The combined food environmental meter PCE-IR 100 is designed to ensure rapid, precise, and hygienically safe temperature monitoring at every stage of the food chain, from production to transport and catering. Its key feature is the ability to perform both non-contact measurements, using infrared technology, and direct contact measurements through a foldable insertion probe that can be placed inside the product. This dual mode allows reliable monitoring of both surface and core temperatures in cooked, raw, or frozen foods, fully in line with HACCP standards.

Operation is simple and intuitive. In infrared mode, the instrument projects a light spot that precisely marks the measurement area, thus avoiding errors and minimizing the risk of contamination. When internal temperature control is required, the foldable probe ensures direct and accurate contact measurements with very short response times. Evaluation of results is further simplified by the integrated colored LED indicators, which clearly show whether the measured temperature is within the hygienic safety limits.

Technical Data:

The PCE-IR 100 is a practical daily tool for operators and inspectors, supporting them in monitoring the cold chain and preventing hygiene risks. Correct monitoring of the time–temperature relationship is a critical factor for food safety and consistent product quality, particularly during storage, transportation, and preservation. Accurate thermal control also makes it possible to reduce the use of preservatives by relying on natural methods such as cooling or heating to extend shelf life.

With its robust, hygienic, and easy-to-clean design, the PCE-IR 100 is suitable for all areas of the food industry, including production, processing, logistics, and distribution, as well as professional kitchens, catering services, and restaurants. Advanced functions such as MIN/MAX value recording, extended measurement options, and optional ISO certification make it an extremely versatile instrument, fully compliant with strict quality control requirements.

The PCE-IR 100 is therefore a practical and reliable solution for professionals who need to ensure consistency, safety, and regulatory compliance in food handling, offering both the speed of non-contact infrared measurement and the accuracy of direct core measurement in one compact and professional device.
