➕ Building Material Drying

Precision and reliability are crucial in the industrial drying of wood, pellets, bricks or concrete. Fluctuations in temperature or humidity can lead to longer drying times, quality defects or increased energy consumption. Robust and durable sensor solutions are particularly in demand under extreme conditions – for example at temperatures of up to 180°C. The high-precision sensors from E+E Elektronik ensure uniform drying, minimise waste and enable energy-efficient process control – for measurable cost savings and sustainable production.

➕ Textile Drying

Whether for industrial laundry drying, leather drying, or processing sensitive textile fibres – precise humidity measurement is essential for ensuring consistently high product quality and energy-efficient processes. Fluctuating residual moisture can cause material damage, while excessively long drying times drive up energy costs. E+E Elektronik's sensor solutions ensure reliable measurements even at high temperatures, high humidity, and in contaminated environments. This allows for precise drying process control, minimised waste, and increased energy efficiency – contributing to sustainable and economical production.

➕ Agricultural Drying

Whether animal feed, seeds, tobacco, or oilseeds – proper humidity regulation is essential for quality, shelf life, and yield. Dust, high humidity, and aggressive substances place extreme demand on sensors, which must still operate reliably and with high precision. The sensor solutions from E+E Elektronik provide durable and robust technology for stable humidity measurements, even under the most challenging conditions. By precisely controlling drying parameters, energy consumption and costs are minimised while product quality is optimised – contributing to sustainable and economical agricultural production.

➕ Food Drying

Whether grains, pasta, herbs, coffee, or meat – proper drying is crucial for quality, shelf life, and flavour. Inaccurate humidity measurements can lead to loss of flavour, uneven drying, or increased energy consumption. The high-precision sensors from E+E Elektronik enable exact control of temperature and humidity, ensuring that food is dried gently and efficiently. Thanks to their modular design, maintenance costs can be reduced, while optimised process control saves energy and lowers production costs – contributing to sustainable and economical food processing.

➕ Smart Sensor Protecting

1. E+E Sensor-Coating

This proprietary sensor coating, developed by E+E Elektronik, is a protective layer applied to the active surface of the sensor element. The coating extends the lifespan and measurement performance of the E+E sensor. Furthermore, it enhances the long-term stability of sensors in harsh, dusty, and contaminated environments.

2. Innovative Sensor Connection Encapsulation

This technology provides highly effective protection against the damaging effects of dirt particles and dust, particularly in the connection area, which could lead to premature failures. In combination with the sensor coating, the encapsulation ensures optimal protection even under the harshest conditions.

3. Heated Humidity and Temperature Sensor Elements (High-Humidity Guard)

For applications in continuous high humidity, the heated sensors from E+E Elektronik are valuable. Condensation on the sensor elements is prevented through continuous, regulated heating of the element and sensor body (dual-heating system). This increases the sensors lifespan and long-term stability while significantly reducing maintenance intervals and inaccurate measurements.

4. Automatic Recovery (ARC) Against Chemical Contamination

This function ensures long-term stable measurements when the sensor is exposed to chemical contamination. This is triggered manually or via internal timing and activates intensive heating of the sensor element. Intense heat removes contaminants and prevents potential measurement drift.

These smart protection innovations from E+E Elektronik ensure uninterrupted operation and a long service life – even under the harshest environmental conditions and at temperatures up to 180°C.
