PCE-IR 100 - Penetration and Infrared Food Thermometer 220°C

Temperature plays an important role in the storage and transportation of perishable foods. The digital food thermometer from PCE Instruments is a retractable penetration probe infrared thermometer specially designed to quickly and efficiently check the temperature on the surface and core of food. With the help of an infrared thermometer, the user can perform a simple quality control of food products and check whether the handling complies with the HACCP standard. The concept of HACCP quality (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) has been created to prevent hygiene risks during the production and handling of food and ensures the quality, safety and shelf life of food.

The user-friendly food thermometer combines contact and non-contact temperature measurement in one device.

The wide measurement range for determining core temperature using a penetration probe is between -55 and +330 degrees Celsius. During non-contact infrared measurement, the food thermometer registers temperatures between -33 and +220 degrees Celsius, with a response time of less than 500 ms. The readings on the LCD display are quite legible. Colored LEDs below the display indicate whether the detected temperature meets HACCP requirements. The preheating, heat preservation and cooling processes can be monitored thanks to the permanent measurement function of the infrared food thermometer. In addition, the food thermometer allows the display of maximum and minimum measurement values ​​at the touch of a button with the additional ability to change the unit from Celsius to Fahrenheit. Even under difficult measurement conditions, the PCE-100 IR ensures maximum reliability and accurate results.

Applications

Food business operators are required to comply with cold chain maintenance and record the temperature of food products under the circumstances. The PCE Instruments food thermometer is universally applicable and can be an ideal companion for food processors, service specialists and food inspectors.

In a simple and effective way, it allows the user to determine if the temperature of the food is within the HACCP limits. According to the HACCP directive, compliance with a temperature range below 4ºC and above 60ºC is considered an important benchmark to avoid the growth and proliferation of micro-organisms harmful to health. The food thermometer is ideal for reliable instant analysis, has versatile applications and is easy to use. The waterproof housing allows easy cleaning of the thermometer. Thanks to its easy handling, the food thermometer is ideal for determining the temperature of food within seconds. Its easy-to-use and robust design makes it possible to use the food thermometer anytime and anywhere.

- Adjustable emission factor (preset value for food)
- Short response time
- HOLD, MIN, MAX functions
- Continuous measurement function
- ISO calibration (can be confirmed by Dakks) (thermometers are delivered calibrated)
- Waterproof (washable casing)

The infrared food thermometer combines non-contact (scanning) surface measurement and core temperature measurement in one measuring device. This provides the first, quick overview of the temperature situation as well as the reduction of the infrared measurement due to the values ​​obtained from the integrated penetration sensor (sample). Particularly noteworthy is the built-in continuous measurement function. Temperature-time sequences can therefore be monitored, e.g. preheating, maintenance and cooling procedures.

HACCP rules have been established to ensure consistent product quality and the avoidance of hazardous hygiene conditions. When measuring temperature with the PCE-IR100 food thermometer, the integrated measuring point illumination shows exactly the area on the surface of the measuring object detected by the thermometer. Thus, false readings are reliably excluded.
