The Datapaq Food Tracker temperature profiling systems consist of a data logger, a protective thermal barrier, and Insight software. With a Datapaq system, you can ensure the quality and safety of your cooked meats, poultry, bakery items, and ready-to-eat meals.

Built to endure the toughest environments, Datapaq systems move alongside your food products through ovens or freezers, creating a comprehensive record of temperatures. You can monitor the product temperature throughout the entire cook or freeze cycle, whether in static or conveyorized ovens, steam cookers, deep fat fryers, or blast freezers.

Our thermal profiling systems streamline your production process while ensuring compliance with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) food safety regulations. The Datapaq® Food Tracker Thermal Profiling System provides precise temperature traceability throughout the cooking, chilling, and freezing processes. Explore our list of applications below or reach out to us with your specific food application needs.

• Poultry, Meat, and Seafood Processing
• Commercial Bread and Confectionery Baking
• Commercial Pasteurization and Sterilization
• Ready Meals

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.

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.

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 be customized to match the
exact requirements of the process. Using cables, the temperature
sensor is positioned away from the data logger thermal barrier in
the product, preventing the thermal mass of the data logger from
affecting the heating characteristics of the product being measured.
Unlike systems which require the measurement device to be
placed inside the product to protect from the oven temperature,
the measurement made by the Multipaq system is an accurate
representation of what the product experiences during a normal
production run.
