Where can frozen thermometers be used?

Due to Australia’s hot and humid climate, food manufacturers face many hurdles to ensure that the products that they send to the supermarket and beyond are up-to-standard.

These factors, combined with the growing population and the amount of food people consume, manufacturers have to be able to keep up with demand without compromising quality.

One sector of the food industry under extreme pressure is the frozen food market. With the storage and transportation of food so important, it’s vital manufacturers take steps to ensure quality when it gets to consumers. This can be achieved through the use of devices such as the testo 105 – Frozen Food Thermometer.

Where can these thermometers be useful?

1) In trucks

As Australia’s agricultural heartlands are spread far and wide, freight companies are tasked with transporting frozen goods such as meat and dairy products across vast distances.

With some trips taking several hours, it is vital products are checked on a regular basis. Drivers are able to use the thermometers during breaks to check the truck is still at the right temperature. If there is an issue, then a visual or audible alarm will alert drivers to the problem which can then be addressed before the food is spoiled.

2) In abattoirs

Australia produces some of the best meat in the world. As such, there is serious demands for these products from overseas nations such as China and Russia.

As trade between Australia and these countries continues to flourish, those at the beginning of the process in the slaughterhouse must ensure good meat quality. An optional long 200mm measurement tip means workers can deeply test the meat to ensure it is still at the right temperature while it is stored.

3) In refrigerated storerooms

Before the products go on sale to the general public in supermarkets, many products sit in refrigerated storerooms. During this time, it’s vital to keep quality high and the threat of bacteria low.

To achieve this, businesses must constantly check the temperature of frozen products waiting to be put onto the shelves. One of the benefits of the testo 105 – Frozen Food Thermometer is that there are two user-defined limit values so both temperature extremes can be monitored. This means that storeroom managers can set upper and lower values based on what the product is.
