PhoenixTM solution to HACCP Deep Fat Fryer Validation ……. to boldly go!
As part of any Food processors HACCP program, validation of cook processes is a critical and significant task taking time, effort, and resources.
PhoenixTM have developed a thruprocess temperature monitoring technology specifically to meet the numerous cook challenges of the food processing market. Ideal for the HACCP validation process for new cook regime, 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 system travels 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.
The PhoenixTM NT data logger 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. The data logger is protected from submersion in oil by the TS14-50-2 thermal barrier. The barrier is low height( 50 mm) but provide impressive protection of 25 mins @ 200 ° C( Oil) or 50 mins( Air). The face plate design of the barrier allows easy access to the data logger and quick efficient exchange of thermocouple cables.
A critical component of the system is the unique food tray. Probing of the product can be done away from the processing line with care and no need to rush.

The customised thermocouple positions are fixed so that probe or product movement during the run is minimised.
Test conditions are maintained also from run to run across the fryer width. Employing the tray principle, the whole monitoring system can be placed on the fryer line by a single operative safely and efficiently during a production run. The unique saw tooth guide rails fitted to the tray allow efficient true transfer( no rotation) through the whole process. Both entrance decline and demanding exit incline can be negotiated without slipping / stalling which could leave the system stuck / stranded in process.
The PhoenixTM Thermal View Food Software provides a comprehensive suite of analysis tools including calculation of Fo / Pu values.
The information gathered, further to process validation is essential to maximise product quality, yield, process productivity and efficiency.
