With the Digital Furnace TV Camera, the customer can expand its control of the glass melting process by means of visualisation. The camera is mounted in a water-cooled housing and the front section of the probe jacket is resistant to temperatures around 1800 °C. The different possible viewing angles of 70° / 82° / 94° / 110° enable monitoring most of the furnace. The compressed air and the cooling water are controlled through a utility cabinet. Together with its automatic retraction system, the system is guaranteed to withstand the operating location’s high temperatures and special requirements. The camera system facilitates a purposive optimisation because of the monitoring of flame conditions, the combustion, batch pile travel and damage to refractories, etc. HORN^® offers two models: a digital and an infrared camera.

The digital model delivers its records in full HD, thus allowing the customer to determine and repair defects more precisely.
