MADGETECH INC. INTRODUCES HITEMP150-TSK, HIGH TEMPERATURE LOGGER AND THERMAL SHIELD
The recent nationwide recall of salmonella tainted nut products created a demand for devices that thoroughly monitor nut processing to ensure the quality of the final product.
In response to the demand, MadgeTech developed the HiTemp150-TSK, a logging system which includes a HiTemp150 data logger and thermal shield. The system was designed to monitor and record the extreme temperatures required in peanut processing. The HiTemp150-TSK is fully submersible, and can withstand temperatures in air up to 150ºC indefinitely, 200ºC for 45 minutes, and 250ºC for 32 minutes. Although the HiTemp150-TSK was designed for nut processes such as dry blanching and oil roasting, it is versatile, and can be used in other applications such as meat processing, food processing, autoclave validation and conveyor oven monitoring.
