As the old saying goes, "a penny saved is a penny earned." In recent years, the idea of infrared thermography and vibration analysis has been introduced to more and more industries with this purpose in mind. Pepper Maintenance Industries, Inc. has brought infrared thermography to grain, fertilizer, feed and processing industries. The objective is to develop cost effective programs that save clients money and minimize downtime. Motors, bearings, shafts, and electrical components give off heat. Pepper surveys seek out heat patterns and temperature differentials. Comparing phase-to-phase temperatures or heat patterns and bearing-to-bearing temperatures or heat patterns is vital to interpreting problems and recommending solutions. How does Pepper's survey address these problems and solutions? read more |
The application of Infrared technology as we know it, within the industrial sectors of the US and Canada, has been in place for quite some time. Much of the free world has also been involved in its rise and development. Most likely the application of the technology dates back to just after the Second World War when the splitting of the atom was achieved. These atomic researchers in physics were able to develop infrared technology in much the same way as one avenue helped develop the other. The more crudely developed understandings of the infrared spectrum date back much further as the atomic age began to emerge over 100 years ago. Its rudimentary forms have been around for centuries in theory. The current level of development has just been refined, but the science remains the same. read more |
