LAND has launched the AMECare Heat Up Service, a tailored solution designed to support glass melt tank operators during the heating up and cooling down phases of glass furnace operation.
These transitional periods are critical to ensuring long-term furnace reliability and efficiency. Poor control during startup can lead to uneven heating, thermal shock, and stress on high-grade refractory materials, resulting in hidden costs and reduced furnace lifespan.
The AMECare Heat Up Service provides operators with access to LAND’s advanced thermal imaging systems, including the LWIR-640 and MWIR-b-640 cameras, which offer real-time visibility into temperature distribution across the melt tank.
This enables operators to detect cold spots, adjust burner settings for uniform heating, and reduce the risk of refractory damage.
As part of the service, a trained LAND engineer commissions and configures the equipment and provides hands-on training with ImagePro software to ensure users gain maximum benefit from the system.
The AMECare Heat Up Service includes short-term rental (2–3 weeks) of the LWIR-640 and a 3ft MWIR borescope. These instruments can replace the standard NIR-b in existing PAR/LPAR retraction systems or be used with a cooling jacket for temporary installation, eliminating the need for full system procurement.
By improving thermal data gathering and imaging during startup, the AMECare Heat Up Service helps operators reduce downtime, enhance furnace reliability, and make informed decisions during these crucial phases.
