Hazard analysis and Critical Control Points or simply known as HACCP has become one of the most important systematic approach specially for the food processing industries as well as any business related to food service. HACCP brings different factors in consideration such as biological, chemical and physical hazards that may affect the quality of the produced food.
One of the key factors that need to be measured during the implementation of HACCP is the temperature as temperature greatly affects the quality of the food. The food service business in today’s world has a tough competition in the market. Everybody in the food industries are trying to raise the quality of their production to succeed in the market. Hence it is necessary to monitor the temperature during the food processing to maintain high quality. Also temperature monitoring helps to prevent different kinds of diseases that are caused by food in the people.
Hence, to maintain the right kind of temperature during the food processing our company Vacker Global proudly presents HACCP Infrared thermometer with probe specially designed for the HACCP system. These thermometers are special type of thermometers as they can measure the temperature of the food during the food process by both contact method and non-contact method.
HACCP Infrared Thermometer with Probe
HACCP infrared thermometer is specially designed thermometer that can measure the temperature of the food items without really coming into contact with the food. It receives the infrared coming from the food and measures it with the help of a sensor in it. It then displays the temperature of the item in its digital display. Although, infrared thermometers can measure the temperature without contact it can only measure the outer surface temperature of the food hence, our HACCP infrared thermometer comes with probe that can measure the temperature of the internal part of the food by contact method. Hence our infrared thermometers are capable of measuring the temperature of the internal and outer surface of the food.
Points to consider during purchase of Infrared Thermometer
- Accuracy of the IR and reading and PR reading should be bought into consideration.
- Check if the temperature ranges can be programmed as per the demand of the HACCP procedures.
- The measuring range of the thermometer should also be considered.
- Check the power or battery life of the thermometer.
- Check if the thermometer can operate accurately in various types of practical environmental condition.
Features of Infrared Thermometer:
There are different models of infrared thermometer that can fulfill your personal as well as your professional requirement for the HACCP procedures. BPS5 is a world class sophisticated infrared thermometer manufactured in Germany by Trotec, Germany. Some of the features of the model are as follows:
- It is a very compact and sophisticated device.
- It possesses a LCD display to show its reading.
- It also comes with timer function.
- The probe in the device can easily be retracted and locked.
- The readings shown by the device is very precise and accurate.
- It is very light and weighs only about 180 grams.
These thermometers are also commonly called as contact and IR thermometers as they are capable of measuring the temperature of the food by the contact method and the IR measurement method. We have designed the thermometer in such a way considering the industrial standards that the reaction time is less than five hundred milliseconds which is considered to be extremely fast. Due to the fast reaction people are more inclined to have this model of thermometer than the typical traditional thermometer.
The HACCP standard mentions that the temperature to maintain the proper condition for safe food should have temperature ranging from -4 degree Celsius to +60 degree Celsius. Hence the thermometer has these limits programmed in it.
We also have food core thermometer for the measurement of temperature of food. Model BT20 is one of the best insertion thermometers available in the market.
Model BT20
Some of the main features of the model are as follows:
- It has a wide range of measuring capability.
- It is very simple to handle and clean.
- It consists of a soft touch rubber protective cover.
- The measuring tip of the thermometer is made up of stainless steel.
- It has a very fast response time.
- The price-performance ratio of the product is optimum.
