Automated temperature recording helps produce processor meet quality certification requirements
CapTemp configured a temperature recording system for remote monitoring and reporting of storage room and pulp fruit temperatures.
CapTemp USA, Windham, N.H., developed an automated temperature recording system for The CPF Group, an organization comprised of pear and apple producers throughout Portugal, to continuously monitor and report ambient temperature and relative humidity of fruit storage units as well as fruit pulp temperatures while in cold storage. The CPF Group maintains storage units in Bombarral, Portugal, for more than 15,000 tons of fruit. Lusopêra, a company originated from the CPF Group, commercializes the fruit production in foreign markets, including Latin America.
The CapTemp temperature recording system ensures the cold storage units maintain ideal conditions for different fruit lots. In addition, monitoring of fruit pulp temperatures enables CPF to extend the life of the fruit while performing heat treatment to fruit lots in response to phytosanitary requirements for export to certain markets such as Colombia and Mexico.
