Compact core temperature probe for food and catering applications

GES 20

Compact needle shaped core temperature probe for food applications, measuring -40 … +550°C, -70 … +250°C or -200 … +250°C with Type K, Pt100 or Pt1000 sensors, V4A stainless steel tip, PTFE cable and IP65 protection.

Introduction

Reliable core temperature checks are essential in food production, professional kitchens and catering. This insertion probe supports quality control and HACCP-oriented monitoring in meat products, frozen goods, baked goods, and cooling or cooking processes.
 
The needle-shaped tip enters food with minimal disruption, starting from Ø 1.5 mm, while the V4A stainless steel probe tube is food-safe, corrosion-resistant and easy to clean. For different temperature tasks, the family offers Type K, Pt100 and Pt1000 sensor versions with measuring ranges up to -40 … +550°C, -70 … +250°C or -200 … +250°C.
 
Built for daily handling, the compact Teflon handle, PTFE cable and stainless steel kink protection support long service life under demanding conditions. IP65 water protection helps the probe withstand splash exposure, and optional ISO/IEC 17025 or ISO 9001 calibration is available with a suitable display device.

Features

Sensor variants

The family includes Type K thermocouple, Pt1000 2-wire and Pt100 4-wire from handle variants.

Probe construction

The probe uses an insertion tube made from AISI 316, material 1.4401, V4A stainless steel with a compact PTFE handle, which are easy to clean and resistant to aggressive cleaning agents.

Connection options

Depending on the interated sensor elelemnt,versions are available with miniature flat-pin plug, BNC plug, M12 connector or loose ends with wire end ferrules.

Response behavior

The probe reaches T90 in less than 1 s in water at 0.4 m/s and approximately 12 s in air at 2 m/s.
