IR thermometers – quick and reliable tools for inspecting surface and internal food temperatures.
Temperature monitoring is stringent in many industries, not only to meet legislation, but also to guarantee the highest quality product for the end-user.
Raytek has introduced its easy to use handheld, pocket-size thermometers, designed specifically for food safety inspections. The range includes the FoodPro infrared thermometer for quick non-contact scanning of food surface temperatures and the FoodProPlus, which combines an infrared thermometer with a built-in contact temperature probe for applications that require both surface and internal readings.
Both the FoodPro and FoodPro Plus, provide highly accurate non-contact surface temperature measurements within the range -35 to 275°C. Target illumination indicates the surface area being measured. The units are also hand-washable to maintain proper hygiene.
Both temperature inspection tools include an HACCP (hazard analysis and critical control points) zone indicator, which clearly shows safe or unsafe food temperatures. Measurements trigger either a green (safe) or a red (unsafe) light shown above the temperature display to indicate acceptable food serving and storage temperatures, or whether corrective action is required to reduce spoilage and prevent food-borne illnesses.
For more comprehensive food safety inspections, the FoodPro Plus also features a replaceable foldout contact probe for measurements of critical internal food temperatures from -40 to 200°C, a countdown timer to monitor cooking, cooling and HACCP exposure times, as well as display of maximum temperature during scans.
Fixed infrared thermometers with standard thermocouple or mA outputs are also important to maintain standards during the manufacturing process. Raytek is able to offer low, medium and high range temperature equipment to suit the process. IR sensors and imaging cameras are non-contact, so they measure temperature without contaminating or damaging the material being measured. They are fast, precise, safe and have a long lifecycle. Integrated software for data recording and analysis makes it easy to keep any required records in order to verify that regulations (eg, HACCP) have been met.
Tunnel freezing, mixing and baking machines are a few examples of the wide range of applications that can be monitored by infrared. Raytek and Ircon infrared sensors and cameras are designed for integration into process control systems and can be built into machinery for OEM applications. A wide choice of models is available to suit the needs of most users.
