CDS — Clinker Detection System
“Hear the clinkers fall — quantify fouling shedding before it damages the floor.”
CDS — Clinker Detection System
- Measures size and frequency of clinker impacts on boiler floors and beds.
- Identifies fouling problems upstream — pairs with FMS/SFD diagnostics.
- Optimizes sootblower operation and shortens chill-and-blow events.
- Protects floor tubes from large-impact damage surprises.
Scope: Impact detection & magnitude classification; event trending & reporting; sootblower optimization support; boiler floor/bed coverage.
Patented detection approach; deployed alongside FMS/SFD in recovery boilers.
Next step: CDS completes the boiler suite roadmap.

Torque-based Edge Insights: ITM iTestSystem Automated Analytics + Binsfeld TT50
In industrial and marine environments, the drivetrain is often the most critical — and least monitored — part of the system. Rotating shafts transferring torque through gearboxes, couplings, and propellers generate enormous forces that, left unmeasured, become the root cause of unexpected failures, unplanned downtime, and costly maintenance cycles. Traditional torque measurement solutions require shaft…
