Humidity and temperature measurement in agriculture and the food industry
Humidity and temperature measurement in food technology is essential and strictly regulated. The often stringent and sensitive requirements relating to climatic conditions result in improved maturation processes, healthy growth, optimum quality and a long shelf life.
The taste and quality of food are not determined simply by what the food is made from. The manufacturing process itself is often a key “ingredient”. Modern technologies may be used, for example, to simulate natural climatic conditions or to specifically optimise quality and shelf life with the help of humidity and temperature.
Our transmitters and humidity sensors are often deployed by producers of ham and sausages as well as cheese dairies and bakeries, and are even used for apple ripening, tea drying and sugar production, in greenhouses and silos, and more.
High humidity
Sensors with a water-resistant Polyga measuring element are ideal for high humidity applications (e.g. in cheese dairies). These sensors are characterised by extremely stable measured values and good insensitivity. The measuring element is not only water-resistant, but also robust and virtually maintenance-free.
ATEX for potentially explosive atmospheres
The ATEX-certified transmitter is a good solution for applications in hazardous environments. It has been developed especially for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and areas with combustible dust around instruments of categories 1/2G and 2D. This intrinsically safe transmitter can measure relative humidity and temperature with high precision.
Quick response times with a capacitive sensor
Transmitters with a capacitive humidity sensor have excellent dynamic behaviour. With their quick response times, they are a very reliable choice for many applications in the food industry.
Extensive practical experience
Due to the complexity and diversity of food production (and processes), each measuring task is unique. Our many years of practical experience enable us to provide accurate and stable solutions that ensure a safe and reliable process for you.
