Save money , waste and the planet ... all with one solution
With the rapid increase in the cost of buying materials to keep businesses running , and with the added pressure of trying to help and preserve the planet , businesses are looking to cut costs and wastage .
INTRODUCING THE CELSIUSCHECKER !
The Cerulean CelsiusChecker offers a fast , accurate method for nondestructive , non-invasive temperature measurement . By measuring the temperature of products without damaging the outer packaging or the product itself , the CelsiusChecker drastically reduces waste and increases throughput and profit . Measurement is performed using a microwave principle thermometer , which reports the equilibrium temperature rather than the surface or core temperature of the product , therefore producing improved consistency of readings as measurements are not reliant on the positioning of a probe , meaning no hot or cold spots are inadvertently missed .
Traditional methods of testing food temperature involve the insertion of a metal probe to the centre or thickest part of the food and then leaving in place until the reading stabilises . The probe then has to be thoroughly cleansed and disinfected before use on the next sample . Typically this will also involve the breaking of the packaging seal so that the item is no longer fit for consumption and must be discarded . Any food waste may be used for animal feed or biogas production , the packaging may be recycled or sent to landfill but only after separation .

EXPERIENCE OF JOUBERE LTD .
Joubere Ltd ., a privately held food manufacturing company based in Gillingham , Dorset , UK , was researching new solutions to decrease plant costs while improving performance . Joubere
produces 28 tonnes of products per day – mostly sauces , soups and ready meals ; it follows that there is a significant opportunity for cutting costs by decreasing the waste of food samples and packaging . So , Joubere reached out to Cerulean for partnership , and Cerulean provided a CelsiusChecker unit for evaluation and later lease . It didn ’ t take long for Joubere to realise the economic benefit !
Thanks to CelsiusChecker , Joubere saved over 2000 plastic pots and pouches per day , equivalent to more than 350 tonnes of food in a twelvemonth period . As the plastic pits and pouches are disposed at a cost of £ 0.50 per piece , this results in a cost cut of over £ 1,000 a day , equating to over £ 250,000 per year . Since the lease of the CelsiusChecker costs considerably less than £ 1000 per week , by Joubere ’ s estimations , the first month ’ s rental fee was repaid just after Friday lunchtime of the very first week of the month .
