Minco’s assembly capabilities enable a streamlined sourcing partner for customized, value-add products. From industry standard configurations used in industrial oil and gas applications to custom plug-n-play temperature harnesses used in aerospace hydraulics, Minco engineering has the expertise to develop the ideal solution. In addition, Minco offers an extensive portfolio of hazardous area certified assemblies (IECEx, ATEX, FM, CSA) where additional safety is required in potentially dangerous environments.

Minco’s sanitary sensors are authorized to carry 3-A symbol for sanitary applications, including food, beverage, and pharmaceutical processing. These sensors come in three main styles, including probe, connection head assembly, and thermowell assembly.

Cases, made of polished 316 stainless steel, are free of cracks and crevices that might shelter bacteria. External cables will withstand wash-down and offer an optional stainless steel armor to prevent abrasion wear. Epoxy coated aluminum connection heads available for terminating leads to external wiring and housing a temperature transmitter. The fast-response thermowell assembly lets you remove the RTD probe without breaking into the process lines. Flanges are designed to install with the Tri-Clamp sanitary cap fittings.

Small, rugged temperature sensors withstand rough handling and harsh environments. Designed for easy installation, these sensors can be mounted directly on machines, against process pipes, or embedded directly into a machined part. Miniature sensors are ideal for process control measurements, test and verification of existing systems, and retrofitting existing machines.

• Embedment sensors are no larger than many bare ceramic elements. These sensors have a metal case and insulated leads to withstand rough handling and harsh environments. They are easy to install in drilled holes for applications ranging from bearing shoe temperature monitoring in industrial rotating equipment to heat-sink temperature of PCR equipment in clinical laboratories.
• Bolt-on and economy sensors have the widest variety of designs and features. The highly customized profiles and fast time response capability makes these sensors ideal for applications ranging from semi-conductor chip temperature detection to temperature profiling of medical DNA sequencing equipment.

Materials: Minco utilizes advanced CAD/CAM machining for economic production of cases, fittings and assemblies. We have expertise working with a variety of materials, including: Stainless steel in various grades, Brass, Copper, Monel, Hastelloy, Titanium, Rubber, PTFE, and plastics.

Surface plating with nickel, gold, and other metals enables the use of high-conductivity sheaths with the added resistance to corrosion for superior performing temperature sensors.
