The food industry must maintain tight control of food temperatures during the transportation of perishable food materials, during preparation and processing, and all the way through storage in wholesale and retail environments. Infrared cameras are the ideal solution for assuring that temperature tolerances are maintained throughout all of these operations. In addition, infrared thermography can instantly reveal the condition of electrical and mechanical systems in the factory, warehouse, retail stores, and refrigerator trailers, including cooking vessels, ovens, heat exchangers,
compressors, electrical connections, freezers, motors and motor
control centers, breaker panels, disconnect switches, transformers,
substations, switchgear and circuit breakers. Infrared cameras can
instantly reveal problems with little or no physical disassembly of
the premises or equipment and minimal disturbance of operations.
FLIR ThermaCAM cameras can detect temperature differences as small
as 0.1 degree Celsius. Frozen food is typically stored at -18
degrees Celsius or colder depending on its ingredients. Food held in
warmer air for only a few minutes will start to thaw, deteriorating
product quality. ThermaCAM can help maintenance personnel identify
faulty components, suggest a course of action, and make repairs
before refrigeration and freezer units shut down and product is
lost.
FLIR ThermaCAM and ThermoVision infrared cameras are lightweight and
rugged for use in the field. They instantly capture and record
high-resolution thermographic images on-board for subsequent
downloading to a PC. They can also output full-motion infrared video
records in real-time to a video recorder. Interchangeable lenses and
a wide range of accessories can accommodate all of the situations
you will encounter.
