Sensors in the food industry
Controlling the temperature in food processing is very important to ensure the quality and safety of the final product, keeping it in the ideal characteristics for consumption and leaving it free from contamination that affects the consumer (such as bacteria, etc).
most used sensors
For this, thermocouples or thermoresistances (such as PT100) are used through the contact, either with local or remote indication. Due to the range of temperature measurement, T-type thermocouples are usually used due to their precision and also because they support environments with high humidity.
typical applications
Typical applications are in the manufacture of cheeses, yogurt, dairy products, juices and also in restaurants (bath maria, greenhouses, etc).
