Large-screen monitor lines for melting furnaces
Large-screen monitors are a category of devices, not a single model. Choosing the wrong category won't be solved by switching brands.
Large-screen display meters are not a single model but a group of devices differing in three aspects: installation method, probe length, and data logging capability. Choosing the right group matters more than choosing a brand.
For furnaces of 3 tons and above, handheld devices typically require operators to stand near the furnace opening. A fixed large-screen display resolves both reading distance and issues related to power supply and durability.
Key Control Points
Mounting Type
Wall-mounted or pole-mounted; fixed around the stove area rather than moving with the user.
Probe length
Typically 2,5 m and can extend to about 3,2 m for deep kilns, helping maintain a safe distance.
Save data
Rows with memory are suitable for batch lookup; rows without memory are only suitable for sub-stations.
Power source
Use a fixed power supply to avoid battery dependence in hot environments during matches.
Real-world experience
- Measure the furnace mouth height and distance to the standing position before selecting the probe length.
- Select a mounting position that avoids bucket interference and is outside the splash zone.
- For wireless lines, test the actual transmission range in steel-structured factories.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a large screen require an additional computer?
Optional. A computer is only needed if you want to save and analyze data centrally.
Can the long probe be used with a handheld unit?
Connector type varies; please confirm with the supplier to avoid purchasing incompatible parts.
