High Temperature Sensor
Currently SJ Cheesman is working with the Institute of Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS) at Adelaide University to develop a state of the art High Temperature Sensor.
SJ Cheesman and IPAS have received support from the state through the government’s Photonics Catalyst Program.
The sensors are being trialled in Nyrstar’s Port Pirie smelter and have shown promising results in measuring temperatures in extreme environments, that until now have been extremely difficult to accurately record.
Lance Press
Nyrstar a major client of SJ Cheesman has recently overhauled their Port Pirie Smelter. As part of this process a Top Submerged Lance (TSL) Smelter will be a new addition to the plant. A major part of this smelter is the Top Submerged Lances, in the violent reaction condition these lances become bent and deformed. Nystar needed a machine to straighten these lances and contacted SJ Cheesman for a solution.
SJ Cheesman worked with Nyrstar to design, draw, prototype,test and produce a lance press. SJ Cheesman delivered the lance press to Nyrstar and it has been in successful operation ever since.
