We provide an extensive selection of thermal processing equipment designed to meet the rigorous standards of the food industry.
We provide advanced measurement loggers (temperature, pressure, deflection etc) that are crucial for monitoring and recording data throughout the food processing cycle. These loggers ensure a deeper understanding of your processes as well as compliance and food safety by accurately tracking temperatures your process in various environments.

We offer reliable industrial retorts that are designed for high-capacity thermal kill at an industrial scale. Each piece of equipment is engineered to deliver outstanding performance and support your operational needs, ensuring that you maintain efficiency and the highest levels of food safety and quality.
These systems are not only used in ambient production but also lend themselves to chilled and frozen production environments where a lethal thermal kill step is required. The units are also reasonably priced opening doors not only for start-ups but large organisations as well.
TMI-Orion's data loggers are a cornerstone of our product line, designed specifically for the thermal processing needs of the food industry. These temperature probes are essential tools for ensuring compliance and effective validation in food safety practices while also allowing for a deeper understanding of your processes leading to real process optimisation.
Features
Temperature Range
Accurately measures internal product temperatures from -40 to +140°C, essential for compliance and validation. With the right thermal shield, it is possible to reach temperatures of 1050°C.
Pressure Range
Accurately measures pressure from 30mbar to 30bar. With the right selection of pressure logger, we are also able to accurately capture pressure data at sub second rates.
Very handy for gas flushing and filling operations, understanding transfer valves in continuous cookers or sensitive processes that need this frequency of data collection.
Deflection
Accurately measure pack deflection from -15 to +13mm at temperature ranges from -40 to +140°C. For flexible containers such as pouches and trays where pressure loggers do not tell the full story.
Real time Data Collection
Accurately and reliably read data to your laptop while the process is running even in the most densely packed processing equipment.
Robust Construction
Stainless steel probes rated for extreme heat and pressure, ensuring reliability in the harshest of temperature and pressure environments
Pricing
Each logger is competitively priced. Get in touch to find out more.
