Description
The Testo 826-T4 Penetration Infrared Thermometer is an essential tool for rigorous food safety controls, particularly during incoming goods inspections. This versatile instrument enables swift temperature scans via infrared measurement, preserving the integrity of your products. When temperature limits are approached or exceeded, its permanently attached penetration probe provides precise core temperature measurements, vital for items like yoghurts, meats, and cheeses.
Designed for the demands of the food industry, the Testo 826-T4 is HACCP-compliant and EN 13485 certified, making it a reliable choice for monitoring both incoming and outgoing goods, as well as in food manufacturing. Its dual functionality offers both rapid surface checks and definitive core temperature verification, ensuring full adherence to critical food safety regulations.
