Conveyors operating in proximity to high‑temperature process equipment are subjected to continual thermal loading, making precise and stable pressure measurement critical for maintaining system safety and operational integrity. Elevated ambient and radiant heat can degrade elastomeric seals, accelerate sensor drift, thicken or carbonize lubricants, and cause fluctuations in pneumatic or hydraulic control pressures—issues that can lead to unplanned shutdowns or premature component failure.
For these demanding environments, Druck high‑temperature pressure sensors provide a robust solution engineered to withstand the thermal stresses present near industrial ovens, curing systems, dryers, and other heat‑intensive machinery.
The Druck 8000 Series incorporates a rugged 25 mm stainless‑steel, silicon‑exposed sensing element designed specifically for harsh industrial thermal zones. This construction delivers superior resistance to radiative and convective heat transfer. For example, when mounted near conveyor gearboxes adjacent to a 400°C curing oven, the sensor maintains measurement stability and minimal thermal offset, even when ambient temperatures cycle rapidly during line start‑ups or batch transitions. The design also mitigates thermal shock effects caused by sudden air‑knife cooling or process airflow changes.
By integrating the 8000 Series into temperature‑challenged conveyor systems, operators gain reliable pressure readings for lubrication skids, pneumatic tensioners, hydraulic actuators, and safety interlocks—ensuring consistent performance and reducing the risk of costly thermal‑related downtime.
