Monitor product and ambient temperatures through the entire cooking/freezing process
Designed to measure and log true product and environmental temperatures and to deliver reliable, accurate HACCP process validation, the Datapaq Food Tracker System is the ideal solution for demanding food processing applications.
The system is particularly suited to poultry, meat and seafood processing; commercial baking; frozen food production; commercial pasteurization and sterilization; and proving your compliance with HACCP regulations.
Because the Datapaq Food Tracker System can monitor both product and ambient temperatures throughout the entire cooking/freezing process – in both static and conveyorised ovens – it can help you better identify optimal cooking temperatures while still complying with industry standards. The system can also be used in steam cookers, deep fat fryers and blast freezers.
The Datapaq system can be used across a wide range of product and process types, allowing you to easily set up and calibrate ovens, as well as develop new cooking processes. This is achieved thanks to the interchangeable thermocouples, which can be mixed and matched depending on your specific need. The length of the thermocouples can also be customised to suit your exact process requirements.
Features
- Reliable and accurate HACCP temperature profiling systems for demanding food processing applications
- Data logger (6 or 8 Channels) with IP67 waterproofing rating
- Stores up to eight runs before need to download data
- Comprehensive thermal barrier range to suit different process demands
- Powerful yet easy-to-use Insight™ analysis software including process lethality calculations
- Interchangeable thermocouples to suit your range of products
MultiPaq21 Data Logger
The MultiPaq21 data logger has up to eight channels (Type T or K), allowing you to collect product and environmental temperatures from up to eight locations at once. Using flexible thermocouple cables, the temperature sensors can be positioned precisely within the product, on the surface or in the air. They can record temperatures without the data logger or its mass influencing the response characteristics of the sensors and thus, the accuracy of the readings.
The data logger is designed to withstand the most hostile of food processing applications and is rated to IP67 with special waterproof thermocouple connections protecting against steam, water showers and routine cleaning procedures. The logger will store up to eight profiles before it needs to be downloaded.
Thermal Barriers
Employing the same insulation technology as that used in an aircraft's 'black box', Datapaq thermal barriers are housed in a rugged stainless steel casing, designed to last for many years. Datapaq thermal barriers can withstand the harshest industrial cooking environments, including steam cooking, long duration high temperature baking, or even flash frying, where the whole system is submersed in oil.
Unlike some other systems, there is no need to place the data logger inside your product. Since the barrier can be located away from the product, the heating characteristics of the product will not be affected by the monitoring equipment.
Food Tracker Insight Software
Use Insight software to convert raw data into meaningful information about your process, including instant reports on lethality. Document your process for increasing productivity, as well as formal documentation, such as HACCP.
- Process Analysis: Automatically calculate all your process critical control points to satisfy your HACCP requirements.
- Lethality Calculations & Reporting: Employ accurate lethality calculations for the micro-organism risk in your particular process and product (Fo value), ensuring your food is of the highest quality.
- Process Optimization & Fault Finding: Quickly locate the exact position of hot or cold spots in the oven, minimizing production loss.
- Reporting: Generate certified and traceable profile reports to satisfy all your HACCP validation documentation needs.
- Monitoring: Observe the exact moment on your PC when your product reaches the required safe cooking temperature.

Optional Thermocouples
Thermocouples (Type T or K) are supplied with water tight connectors and gold plated connections to provide IP67 rating of the logger. Reliability and accuracy are guaranteed in the most hostile of environments, including steam, water and condensation. Thermocouples can be mixed, matched and interchanged according to the type of process and product. Thermocouple cable lengths can also be customized to match the exact requirements of the process.
