Flame Retardant Plant Prevents Drop in Product Quality Due to Faulty Temperature Indicator
Problem
A faulty temperature indicator led to non-uniform furnace temperatures
How SAM GUARD® Helped
- SAM GUARD detected a problem with the temperature in a furnace, but no other abnormal findings related to the furnace
- The plant team investigated and discovered that one of the temperature indicators was broken
- They replaced the damaged indicator
Value
- Without an accurate temperature indicator, the bottom dryer temperature of the furnace rose dramatically
- This led to non-uniform furnace temperatures, which in turn affected product quality
- Replacing the temperature indicator helped maintain high product quality and prevent wasted batches
