Digital Food Thermometer – A Food Safe Instrument

HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) seek after the objective of limiting nourishment related diseases. The idea requires efficient checks, regularly of the sustenance temperature over the entire cooling chain, yet additionally of pH levels or cooking oil. Specialized checking, including documentation, is of prime significance around there. 

The seven standards of the HACCP idea are: 

1. Hazard examination 

2. Critical control focuses 

3. Limit esteems 

4. Continuous observing 

5. Corrective measures 

6. Documentation 

7. Regular check 

The universal estimating innovation producer Testo AG from the Black Forest, Germany adjusted to the particular structure states of the nourishment segment at a beginning period and in an exceptionally complete manner. The organization's point is to offer proficient, quick, yet safe estimating answers for sustenance. Testo is the main organization in its division to get an honour for its sustenance safe estimating instruments. The instruments were truly put through hell in testing as per HACCP guidelines and affirmed as "nourishment safe". 

Testo's steady quality strategy considers these exceptional conditions. The estimating instruments are fittingly outlined. This is the situation for instance with the testo 104, a collapsing thermometer for center temperature estimation with a to a great degree powerful metal collapsing pivot. The likelihood of having the capacity to crease the test up after the estimation makes the instrument simple to deal with and strong. Or then again the testo 108, a temperature estimating instrument with standard entrance test which gets by with just two keys. 

It is so natural to work, that the client does not need past learning of any sort. The two instruments can't be hurt at all by the brutal workplace. In the meantime, they meet the HACCP criteria as far as cleanliness, as they are cleaned under running water and germs can't create at all in any case. What's more, there are no pointless capacities which would muddle fast estimation. Likewise no planning time is required for the estimation in whatever shape. Indeed, even untrained staff can utilize these instruments instinctively and do safe estimations. Taking care of is truly open at the touch of a catch. 

Satisfying the HACCP criteria does not simply mean taking consistent estimations. At the point when nourishment controllers check a business, the administrator must have the capacity to demonstrate consistence with the orders consistently. This is done through the tedious, regularly manual documentation of estimation comes about. Thus, various Testo 184 estimating instruments have fitting information stockpiling assets or even PC programming for information investigation and logging. 

As a choice, helpful quick printers can be associated and estimation conventions still grew straightforwardly on location. This offers clients an abnormal state of security as far as having the capacity to confirm the best possible state of their products consistently. For example, information lumberjacks go with nourishment being transported in trucks and persistently show the temperature at particularly characterized interims. The littlest temperature vacillations amid transport can consequently be demonstrated. Results can later be perused out on the PC.

Crucial Measurements at Transport and Approaching Goods Phase

Nourishment A matter of trust 

Nourishment is one of those couple of wares where clients request security alongside quality. This tosses the restaurateurs into the tremendous test of serving safe and quality sustenance which are consistent to various nourishment standards directed by bodies like HACCP, and in the meantime deal with their operational systems financially. In sustenance segment, the eateries need to check numerous vital estimations at each phase of the procedure chain, similar to temperature, relative mugginess, cooking oil quality, to give some examples. Henceforth, the focused on utilization of estimation innovation guarantees flawless nourishment quality, considering the HACCP directions.

Transport: Temperature observing and quality information documentation in the vehicle of nourishments is to a great degree basic. A few nourishments have a specific refrigeration necessity in transport, and the icy chain it requires may by no means be interfered. With testo's vehicle information lumberjacks, you can screen each progression of the frosty chain. The lumberjacks go for your sake in cargo and stacking rooms, checking temperatures amid the vehicle of touchy merchandise like nourishment on rail, noticeable all around or out and about. At their goal, you see initially whether as far as possible esteems have been clung to.

Suggested estimating instrument: Transport information lumberjack testo 184 

• USB information lumberjacks for estimations amid transport

• Immediate making of a PDF report specifically after association with a PC

• Transport checking in consistence with GxP, 21 CFR Part 11, HACCP and EN 12830

• The transport information lumberjack family has six distinct variations – with show/without show, utilize and toss/multi-utilize lumberjacks for temperature/moistness too stun estimation and one particularly for dry ice applications (- 80 °C).

Approaching Goods: 

This is the place nourishments ignore into the duty of the recipient, regardless of whether, its a store, an eatery, a retailer, and so on, where he must have the capacity to depend on getting and preparing just flawless products. Quickly after the provider's entry, the spot temperature checks (or consistent estimation amid frosty chain) are done either straightforwardly on the stacking stage or in the conveyance vehicle utilizing versatile temperature estimating instruments which measure temperature either without contact by infrared, or with surface or infiltration tests.

