PCE Instruments PCE-IR 100-ICA Non-contact Infrared Food Thermometer with Core Probe w/ ISO Certificate

The temperature plays an important role in the storage and transportation of perishable foodstuffs. The digital Food Thermometer from PCE Instruments is an infrared thermometer with a fold-out penetration probe designed specifically to quickly and effectively control the surface and core temperature of food. With the help of the infrared food thermometer, the user can carry out an uncomplicated quality control of the food products and check whether the handling complies with the HACCP standard. The HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) quality concept has been created to prevent hygienic risks during the production and handling of food and it ensures the quality, safety and shelf life of the foodstuffs.

The user-friendly food thermometer combines contact and non-contact temperature measurement in one device. In order to avoid the risk of contamination with germs and, thus, to protect the examined food, the manufacturer has equipped the food thermometer with an infrared sensor. This allows carrying out a non-contact measurement of the surface temperature with the help of the food thermometer. By means of a fold-out penetration probe, the food thermometer additionally registers the temperature in the core area. The infrared food thermometer is ready for use quickly and reliably determines the temperature of the food products even a few seconds after its commissioning.

The large measuring range for determining the core temperature by using a penetration probe is between -55 and +330 degrees Celsius. During the non-contact infrared measurement, the food thermometer captures temperatures between -33 and +220 degrees Celsius, with a reaction time of less than 500 ms. On the display of the food thermometer, the results are clearly visible. The colored LEDs below the display indicate whether the detected temperature meets the HACCP requirements. Warming-up, warmth maintenance and cooling-down processes can be monitored due to the permanent-measurement function of the infrared food thermometer. In addition, the food thermometer allows for the display of the maximum and minimum measurement values at the touch of a button and switches from Celsius to Fahrenheit on demand. Even under difficult measuring conditions, the food thermometer ensures maximum reliability and precise measurement results.
