Specialized Solution for Power Transmission Industry

Industry Background:

Temperature  Monitoring  for Power Transmission

The meat processing industry is highly dependent on precise temperature control. From slaughtering, cutting, curing, smoking to packaging, each stage requires strict temperature management to ensure food safety and product quality.

Industry Challenges and Pain Points

Harsh Environment Adaptability

High humidity environments (smoking room humidity can reach over 80%), corrosive environments (brine, acidic marinades, smoke compounds), and extreme temperature fluctuations (-40°C freezing to over 100°C cooking).

Accuracy and Reliability Requirements

Regulations typically require temperature errors within ±0.5°C, long-term stability to reduce calibration frequency, and 24/7 uninterrupted monitoring at critical points.

Hygiene and Cleaning Requirements

Sensors must comply with food contact material standards, be easy to clean with no sanitary dead zones, and withstand high-pressure, high-temperature cleaning (CIP/SIP).

Integration and Automation

Seamless integration with PLC and SCADA systems, support for industrial communication protocols (4-20mA, HART, Profibus, etc.), and remote monitoring and alarm functions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What advantages do PT100 sensors have over thermocouples in meat processing?

PT100 offers higher accuracy (±0.1-0.5°C vs ±1-2°C), better stability, no cold junction compensation required, making it more suitable for precise temperature control processes like smoking and cooking. Platinum resistance material has excellent long-term stability with minimal annual drift, reducing calibration frequency and maintenance costs.

How to choose the right PT100 sensor for smoking rooms?

Select sensors with: 1) Corrosion-resistant materials (such as 316L stainless steel with Teflon coating); 2) Appropriate length (typically 150-300mm); 3) IP68 or higher protection rating; 4) Connection heads with anti-condensation design. For high-humidity smoking environments, models with special coatings resistant to tar and phenolic compounds are recommended.

How often should PT100 sensors be calibrated?

Calibration frequency should be adjusted based on usage environment and importance: Critical control points (such as sterilization vessels, core areas of smoking rooms) should be calibrated every 6 months; General monitoring points (such as storage environments) should be calibrated annually. Our smart PT100 sensors include self-diagnostic functions that can provide early warnings of accuracy drift.

Can high-pressure cleaning damage PT100 sensors?

Qualified sanitary PT100 sensors are designed to withstand high-pressure cleaning at 80°C and 100bar. Choosing IP69K rated products ensures safety. Our sensors feature seamless, dead-zone-free design with surface roughness Ra≤0.8μm, compliant with EHEDG sanitary standards, specifically designed for high-pressure cleaning environments in the food industry.

How to install multiple sensors to ensure temperature uniformity?

1) Install following "hot spot" and "cold spot" principles; 2) Install at least 2 sensors per smoking room (top and bottom for temperature differential monitoring); 3) Use grid layout for large equipment (one monitoring point per 2-3 square meters); 4) Conduct regular temperature distribution verification (recommended quarterly). We offer free temperature distribution testing services to help customers optimize sensor placement.
