Sterilisation and Pasteurisation
Recording
The Thermologger series of data loggers monitors pasteurisation and sterilisation temperatures in cans, bottles, jars or other containers "actually in the autoclave or tunnel process" with the product
The Thermologger series of data loggers, available from jdl, monitors pasteurisation and sterilisation temperatures in cans, bottles, jars or other containers "actually in the autoclave or tunnel process", with the product Verifying these temperatures and the time that the temperatures are present in the product is vital to the final quality of the product delivered to the consumer

The data validation feature in ACR TrendReader standard software, available from JDL is used to inform the viewer that the printed or electronic data logger data file has not been modified at all
Intrinsically safe temperature data logger
The JR-1001 intrinsically safe temperature recorder is an electronic recording device designed to measure and record changes in temperature at user set intervals in hazardous areas
The system consists of a TDL thermologger, battery operated by a high temperature user replaceable lithium battery, measuring only 70 dia.
by 30mm and giving the user more than a years logging (depending on duty cycle selected from 1 second to 3 minutes).
Four models are available to select from, with a measurement base of TDL85 - range 0C to 85C, TDL100 - range 0C to 100C, TDL130 - 0C to 130C.
All these models use RTD (PT100four wire) DIN ITS90 Grade A sensors offering an accuracy of 0.1C.
TDL85DS has a digital sensor with 0.5C accuracy at low cost.
Win Pasteur software complements the thermologger and offers the user facilities for reporting in graphical or tabular format, plus calculating and reporting pasteurisation units (PU), T Max, pasteurising time and time above a preset temperature.
These are all vital statistics in the field of quality control in pasteurisation and sterilisation processes.
This data can be exported into other programmes if required.
Useful accessories include probes of various lengths, a smart cable for logger to PC interface.
The CP-60 calibration plug provides an easy to use 60C +/-0.1C calibration facility for Thermologger data loggers, and can be used to verify the accuracy of the system.
CA-300A is a system calibration adapter that verifies and checks the Thermologgers electronic accuracy with an RTD (PT-100 simulator).
"Set it up, throw it in the process to check that the temperatures and time exposures are correct, and it prints out QA reports quick and easily.".