Prescribed estimating instrument: The infiltration infrared thermometer testo 104-IR

Automatic Monitoring & Documentation of Temperatures in Food Cold Chain with Testo Wi-Fi Data Logger

If it is about food, then it goes without saying that only hygienically immaculate goods are expected by the consumers. Undoubtedly, being the basic necessity of life good quality food stuffs is the highest priority for all consumers, food suppliers and manufactures. Be it vegetables, meat and sausages, poultry or dairy products- no one in the entire cold chain simply can afford bad quality because the customers would not accept damaged products.

Impediments to Safe & quality food throughout the supply chain

Right from farm to fork, there are many hindrances in supplying good quality food products - in Storage, transportation and other stages of supply chain. Firstly, the appearance of food items should be fresh and appetizing and not just that but the food also needs to be hygienically immaculate - More so with the perishable goods. For example, when the cold chain is interrupted and the foods are exposed to excessively high temperatures over a longer period. And secondly, because guidelines such as the HACCP concept must be strictly adhered to in order to eliminate risk factors.

This means that foods must be stored continuously at defined temperature limit values, typically at least -18 °C for deep-frozen goods and +4 °C to +8 °C in the refrigerated range. If refrigeration temperatures are not adhered to, leading to the sale of spoilt foods, there is a threat of considerable economic damage. All this often results due to failure or poor monitoring systems.

Conventional measurement data monitoring systems do automate monitoring. However, for this area of application they are often too complex, need time consuming installation, above all one person is always responsible for collecting the data and documenting them, by hand or electronically. Another setback surfaces due to the lack of warning and intimation features.

A Step ahead of Conventions

Considering the preferences of consumers, the indispensable norms that are to be followed and the quality level that has to be maintained, testo provides a superior alternative that can be easily induced in entire food monitoring system and supply chain, called as testo Saveris 2 - WiFi data loggers.

Carry out Norm-compliant VAC Grid Measurement-with the Multi-function Measuring Instrument Testo 480

In order to be able to guarantee the error-free and energy-efficient performance of a VAC system, the correct adjustment of the total volume flow must be proven. In an incorrectly adjusted system, the indoor air quality deteriorates, which can negatively influence the health of the staff or production quality. This is why is important that in approval testing or when servicing a system, VAC technicians carry out a reliable, but also ve+ry complex VAC grid measurement according to EN 12599.

With the multi-function measuring instrument testo 480, Testo greatly simplifies VAC grid measurement – offering VAC constructors, assessors and facility managers a guided measurement program for norm-compliant results, as well as a large selection of highly accurate probes for the various requirements of the measurement.

Whether a VAC system fulfils the prescribed total volume flow, thus guaranteeing the required indoor climate, must be tested and proven according to the extensive guidelines of EN 12599 in approval testing and when servicing. As the flow profile in the duct rarely corresponds to the ideal shape (laminar/turbulent), and since the velocity profile can be extreme depending on the distance to the next source of interference, a grid measurement offers the safest method of correctly calculating volume flow. However, this form of measurement is very complex, and depending on the shape size of the duct, requires different measuring instruments and procedures – in rectangular ducts the trivial method, for example, and in round ducts the centroidal axis method. In addition to this, errors are more likely in grid measurement. There are various causes for this, ranging from influences at the measurement location up to errors in the conversion calculations of results.

With the multi-function measuring instrument testo 480, you conduct VAC grid measurements norm-compliantly according to EN 12599. With an integrated measurement program, the instrument guides you step by step through the entire measurement process, and offers a number of highly accurate probes such as thermal probes, vane probes or Pitot tubes – for low, medium or high flow velocities and different duct shapes. Thanks to the intelligent calibration concept, the probes notify the measuring instrument as soon the next calibration is due. Digital probes can even be calibrated without the hand instrument, allowing the uninterrupted use of the testo 480.

The measurement procedure is structured and simple:. First you enter the necessary parameters, such as duct geometry, distance from the edge or aperture position of the measurement location, into the menu. You then start the measurement program, whose graphic support guides you reliably and quickly through the measurement. The different measurement points in the duct are approached sequentially according to their coordinates. After the end of the measurement, the mean values as well as the uncertainties for flow velocity and volume flow are automatically calculated and displayed. This allows the total uncertainty to be directly evaluated without any additional measurements. With the testo 480, you are prepared for everything, you work quickly, obtain error-free measurement results, and can present them to your customers directly on site.

testo 480 – all the advantages at a glance:

• Guided measurement program for norm-compliant measurements according to EN 12599

• Compete probe range for the various requirements of VAC grid measurement

• Intelligent calibration concept for maximum efficiency

The NEW Cooking Oil Tester Testo 270- Because Every Drop is Valuable

Use of cooking oil which is too old for deep-frying produces inferior quality of food. It may also contain substances which present a risk to health. On the contrary, too early replacement of cooking oil causes wastage.

