Hygienic Temperature Sensors: Precision for Process Control

Hygienic temperature sensors are crucial for accurate monitoring and control in production and CIP/SIP processes, especially in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. Anderson-Negele’s advanced temperature sensors deliver precise, reliable measurements with rapid response times, ensuring optimal efficiency and consistent quality. Whether in breweries, dairies, beverage and wine production, or pharmaceutical manufacturing, our sensors provide accurate temperature readings in liquid media, helping you maintain high standards and sustainable processes.

Hygienic Design & Durable Materials for RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detector) and Temperature Sensors

Anderson-Negele’s high-quality RTDs and temperature sensors are crafted entirely from stainless steel, ensuring both durability and hygiene. For food industry applications, we use premium 1.4404 (316L) stainless steel, while our pharmaceutical-grade sensors are made from 1.4435 (316L) stainless steel. These robust sensors are built to endure extreme mechanical stresses, including vibrations and pressure shocks, making them ideal for demanding environments. With Anderson-Negele, you get reliable, long-lasting performance in the most challenging conditions.

Flexible Installation Options for RTDs and Temperature Sensors

Anderson-Negele provides a versatile range of process connections, offering exceptional flexibility for installing RTDs and temperature sensors in both new and existing systems. Whether you’re retrofitting tanks, pipes, or installing in new plants, our sensors are designed for seamless integration. We offer options with Tri-Clamp connections, O-ring seals, and even models that can be installed without a process opening, perfect for pipelines with very small diameters. Most configurations adhere to stringent hygienic standards, including EHEDG, 3-A, and FDA, ensuring compliance and reliability in critical applications.

Versatile Versions & High Performance of RTDs and Temperature Sensors

The TS series offers flexible options with compact or mini sensor heads, available with either an integrated transmitter or connection to an external transducer. Tailored to meet specific process needs, these temperature sensors can be equipped with one or two Pt100 platinum measuring resistors. To ensure precise temperature measurement, insertion lengths range from 1 1/8″ to 43 1/2″, with inline integration possible for tanks and pipes as small as DN10. Optional reduced measuring tips (3 mm or 4 mm) enhance reaction speed, significantly shortening t50 and t90 response times. For processes requiring unobstructed flow, a front-flush variant ensures pigging compatibility. Additionally, a special version for installation in welded thermowells allows precise temperature measurement without direct sensor-medium contact, enabling sensor maintenance or replacement without interrupting the process.

Anderson-Negele offers specialized temperature indicators designed to meet stringent industry requirements. The FD digital reference thermometer is ideal for legal pasteurization systems, fully compliant with the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance. It’s also suitable for retort cookers, where its remote-mounted display enhances operator safety by keeping readings away from hazardous areas.

The FH digital temperature gauges provides a modern, battery-operated replacement for traditional mercury-in-glass thermometers on retort cookers. Its digital display simplifies the collection of process data during critical cook cycles, ensuring accuracy and ease of use.

Additionally, our advanced sensors are specifically engineered to monitor and control Clean-In-Place (CIP) chemical concentrations. This optimizes cleaning processes and protects equipment from the damage caused by chemical overuse.

Additional Options for Temperature Measurement

Anderson-Negele’s standard temperature meters provide precise measurements for liquid media, ranging from 0°F to 300°F, with certain models extending from -50°F to 350°F. For easy visual monitoring, these sensors feature an LCD display with digital temperature indication in both °C and °F.

We also offer specialized versions, including battery-powered temperature gauges designed for food and dairy applications, robust gauges tailored for retort processes, and digital reference thermometers ideal for pasteurization and reporting applications. Each option is crafted to meet the specific needs of your process, ensuring reliable and accurate temperature control.
