Today, pressure and temperature sensors and even datalogging units can be miniaturised to the degree that they can be implanted in fruits and then run through complete processing facilities to measure the real conditions in the facility and ensure high-quality, gentle processing. Artificial 'teeth' measure how crisp cucumbers are, artificial 'noses' made of gas sensors can detect mould in storehouses or fruit stores. And portable spectrometers are used to find out when it is the right time to pick apples - while they are still on the tree.

But besides such special applications, the demand for solutions in the classical fields of measuring and control technology is still increasing. Afriso-Euro-Index is a long-standing provider in this area. The company has an extensive range of products for pressure, temperature and level measurement in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. The offering covers products such as stainless steel diaphragm pressure gauges, thermometers, pressure transducers, resistance thermometers, diaphragm pressure transmitters, tongue-type pressure transmitters, pipe pressure transmitters, pipe temperature sensors and level limit switches. Depending on the measuring tasks, the devices are available in high-temperature versions, Ex versions, with capillary tubes, in field housings and with various electrical connections and output signals.

A large selection of process connections (DIN, SMS, and clamp) enables easy and fast installation in existing facilities. The devices can be cleaned according to CIP/SIP criteria and are made according to internationally recognised standards (3-A certificate, FDA). The range of measuring devices is complemented by a line of digital display and control devices. Afriso's particular strength is comprehensive knowledge in the production of analogue measuring devices, accumulated over many decades. In addition, the company's vertical integration enables it to respond to specific customer requirements effectively. The company can manufacture even small lots and special designs just in time while maintaining its high quality.

According to Afriso, proven pointer-type instruments will continue to play an important role in production processes in the food industry for a number of reasons:

1. They do not need a power supply and they reliably display values even in the case of power failures.

2. They are easy to read even from a distance.

3. The cost of ownership of these high-quality devices is low.
