Core temperature probes – Precise measurement for your food

What are core temperature probes?

Core temperature probes are rugged insertion probes that have been specially designed to measure the temperature inside a food item—that is, at its “core.” Unlike surface probes, their stainless steel tip penetrates directly into the product, providing an exact indication of whether the entire core has been sufficiently heated, cooked, or cooled. This is particularly crucial in food processing: Only when the core temperature is correct are pathogens reliably eliminated and quality guaranteed.

B+B’s core temperature probes are specifically designed for cooking, baking, and other heat treatment processes in all areas of food processing and preservation.

Features & benefits

• Robust stainless steel housing—vibration-resistant sensor installation, durable, and easy to clean
• Centered or angled measuring tip – selectable depending on the application; the angled tip makes it easier to pierce tougher foods
• Flexible sensor technology – available with Type K thermocouple or Pt100/Pt1000
• High mechanical strength – reliable even with daily, intensive use
• High temperature resistance – suitable for continuous use up to 260 °C, easily withstands cooking, baking, and smoking temperatures
• IP65 protection rating – reliable protection against dust and splashing water

Hygiene & cleaning – Confidently meeting the highest standards

The food industry is subject to particularly strict hygiene regulations. Probes are constantly exposed to grease, acids, alkalis, and fluctuating temperatures, and must be capable of being cleaned thoroughly without leaving any residue at all times.

This is exactly where B+B core temperature probes come into play: The ergonomic handle is made of high-quality PEEK—a high-performance plastic that is ideally suited for food contact:

• Very smooth, non-porous surface to which bacteria, fats, and residues can hardly adhere
• Resistant to frequent cleaning and disinfection cycles, even with aggressive cleaning agents
• Withstands hot-water cleaning without any problems
• Resistant to acids and alkalis—important for meat, fatty, or highly salty foods, as well as CIP cleaning processes
• Physiologically safe and approved for direct food contact, without transferring taste or odor

The connecting lines are also designed to meet these requirements: hygienic, highly heat-resistant, and resistant to acids and alkalis.
