The Lenox Glass Melter Furnace Camera System is designed to withstand the temperatures and environment of a glass melting furnace and is normally installed high on the centerline of the furnace bridgewall viewing at a slight downward angle toward the batch charging end. The typical system consists of a 42 inch (106.7 cm) water / air cooled camera, automatic retraction assembly, retraction controls, pedestal mount, power supply, LCD monitor and digital video recorder.
The camera’s enclosure inserts into a 3.5 inch (89 mm) bridgewall opening and employs a triple wall laminar flow for efficient water-cooling and the latest optical lens technology to provide clear, real time images, enabling operation in hostile environments up to 4250ºF (2345ºC). The pedestal mounted retraction system withdraws the camera in the event of power, water or air loss.
Lenox Glass Melter Furnace Camera Systems are widely used in the glass industry to optimize burner flame geometry, monitor melter material mix, batch pile and formation patterns, melting point, bubbler operation, and melting furnace refractory wear.
