In the food industry, temperature measurements are part of the daily routine with the quality of food products only able to be tested and guaranteed by precise measurements. The HACCP International approved Testo range of measuring instruments, available from NZ-authorised distributor Eurotec Ltd, a member of Carel Group, can carry out spot-check measurements in seconds.
“Whether in the transport and storage of foods, in restaurants or in large kitchens, wherever temperature needs to be recorded, Testo measures up and helps you keep compliant,” says Rohan Anand, electrical and instrumentation engineer at Eurotec.
He says Testo enables users to guarantee optimal performance in key areas of their business.
When receiving goods, operators must ensure every delivery meets the required standard for temperature and overall quality. Products such as fresh fish or daily fruit and vegetable consignments often spend long periods in transit before reaching the premises, which increases the need for reliable checks on arrival. The Testo 831 infrared thermometer supports this process by enabling fast, precise temperature measurement of full pallets as well as individual items, even from a distance.
“Maintaining control during transport is equally important, as perishable foods are highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations,” says Anand. Fruit and vegetables can ripen too quickly if exposed to warmth, while bacteria can grow in meat and dairy products under the same conditions.
An unbroken cold chain is essential.
“The Testo 184 series of cool chain temperature loggers provides continuous monitoring of temperature and humidity while goods are in transit. With battery life of up to 150 days, the devices track and record conditions over long distances, supplying operators with clear, actionable data that supports food safety and compliance.”
