The global kiln shell scanner market size reached US$ 22.8 Million in 2023. Looking forward, the market is projected to reach US$ 28.2 Million by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.39% during 2023-2032. The increasing adoption of wireless technology, the widespread product utilization in the cement industry, and extensive research and development (R&D) activities represent some of the key factors driving the market.
A kiln shell scanner is a high-performance thermal detector used to monitor a kiln shell in real time to ensure it operates efficiently. It displays the complete temperature profile of the kiln and gives early warning of hot spots indicative of refractory failure. It consists of an infrared scanner head, a data processing unit, and software. A kiln shell scanner is widely used to monitor and report the overall condition of the refractory materials lining the kiln. It also helps calculate the kiln distortion induced by temperature changes over the shell to infer the cyclical overloads and associated stresses suffered by the shell, tires, and roller stations. As a result, kiln shell scanner finds extensive applications across the minerals, cement, paper, and pulp industries.
Moreover, the widespread product utilization in the cement industry to obtain vital information on cement, limestone, and gypsum materials, extraction, and preparation is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the introduction of cloud-enabled software in the kiln shell scanner technology, which enables an interactive platform for end-users with multiple options and constant real-time input, helps detect defects in shell lining, and facilitates better decision-making, is providing an impetus to the market growth.
Additionally, kiln shell scanners ensure the collection of data in a cost-effective manner, which, in turn, ensure smooth and uninterrupted production for end users. This, along with other factors, including extensive research and development (R&D) activities, the increasing need to minimize kiln downtime, rising concerns over safety standards, and the widespread product utilization in the paper and pulp industry, is creating a positive outlook for the market.
