Ready meals sterilisation and pasteurisation
Measuring instruments and expertise adapted to the ready meals sterilisation
Temperature measurement

Sensor support
For ready meals sterilisation, the respect of heat process is a priority to avoid overcooking. Axitherm offers 3 models of data loggers suitable for temperature measurement. HeatLOG, ThinLOG or AXImicro loggers are designed for all your demanding applications:
• Extreme miniaturization for all the finest and smallest packaging.
• Supports vacuum and high pressure.
• Perfect for mapping with a high density load.
Control deformation during ready meals sterilisation

Deformation sensors
For consumers, the first indication of the quality of a product is the physical appearance of the packaging to the act of buying. Perfect geometry is therefore important for both safety and marketing.
• The probe for direct reading of deformation of pots and plates is common in baby food sterilisation.
• Can be placed on all sides to solve targeted defects.
• Adjustment of schedule to optimize thermal transfer or reduce packaging thickness.
Vacuum measurement in ready meals sterilisation
Services and expertise for Ready meals sterilisation
Product development and improvement:
