Fibre optic signal transmission ensures error-free communications in harsh environments. Centurion TK50 is designed to operate reliably and accurately at wide ambient temperature ranges with a high performance thermo-electrically cooled Mercury Cadmium Telluride (MCT) single element detector for optimum sensitivity, accuracy and ruggedness.
Within Centurion TK50, advanced control circuitry continuously monitors and optimises detector performance. This ensures maximum dynamic range and low NETD in continually changing ambient operating conditions. Two internal calibrated blackbody temperature references are scanned on every revolution to ensure the highest system temperature measurement accuracy.
The new modular design of Centurion TK50 improves long term system accuracy, allows rapid servicing and component replacement, without the requirement for re-calibration minimising instrument down-time and cost. Centurion TK50 features a new custom designed ZnSe diamond turned aspheric optic for improved image sharpness, detail and depth of field over a wide field of view. |
Because cement kiln shell scanners are situated in elevated exposed positions, running campaign after campaign, they can be vulnerable to lightning strikes. Centurion TK50 has been designed with extensive opto-isolation in all elements of the system to minimise power surges and strikes.
With a configurable field of view, custom aligned for every kiln, 2048 digital, linear measurements at 30Hz, Centurion TK50 scans every brick in every ring of the fastest, newest kiln, to ensure kiln integrity from light-up to shutdown. Coating and refractory performance are also continually checked throughout the campaign with hot spot tracking and coating loss reports available. |

Centurion TK50 works with powerful award-winning market leading WinCem Graphic Professional. This software represents the most exciting development in rotary kiln shell scanning information in years... |
Based on client-server technology, WinCem Graphic Professional provides unrivalled flexibility in the display of multiple kiln data on any PC monitor within your plant network. Below is just an overview of a few of the features of WinCem Graphic Professional Software.

3D Coating / Brick thickness display
The unique WinCem® 3D software technology “peels away” the kiln in layers to show what you really need to see: shell and refractory temperatures, brick wear and coating thickness from any viewpoint or angle. |
|
|
Dynamic, multi-region trending
WinCem Graphic Professional temperature trending is an integral feature of the user interface. Users can select spot, line or area tools on the kiln shell, and trend temperatures from historical, live or combined historical and live data, to evaluate how a given situation developed and understand how to improve your kiln's performance |
|
|
“VCR” style historical playback
When operating modern high capacity kilns, faults in refractory condition or coating can develop over long periods of time. WinCem 3D offers a unique “VCR” style of interface which allows the user to simply “turn back time” and view a full screen dynamic display of kiln surface temperature or changes due to coating formation over time. |
|
|
Dense Cement Plants and Buildings
For covered kilns where there are roof supports, pillars or obstacles in the line of sight between scanner and kiln, two or more Centurions can be connected to the WinCem software for elimination of shadows and obstructions. Pyrometers can also be incorporated into the system for small and awkward areas. |
|
|
Worst Case temperature tracking
The WinCem history manager tracks the hottest temperatures occurring at every point on the kiln shell from light-up to shut-down. This data is kept in an industry standard SQL Server database on the WinCem or plant server computer for ease of access, integrity and availability for automatic security backup. |
