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.
Deviation of only 0.1 °C in the low humidity range
Lower energy consumption thanks to optimised drying processes
Food drying requires precise control of temperature and humidity to preserve quality, flavour, and nutrients. Even slight deviations can cause uneven drying, loss of flavour, or reduced shelf life. With E+E sensors, humidity is monitored with extreme precision, ensuring that food dries evenly while retaining its natural flavour and structure. The importance of precise measurement values is particularly evident in pasta drying. Due to the high initial humidity of approximately 90% relative humidity and a temperature of just 50°C, drift issues can occur. E+E sensors achieve a deviation of only 0.1°C, enabling highly accurate and reproducible drying results. This precise control eliminates measurement uncertainties, reduces waste, and optimises production processes.
Achieve uniform drying and improve product quality.
In the food industry, hygienic production conditions and reliable technology are essential. High-maintenance sensors or unexpected failures can lead to production stoppages and high costs. E+E sensors are designed for fast and simple maintenance without interrupting the entire operation. Thanks to their modular construction, probes and sensor components can be easily replaced. This not only saves time but also significantly reduces maintenance costs. The easy installation and interchangeability allow for seamless integration into existing production processes, ensuring long-term investment security. With this solution, operational downtime is minimised, and efficiency in production is sustainably increased.
Lower maintenance costs with intelligent and easy-to-integrate components.
Energy is a major cost factor in food drying. Without precise control, drying systems often run longer than necessary, which not only increases operating costs but can also compromise product quality. The high-precision sensor technology from E+E Elektronik enables exact control of drying parameters such as air humidity and temperature, ensuring that drying times are precisely adjusted to achieve the optimal moisture content.
Specifically in the field of building material drying, customers report 20 % savings in energy costs.
