Instrumentation / Temperature

Temperature Sensors

Anderson Negele temperature sensors are designed for precise, hygienic, and reliable temperature measurement in sanitary processing environments such as food, beverage, dairy, and pharmaceutical production.        

Built from 316L stainless steel, compliant with 3 A, EHEDG, and FDA standards, and engineered for fast response times, these sensors maintain accuracy in CIP/SIP, pasteurization, sterile processing, and other critical thermal applications.

Temperature Measurement Solutions for Sanitary Applications

The Anderson-Negele temperature sensor portfolio includes configurable RTD sensors, compact mini sensors, versatile process sensors, and digital thermometers designed for hygienic measurement and reliable process performance.

TSBA Modular RTD Sensors

Configurable stainless steel sensors with high accuracy and flexible output options including analog and IO-Link.

TSMA Mini Sensors

Compact hygienic RTD sensors designed for tight-space installations and sanitary process lines.

TFP Series Sensors

A versatile sensor range compatible with CLEANadapt for dead-leg-free installation and multiple process connections.

Digital Thermometers

High-accuracy electronic sensors for calibration, verification, and process monitoring.

  Key Benefits

1. Hygienic, Sanitary Design

All sensors are stainless‑steel, electropolished, and designed to eliminate crevices, supporting full hygienic compliance.


FDA, 3‑A, and EHEDG compliant materials and assemblies ensure cleanability in critical production environments.

2. High Accuracy & Fast Response

Many models deliver ±0.1 K accuracy, supporting precise control in processes sensitive to temperature variation. 

Fast‑responding sensor tips enable real‑time monitoring in CIP/SIP cycles and high‑speed thermal transitions. 

3. Flexible Configuration Options

Modular RTD designs allow interchangeable elements, wiring heads, transmitters, and digital displays. 

Flex‑Hybrid output (analog 4–20 mA + IO‑Link) supports both modern and legacy automation systems. 

Broad range of connections: Tri‑Clamp, dairy flange, VARIVENT, weld‑in sleeves via CLEANadapt, threaded G1/2, and more. 

4. Built for Harsh Process Environments

Resistant to vibration, pressure shocks, aggressive CIP chemicals, and frequent steam sterilization cycles. 

Suitable for high‑temperature applications up to 250–300°C depending on the sensor type. 

  Common Uses

Food & Beverage Processing

Used throughout thermal control points in beverage processing, brewing, pasteurization, heating, cooling loops, and CIP/SIP validation. Sensors such as TSMA/TSBA support robust, accurate control across vessels and piping systems.

Dairy Processing

Ideal for milk pasteurizers, separator lines, holding tubes, fermentation tanks, and temperature‑controlled dairy vessels. TFP series sensors integrate easily using CLEANadapt for hygienic, dead‑leg‑free installation..

Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences

Designed for sterile processes, WFI generation, bioreactors, fermenters, and cleanroom‑grade temperature measurement. SW/CT pharma RTDs offer electropolished surfaces and high‑accuracy specifications.

CIP/SIP & High-Temperature Applications

Temperature sensors ensure correct cycle verification, heating profiles, and sterilization compliance. Their fast response and stainless‑steel construction make them suitable for aggressive chemical and thermal environments.  

Summary

Anderson‑Negele temperature sensors deliver the precision, durability, and hygienic performance required for modern sanitary processing. Whether used for sterile pharmaceutical applications, dairy pasteurization, beverage processing, or CIP/SIP cycle control, these sensors provide accurate, repeatable temperature measurement with hygienic design, flexible configuration options, and long‑term reliability. Their stainless‑steel construction, modular architecture, and compliance with global sanitary standards make them ideal for integration into both new and existing hygienic installations.
