The sheer number of applications for a thermal imaging cameras and the number of different sectors where the can offer huge benefits is truely staggering. There are a huge number of industries which currently employ them in a variety of different ways. The applications they are being used for ranges from the thermal surveying of buildings (to check for integrity and heat inefficiencies) to the regular preventative maintance of mechanical machinery and equipment.


One industry in particular where Testo thermal imaging cameras are already being put to good use is in the food manufacturing and processing business. Our thermal imaging cameras are perfect for the improvement and streamlining of your maintenance department/procedures to allow your plant to operate much more effectively. The scheduling and implementation of an non-destructive, preventative maintenance programme using a thermal imaging camera would effectively allow you to cut down your downtime to an absolute minimum and save you money.

Through the use of a thermal imaging camera, your maintenance engineers will have access to a huge amount of insight and information which would have previously been hidden from them. This deep knowledge of the mechanical and electrical state of your plant and its equipment will allow your engineers to make the optimum, most cost effective decisions at any given time.


Thermal imaging cameras are perfect for the assessment of mechanical equipment to identify potential failures or maintenance issues (such as the excess heat signature of a bearing that in need of replacing). Additionally, they can be used to inspect electrical systems and will easily highlight any faulty or weak connections that could cause more serious problems if not found and fixed.

The effective employment of this technology in your food prcoessing or food manufacturing plant will allow you to reduce downtime and save both your time and money, two of your most precious commodities. Testo cameras are ergonomically engineered with the user in mind to make sure that they are both easy and comfortable to use. Combine this with top of the line German engineering and you have a thermal imaging camera that will offer you superb resolution, screen size and performance.
