Pasteurization Data Loggers and Recorders

Pasteurization data loggers are purpose-built instruments designed for use in tunnel and in-pack pasteurization processes in the food and beverage industry. These devices are inserted directly into bottles, cans, or other containers as they travel through the pasteurization tunnel, recording temperature and automatically calculating Pasteurization Units (PU) — the industry-standard measure of the heat treatment applied to a product. Some models also record pressure, providing additional data for process validation and quality control.

Their small size is critical — compact enough to fit inside standard bottles and cans, yet rugged enough to withstand the demanding conditions of a commercial pasteurization line. A durable ceramic housing protects the logger from heat, pressure, and liquid ingress throughout the process, and purpose-built accessories such as spider caps are available to keep the logger centered inside the container during the run.

MicroDAQ carries pasteurization data loggers from Star-Oddi, including both temperature-only and combined temperature and pressure models, along with the FoodStar software for programming, deployment management, and post-run data analysis. Our non-commissioned Technical Sales Representatives are available by chat, email, or phone and are always happy to help you find the best solution for your pasteurization monitoring application.
