CAS DataLoggers, Chesterland, Ohio, provided a data logging solution for a slaughterhouse with meat lockers storing product requiring continual temperature monitoring. The meat processor also needed proof of best practices to show regulatory compliance and preserve their reputation. For example, their frozen meat needed to be maintained at -4°F and the fresh meat at 29°F. In the event of an air conditioner compressor failure, the meat could easily spoil and pose a health hazard, so management had an immediate need for a reliable yet affordable temperature monitoring and alarming solution.
The slaughterhouse installed an Accsense VersaLog TC Temperature Data Loggerfor each of its three meat lockers, placing the loggers next to the racks so personnel could easily retrieve the data. These battery-powered, stand-alone recorders each feature eight channels for flexible logging in cold chain applications. Each logger monitors the room’s ambient temperature while itsonboard thermistor records temperature from -40°F to 158°F. It also features sevenexternal thermocouple inputs compatible with every type of thermocouple probe.
