Contactless or flush temperature measurement
in pipes or tanks with installation system
You're looking for:
- Temperature sensors you can swap without interrupting your proces
- 3A/EHEDG-certified connections you can trust
-
A complete hygienic solution that doesn't break the budget
The Conventional Approach
In most standard installations, temperature sensors are mounted directly in a pipe or tank. That means the process has to stop the moment a sensor needs to be removed for testing or recalibration:
-
The tank must be emptied or the line shut down to prevent media from escaping, resulting in unplanned production downtime.
-
When the sensor goes back in, qualified personnel need to ensure correct reinstallation in compliance with 3-A and EHEDG standards, followed by a full CIP cycle to rule out contamination.
There's a Better Way
Anderson-Negele's installation systems with thermowells eliminate these challenges entirely. The immersion sleeve is either an integral part of a pipe section or a permanently welded or screwed-in element of the process or tank. That means even when the sensor is removed for testing or recalibration, the pipe or tank stays completely closed and aseptic:
- No process interruption or unplanned downtime.
- No contamination risk, and no scramble to meet 3-A and EHEDG compliance on reinstallation.
