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.

Advantages of Agricultural Drying with E+E Sensors
Sensors in agricultural drying processes, such as those used in tobacco drying or sewage sludge processing, are often exposed to excessive contamination or chemical influences. With the robust sensors from E+E Elektronik, humidity is measured with long-term stability and precision, even in demanding environments, preventing quality losses. Particularly in fluidised bed drying, the E+E Sensor Coating – a protective coating applied to the active surfaces of the sensor element – and an innovative sensor connection encapsulation ensure long-term measurement accuracy, even in high humidity and aggressive environments. A stable humidity measurement significantly enhances process performance. Additionally, ATEX/IECEx/FM-certified sensors, such as the EE300Ex, provide maximum protection in dust-ex zones.
Smart sensor protection protect sensors even in extreme environments.
In agricultural drying, exact control of specified drying parameters is crucial to maintain nutrients, colour, and structure of the products. For high-value agricultural products such as seeds or animal feed, uneven or excessively long drying can significantly impact quality. E+E sensors enable precise humidity control, ensuring that the final product maintains its quality and meets the highest standards. In the commonly used fluidised bed drying process, precise absolute humidity measurement is essential to maintain optimal values. Using a heated sensor such as the HTS801 allows for highly accurate measurements, even in low humidity, at temperatures up to +180°C. This reduces measurement uncertainties, ensuring consistent product quality and a stable drying process.
Achieve uniform drying and improve product quality.
Energy is one of the largest cost factors in agricultural drying. Inefficient control of drying parameters can lead to excessively long system runtimes, resulting in wasted energy. With E+E Elektronik’s high-precision sensor technology, humidity is monitored in real time, allowing for optimal drying times. Thanks to precise humidity measurements, drying parameters can be adjusted optimally, reducing energy consumption while increasing throughput rates. Companies benefit from a significant reduction in energy costs and a more efficient use of production capacity – a decisive advantage in an energy-intensive industry.
