129RL - water cooled camera housing high-temperature

The cooled camera for all situations

Specially designed for extreme thermal environments, up to 400°C ambient, achieve high-performance and durable vision for monitoring your industrial processes.

We offer the possibility of obtaining a complete turnkey camera or only the cooled housing to place your own camera.

Manufactured in high-resistance 316L stainless steel and available with various technical viewports, including Germanium for thermal and radiometric cameras.

Control and prevent incidents in furnaces for optimal operability

Monitor in real-time the heating of steel or aluminum metal, cement, plastics, and increase efficiency.

A defect on a part, an incident, or an accident is immediately detected, allowing you to act proactively to avoid wasting time and managing costly delays or repairs.

Foundries and Metallurgy

Monitoring of sensitive molten metal pouring zones. The 316L stainless steel housing resists splashes and intense radiant heat for secure monitoring of casting operations. Our optional anti-infrared filters protect electronics and optics from radiation.

Video control for industrial furnaces

Whether in the food industry, ceramics, or thermal treatment, installing a camera inside or at the furnace entrance allows precise control of the firing process and immediate detection of anomalies.

Iron and Steel Industry

Real-time inspection of shaping, rolling, and transport operations of glowing steel. The air barrier integrated into the housing is vital here to clear scale and metallic dust from the viewport. Radiated IR temperature is also controlled thanks to our optional special glasses.

Blast Furnaces and Incinerators

Monitoring of burners, refractory walls, and loading levels. Our dedicated Germanium glass housings allow the use of thermal cameras to map hot spots through flames.

Glassworks and Cement Plants

Monitoring of glass melting zones or clinker lines where ambient temperatures make the use of standard electronic equipment impossible without active cooling (water or air).

Why use a cooled camera?

Most standard surveillance cameras are designed to operate within a temperature range of -10°C to +50°C. As soon as this upper limit is reached, electronic components and the image sensor undergo irreversible thermal stress. Without adequate protection, the camera fails or its lifespan is drastically reduced.

It is then imperative to:

• Regulate internal temperature: Thanks to its double-wall structure in 316L Stainless Steel, the shell allows a fluid circulation of tempered water or refrigerated air. This system maintains a stable ambient temperature around the electronics, even when the external temperature reaches 400°C.

• Ensure monitoring continuity: In foundry or industrial firing processes, the stoppage of video surveillance can lead to manufacturing defects or safety risks. Active cooling guarantees a constant image without interruption due to overheating.

• Adapt standard equipment to extreme conditions: You can use a conventional camera (visible or thermal) in areas where its installation would normally be impossible.

• Maintain vision clarity: In addition to thermal protection, the use of the air barrier on the front face prevents dust, grease, and smoke deposits on the viewport. This maintains perfect visibility of your processes without frequent manual cleaning interventions.

• Expert advice: For optimal performance at 400°C, we recommend a water supply at 20°C with a maximum pressure of 4 bars. Our teams assist you in choosing the configuration, such as borosilicate glass, zinc selenide ZnSe, or germanium viewports for an optical, thermal, or bi-spectral camera.
