Industrial Push Camera

Industrial Push Cameras offer remote visual inspection professionals a versatile tool to inspect long length industrial pipe line. The ability to “snake” a camera up to 200 feet through lines and view the condition of the interior reduces the possibility of unplanned outages and prevents unessential maintenance.

Push Camera Applications Include:

  • Inspection of boiler tubes. Boiler tubes need to be checked for scale, deposits, cracking and other defects. The most reliable method is an industrial push camera with a diameter of approximately 1 inch.
  • Inspection of floor drains. Food plants need to check floor drains for cleanliness and blockages or food borne bacteria can grow. Push cameras or drain cameras allow for quick inspection.
  • Process lines need to be inspected for condition. A push camera allow fast inspection of long industrial line to check for pitting, corrosion, erosion, cracking, scaling and other problems.
  • Cleaning Validation can be performed at pharmaceutical and chemical plants with a push camera. Process lines at these plants need to be cleaned of previous product ingredients or the next batch may be contaminated. A push camera is used to ensure no residue is remaining after cleaning.
  • Steam feed lines need to be inspected for interior condition. A Push camera or pipe camera can see scale build up, pitting, corrosion, cracking and other defects.
  • Foreign Material Exclusion (FME) programs benefit from the capability of a push camera to locate foreign objects, loose parts and other debris in industrial piping. Once the push camera locates the foreign material it can then be used to direct retrieval tools to remove the objects without tear down.
