill presents a fire risk. Our recommended solution is the LWIR-640 thermal imager, which identifies hot spots in the coal pile
