TSR Messtechnik — the global standard for smoking machine airflow measurement with Thermoair sensors. Combined with TSRAI NANOZ MEMS MOX gas detection for fermentation monitoring, quality control, fire safety, and counterfeit detection throughout tobacco manufacturing.
Every tobacco smoking machine worldwide relies on TSR Thermoair sensors for precise airflow measurement — the foundation of standardized tobacco testing
The TSR Thermoair sensor is installed in 100% of all tobacco smoking machines worldwide — from major manufacturers like Borgwaldt, Cerulean, and Sodim. Swiss precision that defines the industry standard for ISO 3308 compliance.
TSRAI NANOZ gas sensors detect the unique chemical fingerprint of tobacco products — distinguishing genuine products from counterfeits through advanced VOC pattern recognition and AI analysis.

Tobacco facilities face significant fire risk — NANOZ sensors provide early detection before devastating losses
High temperatures + organic dust + low moisture = spontaneous ignition risk. Most common fire source in tobacco processing.
Self-heating in improperly cured tobacco. Smoldering can develop over hours before detection.
Uncontrolled microbial activity generates heat. Bulk tobacco can reach ignition temperature.
Average tobacco facility fire: €5-50M+ in losses. Product, equipment, and business interruption.
CO, H₂, and VOC detection identifies smoldering 10-30 minutes before traditional smoke detectors.
Distinguishes fire signatures from normal process variations. Near-zero false alarms.
Direct integration with suppression systems, dryer shutdown, and ventilation control.
24/7 protection with remote alerting. Trend analysis identifies developing hazards.
Based on medium cigarette manufacturing facility (10 billion sticks/year capacity)
20-30 NANOZ sensor nodes across fermentation, drying, flavoring, and storage areas
TSRAI NANOZ MEMS MOX sensors engineered for the demanding tobacco processing environment
Rated for -20°C to +70°C including dryer exhaust monitoring. Heat-resistant enclosures for harsh environments.
IP65 protection with filtered inlets. Designed for tobacco dust-laden atmospheres without clogging.
Single sensor array detects NH₃, CO, CO₂, VOCs, and fire gases. AI eliminates cross-sensitivity.
4-20mA, Modbus, WiFi, and LoRa connectivity for seamless integration with existing systems.
3+ year sensor lifespan with self-diagnostics. 12-month calibration intervals minimize downtime.
