Temperature profiling in food manufacturing

The Grant OQ606 oven logger, successfully used in the paint and finishing industry, has now been adapted for use in non-paint applications, including food manufacturing

The Grant OQ606 oven logger, successfully used in the paint and finishing industry, has now been adapted for use in non-paint applications.

The OQ606 comes free with SquirrelView software (V1.03), which now has a new temperature profiling feature.

By using this feature, it is very quick and easy to establish what has happened to a product whilst in the oven.

For example, has it been at the right temperature for the right amount of time.

Squirrelview calculates the "cure time" to allow for a batch to be quickly passed or failed.

Previously, this function was available only in the Grant Paintwise software.

In addition to changes in software, a new range of barriers are available in various sizes and different grades of finish for protecting the OQ606 when used in high temperature applications.

These changes make the OQ606 suitable for use in food manufacturing applications including the manufacturing of cakes, bread, confectionery, meat, fish, poultry, beverages, dairy products, pizza, pasta and ready made meals.

Also suitable for use in chillers, freezers, cold stores, blast freezers, freezing tunnels and refrigerated transport.

Other applications include surface coatings, including use in conveyor and rack ovens along with use in kilns and furnaces for manufacturing of bricks, ceramics, white ware and pottery and in the heat treatment of metals and glassware.
