WENDT CORPORATION, a leading provider of shredding and separation solutions for the recycling industry, is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with Viper Imaging. The relationship expands WENDT‘s offering to include advanced thermal imaging, early fire detection, and industrial monitoring technologies for scrap processing operations throughout North America.
As part of the collaboration, WENDT will offer a Predator Package developed specifically for scrap monitoring applications. The package combines a high-resolution thermal imager with a rugged aluminum enclosure, integrated air knife and vortex cooler, vibration-isolating wall mount, and ViperVision+ software. Operators can view thermal imaging, record snapshots and radiometric video, and connect the system with existing VMS systems for expanded coverage and visibility.
By combining Viper’s imaging technology and technical expertise with WENDT’s equipment knowledge, integration capabilities, and support, the companies provide recyclers with solutions to identify potential issues earlier, reduce operational risk, and improve visibility.
A key focus will be bringing advanced thermal monitoring and early fire detection capabilities to recycling operations. Viper specializes in scalable thermal imaging and process monitoring technology designed for early fire detection, condition-based maintenance, and industrial process monitoring. The technology can integrate with control and software systems, such as WENDTOS, to deliver alarms, trends, and operating data, providing operators better insight into changing conditions and information needed to respond quickly.
“This relationship gives our customers another layer of protection and oversight into their operations,” said Ken Justus, Business Development Manager of WENDT Aftermarket. “By combining Viper’s thermal imaging and monitoring technology with WENDT’s knowledge of shredder operations and our aftermarket support capabilities, it strengthens our ability to help recyclers identify potential issues sooner, mitigate risk, and operate with more confidence.”
“WENDT brings deep knowledge of the scrap recycling industry, strong customer relationships, and the ability to integrate and support technology in demanding operating environments,” said Andy Beck, Vice President of Business Development. “Together, we can make advanced thermal monitoring and early fire detection more accessible to recycling operations throughout North America.”
