MPE RoHS Series: Mercury-Free & High-Temp Melt Pressure Transducers
The MPE RoHS Series is the eco-conscious choice for modern extrusion lines, featuring advanced “Alloy-Filled” technology. Unlike standard sensors that use mercury, the MPE Series is 100% Mercury-Free, making it the mandatory standard for food packaging, medical grade polymers, and pharmaceutical applications. With an extraordinary temperature resistance of up to 700°C and a specialized anti-corrosive coating, it is also the ideal solution for abrasive recycled materials and high-heat polymer processing.
-

-
Enhanced Protection: Special diaphragm coating for high-abrasion resistance in recycling processes.
Description
Sustainability Meets Industrial Performance
In today’s regulatory landscape, the transition to mercury-free equipment is no longer optional for many sectors. The MPE RoHS Series utilizes a proprietary non-toxic alloy-filling technology that mirrors the performance of traditional mercury sensors without the environmental risk.
Engineered for the 700°C Frontier
Many standard sensors fail as they approach 400°C. The MPE Series is built differently. By utilizing high-temperature resistant coatings and advanced diaphragm materials like Inconel 718, these transducers maintain structural integrity and signal accuracy at temperatures reaching 700°C. This makes them the go-to choice for high-performance plastics and chemical fiber industrial applications where heat management is critical.

FAQ
-
Why should I choose an Alloy-Filled sensor over Mercury? Alloy-filled sensors are required for any application where contamination could be catastrophic (food, medical). They also ensure your plant stays ahead of tightening environmental regulations.
-
Does the 700°C limit affect the lifespan of the sensor? No. The MPE Series is specifically designed with materials and coatings that prevent “thermal fatigue,” ensuring a long service life even at extreme temperatures.
-
Can this replace my existing Gefran or Dynisco mercury sensors? Yes. The MPE Series uses standard threads and electrical connections, allowing for a seamless “Green” upgrade of your existing machinery.
