DescriptionThe mobile CellaCast PT 180 was specially developed for measuring the temperature of liquid metals. It is used to continuously monitor the temperature of the melt in the casting channel of a blast furnace, cupola furnace or automatic casting machine. Measurement is often only possible from large distances due to plant constraints. The special feature of the CellaCast PT 180 is its high-resolution lens and thus a small measuring field, enabling reliable measurement even from distances up to around 30 m.
Special features- Non-contact and wear-free temperature measurement of the pouring stream from a safe distance
- Measuring range 750 - 2400 °C
- Filtering of the correct infrared radiation of the slag-free and oxide-free melt
- ATD function for fully automatic measured value acquisition
- Two-colour measurement for interference-free measurement in dust and vapour
- Parallax-free through-the-lens sighting with dioptric compensation
- Traffic light display in the through-the-lens sighting to indicate the optimum measuring distance