With the launch of new generation of the proven cooking oil tester testo 270 you can now inspect the quality of cooking oil for producing healthy food even faster. The cooking oil tester testo 270 measures the Total Polar Material (TPM) content in the cooking oil, which is a sure indicator of its quality with best potential of cooking oil between 14 and 20 % TPM. Regular measurement with the testo 270 prevents the use of oil which is too old along with preventing the wastage of cooking oil due to too early replacement thus ensuring the quality of deep-fried foods, and reducing expenditure for cooking oil by up to 20 % and therefore saving cost!

The new cooking oil tester has more robust connections between the housing, the probe shaft and the sensor along with considerably improved probe shaft strength over the previous model. In addition to this, the measuring instrument also fulfils the protection class IP65 even without an additional protective case which makes cleaning it under running water possible – ideal for use in quick-service restaurants.

Ventilation and Air Conditioning Measurement Technology from Testo

VAC measuring instruments from Testo provide the highest level of precision from 0.01 m/s to 9999 m3/h. For any air conditioning and ventilation professional, measuring flow velocity accurately is not easy. Whether for the precise determination of volume flow, quick spot measurements in ducts or recording turbulent flows at outlets – without suitable measuring instruments, it is impossible to ensure optimum indoor air in residential and non-residential buildings

For this reason, Testo offers the optimum solution for every measurement task and measurement range: whether thermal probes, vane anemometers, differential pressure measuring instruments or multifunction instruments. Our patented flow straighteners provide added precision, even in turbulence at outlets. Find information now on how to measure flow velocity more efficiently.

Accurate measurement in ducts

You obtain the most accurate results when you measure directly in the duct. To compensate non-homogenous flows, a grid measurement is recommended. For this purpose, you determine the flow velocity values at several points in the duct cross-section, enter the cross-section dimensions – and your ventilationmeasuring instrument from Testo calculates the mean value and the volume flow for you automatically and reliably.

Precise measurement at outlets

If the ventilation duct is inaccessible, the measurement takes place directly at the outlet. In adjustment work too, the air input and output is tested where the air flows into the room. However, turbulent flows at swirl and plate outlets can severely falsify your measurement results. For this reason, we recommend the use of funnel measuring instruments with a flow straightener (testo 420, testo 417 set 2).

Multifunctional measurement in ducts and at outlets

Multifunction measuring instruments give you as a VAC professional maximum flexibility. The multifunction VAC measuring instruments testo 435-4 and testo 480 can be extended with various probes. In addition to flow velocity, volume flow, temperature and humidity, you measure absolute and differential pressure, light intensity, radiated heat, degree of turbulence and CO2 concentration – with only one instrument.

Secure monitoring of indoor climate values in central functional units in industrial companies – with testo Saveris 2.

As the facility manager of an industrial company, you carry a large responsibility for a number of business critical processes. It is your job to guarantee the technical availability of the systems. If breakdowns of central functional units, such as the air conditioning system, for example, are identified too late, they can cause heat damage to products and machines, resulting in high follow-on costs for the company.

For this reason, the monitoring of ambient parameters such as temperature and humidity is an important indicator for threatening, and already occurring, malfunctions in technical systems. With the automatic WiFi data logger system testo Saveris 2, Testo provides the possibility of measuring ambient data automatically, even at difficult-toaccess locations, and of centralizing them in one system.

Assemblies, air conditioning systems, heating systems, switching cabinets, system components and much more: In order for the overall technical process in an

industrial company to function smoothly, you as the facility manager have to monitor ambient values at many different measurement locations. Some of the measurement locations are difficult to access and are far apart. In a daily business characterized by time-pressure and the processing of malfunctions, it is hardly possible to manage the continuous monitoring of all areas of responsibility which involve a level of risk. This often leads to malfunctions being identified too late. On top of this, as a facility manager you have up to now not been able to be certain of always being right there where you are needed most.

The WiFi data logger system testo Saveris 2, on the other hand, saves the facility manager time, trips and nerves. It very simply assists you in keeping the many measurement locations under control. The alarm function allows roundthe-clock fast reactions to undesired changes in the ambient conditions. For example, temperature measurement on a motor can indicate that it is overheating before an expensive breakdown occurs.

A crucial advantage of testo Saveris 2 is its Cloud-based function. The WiFi data loggers transmit the measurement data automatically by wireless LAN to the online data store (Testo Cloud). The values can be called up anywhere and at all times by PC, Smartphone or tablet. This makes it possible to keep an eye on the temperature and humidity values at the various measurement sites, even in different buildings, without any effort. Bothersome and timeconsuming trips to read out the measurement values are no longer necessary.
