FOOD EQUIPMENT FOCUS
 

The task of providing exact and repeatable control is critically important to any process. When the process in question is the manufacturing of a food product, it is even more important that temperature, humidity, pH, agitation, pressure and other variables be maintained at desired levels - time, after time, after time.

Eurotherm offers a suite of electronic-based products that will assist in this pursuit. From simple ovens to complex washers, we provide our customers with instruments that allow them to achieve their food manufacturing goals:

Eurotherm's control products are especially appropriate for ...
  • Ovens
  • Conveyor Ovens
  • Combi Ovens
  • Warmers
  • Proofers
  • Steamers
  • Rangers
  • Rotisseries
  • Re-Thermalizers
  • Fryers
  • Washers

  • Customizable firmware solutions
  • Control and alarm functions
  • Multiple display options
  • Customizable overlays
  • Multiple outputs and inputs
  • Integrated timer with buzzer
  • Optional digital communications
  • UL recognized

Engineered Control Solutions for OEMs

 

 

For advanced control requirements that need more than simple temperature control, Eurotherm offers the ACC.  The ACC is an analog computer that can accommodate multiple control loops (temperature, humidity, pressure, etc) as well as logical PLC functions.

 

At Eurotherm, we use the ACC to engineer a customized control engine and machine interface for an OEM’s food processing equipment.

  • Range of display options
  • SMART adaptive tuning
  • High-speed measurement and control
  • Modular signal conditioning IO options
  • Statistical and math functions
  • Sequence and logic functions
  • Secure data-logging
  • Process protection alarms
  • Macro language programming
  • Range of communication options

 

Solid-State Relays


For those food processing applications that use electrical heating for temperature control, Eurotherm offers a wide range of solid state relays and solid state contactors.  Solid state relays are a vast improvement over electro-mechanical and mercury-based contactors. Solid state devices last much longer than conventional switches and do not cause electrical noise


Data Recording and Data Management

For commercial kitchen managers, there is growing pressure to ensure that food is cooked and prepared the same, time-after-time, and always in a safe manner. For larger food processors, regulatory organizations are beginning to require that proof-of-process is archived and maintained in a tamper-proof-manner.

To meet these requirement, Eurotherm offers a range of data recorders that can log food preparation conditions and present this information in a flexible secure and consistent manner. Eurotherm's data recorders securely log information in a number of industries including food preparation, pharmaceutical manufacturing, aerospace and automotive.

Sensors

Eurotherm originated as a provider of electronic temperature controls. Of course every temperature controller or indicator requires a sensor. Eurotherm manufactures a wide range of thermocouples and RTDs to fit ANY temperature measurement application.
