Advantages of E+E Sensors in Pharmaceutical Machinery
In pharmaceutical machinery, sensors must endure frequent sterilisation, aggressive cleaning, and 24/7 operation. Extreme humidity levels, solvents, and thermal cycling often cause sensor drift and performance degradation over time. E+E sensors are developed and manufactured entirely in-house from the sensing element to the assembled transmitter. This vertical integration provides full control over all materials and process steps, delivering outstanding long-term stability and reliability in demanding pharmaceutical environments.

Sterilisation with hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), alcohol-based cleaning, solvent exposure, and temperature extremes place extreme stress on sensitive measurement components.
E+E sensors are engineered to withstand these stresses through:
- Protective sensor coatings and filters that shield humidity and temperature sensing elements from solvents and chemical residues.
- ARC (Automatic ReCovery) that actively restores sensor performance after exposure to alcohols or cleaning vapours.
- Catalytic H₂O₂ filters to prevent degradation during bio-decontamination cycles.
- Ceramic-based sensing elements in air-velocity probes offering exceptional mechanical and chemical stability.
- Stainless-steel housings and interchangeable filter caps providing durable protection against corrosion and contamination build-up.
This robustness ensures consistent performance when sterility and uptime are critical.

Machine builders in the pharmaceutical sector require multiple measurement parameters, yet prefer a single trusted partner. Managing several instrument suppliers increases validation effort and complicates documentation. E+E Elektronik provides a comprehensive sensor portfolio for humidity, temperature, differential pressure, air velocity, air flow and dew point. A unified platform design simplifies mechanical and electrical integration, reduces qualification time, and ensures consistent quality across all parameters.

Regulated industries demand verifiable accuracy and documented compliance. Calibration uncertainty or non-traceable certificates can lead to costly requalification or audit findings. E+E sensors are calibrated in the company’s EN ISO/IEC 17025-accredited, in-house laboratory, traceable to national metrology institute (NMI) standards. Each device ships with complete, traceable documentation, providing the certainty and transparency required for GMP, FDA-regulated environments, and ATEX/IECEx-classified zones.

Modern pharmaceutical machines rely on seamless data integration and minimal downtime. E+E sensors feature auto-zero calibration and a modular digital platform such as Sigma 05 with USB-C configuration and bus connectivity. These innovations ensure consistent process control, fast calibration checks, and straightforward integration into existing control architectures.
