13 Food Tracker with Humidity Sensor Introduced
Datapaq introduces a new generation of the Food Tracker temperature profiling system with a humidity sensor for even more comprehensive data on food processes. The capacitive sensor provides both relative humidity and temperature data in processes from -50 to 200°C. It is ideal for baking applications such as dough proving where the moisture level is critical to product quality and yield. The humidity sensor is connected to the data logger along with up to eight type T thermocouples. While the logger is protected by a thermal barrier, the sensors can be placed directly within the product, on the surface, or in the air.
The Food Tracker enables HACCP-compliant documentation. The data logger has a large non-volatile memory that can be read out when the device exits the process. Additionally, an optional integrated radio transmitter provides the ability to send real-time temperature data to receivers outside the process, enabling instant parameter review and adjustment. The tested and proven radio telemetry system operates on license-exempt frequencies and is approved for use in Europe and other regions. The accompanying Insight software enables comprehensive analysis including functions such as microorganism lethality calculations (Fo, Pu). The system can be configured to generate alarms at critical control points. It allows users to adjust process temperatures to approximate the ideal values and thus optimise productivity and operating costs. A choice of thermal barriers affords suitable protection in static and conveyor ovens, steam cookers, deep fat fryers, and freezers. Further accessories include food trays and thermocouple jigs.

New Range of Reliable Viscometers and Texture Analysers
Using springless technology, the new range of viscometers and texture analysers from Meritics offer better reliability and less maintenance requirements than many conventional systems. Laboratory units, in-line units and a portable system are all available complete with a wide range of measurement heads to allow measurements to many ISO, DIN and ASTM standards.
A low shear model using very small quantities of sample has just been released and temperature controlled systems and high temperature systems are available.
The Tex’An 200 offers a quick and complete texture analysis of the consistency, elasticity and adhesivity of samples.

Redesigned Mini Automatic Titrators for Wine Analysis Launched
Hanna Instruments is pleased to announce the release of two new mini automatic titrators designed specifically for wine production. The new titrators, HI 84500 and HI 84502, are designed to measure sulphur dioxide (SO2) and total acidity, parameters essential in the art of wine making. These units replace HI 84100 and HI 84102 and feature improved accuracy with a high precision piston dosing system and compact, space saving footprint. They also feature automatic stirrer speed control, a graphic mode with exportable data and a Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) feature which allows users to view calibration data.
“Hanna Instruments understands that small variations in acidity and sulphur dioxide content can have a significant impact on the overall quality and stability of wine.” said Paul Fabsits, Vice President of Global Business Development for Hanna Instruments. “The more accurate the instrumentation, the more consistent the results will be. By incorporating a new precision piston style dosing system and an algorithm for dynamic dosing, we have been able to take an already accurate product and improve it significantly.”
In addition to performing automatic titrations, these units provide the added benefit of doubling as an mV/ORP meter (HI 84500) and a pH/mV meter (HI 84502). This added usability gives users the ability to consolidate some of their processes, saving time and money.
Hanna’s new mini titrators will be available through any of their 40 international locations. These offices provide Hanna customers with local service, support and training and are part of Hanna’s goal to provide an exceptional customer experience.
