Cold chain transportation for fruits Single use temperature data logger with LCD display

The following classification based on the botanical features of the fruits has proved effective for transportation purposes and thus for container transport:

Berry fruit (fresh currants, gooseberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, grapes)

Stone fruit (cherries, plums, apricots, peaches, nectarines)

Pomaceous fruit (apples, pears, quinces)

Wild fruit (elderberries, cranberries)

Tropical and subtropical fruit includes types such as bananas, pineapples, citrus fruit, kiwifruit, mangoes, avocados, together with exotic fruit such as cherimoya, granadillas, guava, Japanese persimmons, starfruit, kumquats, lychees, papaya, passion fruit, ground cherries and others. The high water contents typical of fruit, which range from 80% (plums) to 85% (strawberries), mean that fruit is placed in water content class 3 (WCC 3) and is therefore highly perishable.

Interruption of the cold chain and exceeding the specified temperature may result, depending on the length of interruption, in premature ripening of the fruit. Once fruit ripening has begun, many kinds of fruit start to release the ripening gas ethylene. This gas causes other fruit to begin ripening and, depending on its concentration, considerably accelerates ripening. In some kinds of fruit, e.g. the banana, ripening is a process which, once started, cannot be stopped. Exceeding the maximum upper temperature limit specified for a particular variety of bananas results in "cooked bananas". For this reason, strict compliance with the cold chain must be ensured.

Fresh Tag 10 T is a single use temperature data logger. This data logger is designed for recording and monitoring the temperature changes of sensitive products during their transportation and storage. They can be widely used in each stage of cold chains, such as refrigerated containers, refrigerated trucks, cooler bags, cooling cabinets, medical cabinets, freezers, and laboratories. This series of data loggers feature a large LCD screen for intuitive display. They can work for up to 120 days. Parameters can be configured on our free configuration software. After the trip is finished, connecting this logger to the computer, then PDF/CSV/PDF&CSV reports will be generated automatically without using the software.
