Celsius Midi and Meso non-destructive temperature measurement of food products

Measuring the average temperature of a chilled, frozen or warmed food product can present a real challenge for food manufacturers and retailers. Typically, an inspection would involve a device that measures the product’s surface temperature or the probing of a packaged product, which is invasive and effectively destroys the product.

Celsius Instruments provides a fast, non-destructive method of measuring frozen, chilled and heated products in an easy, repeatable manner. The company offers two instruments: the entry-level Midi; and the larger Meso, which is designed for large, carton-sized products.

With the Celsius range of measurement devices, users can be assured of accurate and consistent measurements using an easy-to-use, easy-to-read measurement device. An incorporated PC enables storage of all results, which can be exported to an IT system for historical tracking. Options include a light beacon and a barcode scanner to make data recording even easier.

The system produces fast, consistent and accurate readings because the temperature measurement is not reliant on the positioning of a temperature probe. It also offers savings in terms of product wastage, packaging, replacement probes and rejected product. It can measure chilled, frozen and warm products ranging in temperature from -30°C to +30°C.
