PhoenixTM solution to HACCP Cook & Chill CCP Validation
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 challenges of the food processing market . Ideal for the validation process for any new cook regime , new product , or annual process certification . Whether performing an oven survey “ oven mapping to identify cold spots ” or validating the cook under production conditions , the thru-process profiling solution gives you the accuracy , efficiency , and reliability you need to satisfy your HACCP demands .
As its name suggests thru-process profiling is the method by which product and or process temperature is monitored throughout the complete cook / chill process .
Monitoring of continuous conveyorised linear and spiral ovens and semicontinuous or rotational batch cooks is feasible where the use of external recorders with trailing thermocouples is tedious , impractical , and unsafe .
Employing the thru-process principal process monitoring can be performed under true production conditions without compromising line productivity .
At the heart of the thru-process monitoring system is the PhoenixTM data logger .
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 . Type K or Type T data logger options allow accurate measurement of both cook and chill processes . 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 maximise measurement accuracy .
PhoenixTM offer a family of thermal barriers to suit the process type , duration , and temperatures of a wide range of cook regimes .
An extensive range of different thermocouple types is also available to suit different product types , sizes and monitoring demands .
The PhoenixTM Thermal View Food Software provides a comprehensive suite of analysis tools to convert the raw profile temperature data into useful process information . The analysis tools include the ability to calculate Fo / Pu values for the process against target microorganisms .
The information gathered , further to process validation , can be used to allow informed process problem solving and optimisation to maximise product quality , yield , process productivity and efficiency .
