Predictive maintenance on mechanical plant and processes can save your business thousands of pounds. We can detect faults and recommend solutions which will allow you to manage your equipment rather than letting your equipment manage you.

Thermal imaging is an invaluable tool in surveying mechanical plant. This predictive maintenance technique can be crucial in identifying failing mechanical equipment and processes.

Thermographic cameras can locate a fault before it leads to catastrophic failure. Predictive maintenance is the key to scheduling your down time as it allows you to prioritise repairs / service intervals to maximise the effectiveness of your plant.

Anything that is in the early or late stages of failure emits heat, whether this is a bearing in a motor, a misaligned coupling or an internal lining failure. Our engineers, with the most sophisticated thermal imaging equipment available can locate the problem and guide you towards a solution.

The following is just a small selection of the types of equipment and processes which can be surveyed by our fully trained and experienced engineers:

  • Motor winding problems
  • Bearing failures
  • Misalignments in couplings
  • Refractory lining inspections
  • Pipe wall thickness variations
  • Lagging damage
  • Locate Leaks
  • Assessment of sediment build up in vessels or pipe work
  • Damage to tanks, pipe work or ductwork
  • Corrosion under insulation (CUI) inspections

There are many more applications not listed and we are constantly finding more ways in which we can help you reduce costs. By using this predictive maintenance technique we can help you improve the reliability and profitability of your plant.

We work across all industries and have specific Petrochemical experience. See this additional section for more information.

Pixel Thermographics can carry out a thermal imaging survey to your own requirements or will offer advice on the extent of a survey.

Prior to a survey we will provide a full risk assessment and method statement detailing how we conduct the survey and the precautions we take to ensure our work is completed safely and efficiently.
