Temperature Measurement


Safe non-contact food inspections

August 2010 Temperature Measurement

Advanced temperature measurement for the food-service industry.

Food-service professionals are critically aware of the need for complete, accurate and fast temperature monitoring of food, from point of receiving through to the holding and the serving thereof. Monitoring temperature has become essential to keeping food safe, so regular monitoring of temperatures and adherence to food safety guidelines makes for better business while increasing food safety and reducing liability and food waste.

Comtest Technologies is now able to offer Fluke’s FoodPro, a non-contact thermometer, to combat against improper receiving, storage and holding temperatures. Using infrared, the highly accurate FoodPro reads surface temperatures, allowing workers to make rapid and frequent temperature measurements faster than contact units and without fear of cross contamination.

The Fluke FoodPro Plus is a combination infrared surface temperature scanner and probe thermometer with an integrated countdown timer to monitor line checks and cooking and cooling intervals. Infrared readings feature a target illumination light to quickly locate and highlight the measurement spot; the dual-reading display shows the highest scanned temperature alongside the current reading. The quick response, field replaceable RTD (Resistant Thermal Device) platinum tipped probe does not need recalibration.
