Sensors & Measurement Technology
Precision built on experience
Centec process sensors
Developed for highest accuracy and reliability for 50 years
Centec sensors deliver precise measurements of density, concentration, oxygen, CO₂, and other parameters – inline, hygienic, and robust. Ideal for applications in the beverage, food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
Precise data
the foundation of every successful process
Without reliable inline measurement, undetected quality deviations, energy losses, and unnecessary production costs arise. In modern processes, every second—and every measurement—counts.
Typical challenges:
-
Delayed laboratory measurements instead of real-time data
-
Fluctuating product quality due to inaccurate sensors
-
Extensive calibration & maintenance
-
Lack of integration into process control systems
