PhoenixTM solution to HACCP Deep Fat Fryer Validation … to boldly go !

As part of any Food processors HACCP program , validation of cook and chill processes is a critical and significant task taking time , effort , and resources .
PhoenixTM have developed a thruprocess temperature monitoring technology specifically for this task designed to meet the numerous cook challenges of the food processing market . Ideal for the validation process for any new cook regime , new product , or annual process certification .
An important innovative system in the PhoenixTM range is that designed specifically to handle the challenging monitoring demands of continuous deep fat fryers . The monitoring system has been designed specifically to travel safely through the oil bath , navigating drops and inclines and provide protection from oil impregnation , heat of the oil and allow accurate and repeatable measurement of the food core being cooked .

At the heart of the system the data logger provides multiple thermocouples ( choice of 6 or 10 channels ). The PhoenixTM NT data logger range has been designed specifically for the challenges of monitoring food processing applications with an IP67 case design protecting from moisture / oil . Type K or Type T data logger options allow accurate measurement of both cook and chill processes ( Type T measurement range -200 ° C to 400 ° C ). The data logger itself can operate between -40 ° C to 80 ° C with a data logger accuracy of ± 0.3 ° C operating below + 50 ° C . Data logger and thermocouple correction factors can be further applied to the recorded data logger data to maximise measurement accuracy . The data logger is protected from submersion in oil by the TS14-050- 2 thermal barrier . The barrier is low height ( 50 mm ) so fits safely through the low height clearance of the fryer line ( Top / bottom belts ) but provide
