Product Overview
MadgeTech’s redesigned CTL2000 Carcass Temperature data logger is a rugged, one of a
kind solution for temperature monitoring during carcass pasteurization cycles. Equipped
with eight thermocouple ports, the CTL2000 monitors and records the temperatures
of various sections of the carcass during pasteurization, providing a continuous and
accurate temperature profile to verify and validate that harmful microorganisms are
effectively depleted.
The durable enclosure is drop tested and designed to survive the elements of the
slaughter environment. The top of the enclosure is made of food grade stainless steel
with an industrial quality custom machined base that skirts the thermocouple ports to
guard against debris infiltration and harsh wash down cycles. The quality materials and
form factor options were chosen using sanitary standards and guidelines, and made
with materials certified for direct food contact as described by NSF-51.
Measuring only eight inches in length and weighing only three pounds, the CTL2000 is
easy to handle and hangs securely from the carcass by a single stainless steel hook. This
device is capable of withstanding temperatures from -20 °C to 100 °C (-4 °F to +212 °F),
allowing it to monitor the entire pasteurization process.
Each channel of the CTL2000 can store up to 129,024 readings which aids in the
logging of multiples cycles. Reading rate capabilities range from as fast as four readings
per second or as infrequently as one reading every 24 hours. The CTL2000 operates on
user replaceable batteries and features a pushbutton start option directly on the device.
Delayed start is user programmable from within the MadgeTech Software for up to six
months in advance.
