Temperature measurement on food production lines plays an important role in maintaining consistent product quality. In this video, we look at specialised applications such as measuring on conveyors, through glass, and in high ambient environments using infrared sensors.
Following our previous application note on temperature monitoring in food production, we explore more specialised scenarios, including measuring products on conveyors and through packaging using infrared sensors.
Temperature measurement on food production lines plays an important role in maintaining consistent product quality. In the following video, we look at how non-contact infrared (IR) sensors provide a hygienic and reliable alternative to traditional contact temperature probes, and highlight two IR sensor solutions for this type of application.
Temperature measurement of food items on a production line is crucial for consistent quality management. The following application note covers two common challenges faced by the food industry in temperature monitoring and explains how our non-contact infrared sensors provide an effective solution.
PyroMiniBus sensors are designed to measure the surface temperature of non-reflective materials in industrial applications, from -20°C to 1000°C. Using Modbus RTU communication, multiple PyroMiniBus sensors can be connected on a single network, making it easy to monitor temperature across hundreds of measurement points. Sensors can be connected directly to a Modbus master or expanded … Continue reading Scalable Non-contact Temperature Monitoring
The protective window models PWS, PWL and SIWS are designed to help protect the lens of Calex infrared temperature sensors from mechanical damage, and to help retain fragments of the lens if it is damaged. These windows may be used with sensors that have a measurement wavelength of 8 to 14 µm and an adjustable … Continue reading Protective windows for Calex IR sensors

The ExTemp non-contact infra-red temperature sensor is designed to operate safely in hazardous areas, where there is a risk of explosion due to flammable vapours or dusts. It is certified “Intrinsically Safe” so there is no need for a bulky flameproof enclosure. The ExTemp is suitable for hazardous areas, Zone 0, 1 and 2 (gas), … Continue reading Calex Intrinsically Safe Infrared Temperature Sensors
The PyroUSB is a compact infra-red temperature sensor with a 2-wire, 4 to 20mA output. It has a USB port at the back which, when connected via the supplied cable to a PC running free Calex software, permits full configuration plus temperature visualisation, data acquisition and on-screen alarm setting. Pre configuration does not require … Continue reading PyroUSB or PyroMiniUSB – which sensor is best suited for my application?
Customers looking for a low-cost system to measure up to eight surface temperatures and display the readings on a digital indicator should consider the Calex PyroMiniBus Infrared Temperature Sensor, supplied with a Pixsys STR571 indicator.
