1. A conveyor belt temperature anomaly detection system, comprising:

  • an infrared line scanner having one or more infrared detectors and arranged to scan the surface of a conveyor belt in a direction perpendicular to the direction of travel of the conveyor belt and to generate thermal image data in dependence on infrared radiation detected by the infrared detector; and

    a processing unit configured to process the thermal image data to identify temperature anomalies in the material travelling on the surface of the conveyor belt.
