A NEW thermometer has been developed to fit neatly into the opening door of an isotainer, enabling internal temperature to be monitored without the need to open the container.
This is an important advantage, according to manufacturer Ebro Electronic, since up until now measurements were made using a bi-metallic strip thermometer located on the interior surface of the isotainer door - and every time the door was opened, warm air was allowed to enter.
The TBI 40 thermobox thermometer was developed after a European manufacturer of isotainers used to transport fresh or deep-frozen food products, TKT, asked German-based Ebro to find a solution to their problem: maintaining the complete refrigerating capacity and efficiency of its isotainers and comply with the EC directive VO 37/2005.
