Description
The Datapaq Kiln Tracker from Fluke Process Instruments features the Datapaq TP6 data logger, choice of thermal barrier for either Tunnel Kilns or Roller Hearth Kilns, thermocouples and our intuitive Datapaq Insight™ Software to create a complete solution.
Specifically engineered barriers are available for floor, roof, and wall tiles, heavy clay, sanitary ware and tableware. Barriers are small enough to fit beneath the kiln car, and have sufficient thermal capacity to withstand high heat for the duration of the process.
Data Logger
- Available in 10 and 20 channel configurations and two case styles.
- Water resistant (IP67 rated).
- Communication via USB or Bluetooth
- Real time telemetry via USB, RF telemetry and Bluetooth.
- Alkaline, NiMH and Lithium battery options.
- Compatible with the Datapaq Insight™ for mobile application.
Thermal Barriers
For roller hearth kiln applications, Fluke Process Instruments offers thermal barriers with uniquely designed water tank surrounded by a blanket of ceramic fiber insulation. In addition, the thermal barriers used in the tunnel hydro kilns are fully water tight and feature robust 310 stainless steel casing to resists corrosion. Many different solutions are available as standard and made-to-order systems can be supplied.
Software
Critical profile results are available on one easy-to-read screen, automatically informing you of any out-of-tolerance parameters. In addition, a software alarm warns you immediately of process issues, allowing you to take corrective action before product damage occurs.
- Monitor rates of heating and cooling across the Quartz Inversion Point
- Review mimic positioning to see exact position of burners, fans, etc. in relation to the profile
- Monitor variable push rates scales throughout the run
- Generate certified and traceable profile reports to satisfy all your documentation needs
- With telemetry features and software, observe the exact temperature profiling in real-time

Radio telemetry link

The Datapaq TP6 radio telemetry system utilizes high temperature radio-frequency technology to allow data transmission from the data logger in real time. As the system travels through the process, product and process temperature data can be viewed, analyzed and reported instantaneously. This technology can be applied to monitoring key thermal processes in most industrial heating applications.
