The Datapaq Food Tracker temperature profiling systems are comprised of a data logger, protective thermal barrier and Insight software. With a Datapaq system, you can guarantee the quality and safety of your cooked meats, poultry, bakery products and ready-to-eat meals.

Datapaq systems, designed to withstand the harshest environments, travel through the oven or freezer with the food product, making a complete record of product temperatures. You can monitor the product temperature of the entire cook/freeze cycle in either static or conveyorized ovens, as well as in steam cookers, deep fat fryers and blast freezers.

MultiPaq21 Data Logger

The MultiPaq21 data logger has up to eight channels (Type T or K), allowing you to collect product and environmental temperatures from up to eight locations at once. Using flexible thermocouple cables, the temperature sensors can be positioned precisely within the product, on the surface or in the air. They can record temperatures without the data logger or its mass influencing the response characteristics of the sensors and thus, the accuracy of the readings.

The data logger is designed to withstand the most hostile of food processing applications and is rated to IP67 with special waterproof thermocouple connections protecting against steam, water showers and routine cleaning procedures. The logger will store up to eight profiles before it needs to be downloaded.

Thermal Barriers

Employing the same insulation technology as that used in an aircraft's 'black box', Datapaq thermal barriers are housed in a rugged stainless steel casing, designed to last for many years. Datapaq thermal barriers can withstand the harshest industrial cooking environments, including steam cooking, long duration high temperature baking, or even flash frying, where the whole system is submersed in oil.

Unlike some other systems, there is no need to place the data logger inside your product. Since the barrier can be located away from the product, the heating characteristics of the product will not be affected by the monitoring equipment.

Food Tracker Insight Software

Use Insight software to convert raw data into meaningful information about your process, including instant reports on lethality. Features include:

Process Analysis: Automatically calculate all process critical control points to satisfy your HACCP requirements.
Lethality Calculations & Reporting: Employ accurate lethality calculations for the micro-organism risk in your particular process and product (Fo value), ensuring your food is of the highest quality.
Process Optimization & Fault Finding: Quickly locate the exact position of hot or cold spots in the oven, minimizing production loss.
Reporting: Generate certified and traceable profile reports to satisfy all your HACCP validation documentation needs.
Monitoring: Observe the exact moment on your PC when your product reaches the required safe cooking temperature.

Thermocouples

Thermocouples (Type T or K) are supplied with water tight connectors and gold plated connections to provide IP67 rating of the logger. Reliability and accuracy are guaranteed in the most hostile of environments, including steam, water and condensation. Thermocouples can be mixed, matched and interchanged according to the type of process and product. Thermocouple cable lengths can also be customized to match the exact requirements of the process.
