With paper customers demanding higher and higher quality specifications and faster delivery times, paper manufacturing is becoming increasingly demanding and competitive. The unique effectiveness of infrared inspection for predictive maintenance and process monitoring in paper mills has become a central factor in assuring uptime, maximizing productivity, maintaining product quality — and preserving profits.

That's why FLIR infrared cameras are at the core of predictive/preventive maintenance programs in paper mills in the U.S. and around the world. Maintenance professionals in paper mills use FLIR infrared cameras to inspect electrical systems, motors and mechanical equipment, and much more, including liquid levels in boilers and other vessels, heat loss and leakage throughout the plant, kiln walls for refractory breakdown, and steam traps and process lines for blockage. The list goes on: checking lime silo product levels, confirming product levels in railroad cars, material buildup in lime kilns, sludge level in storage tanks, and detecting problems in wet end vacuum pumps used for dewatering pulp.

FLIR offers the world's most advanced infrared thermography cameras to support the condition monitoring infrastructure that keeps paper mills up and running. All FLIR cameras are lightweight and rugged. Interchangeable lenses and a broad line of exclusive accessories can accommodate all of the situations you will encounter.
