It's goodbye to the fridge thermometer

Thermometers inside refrigeration cabinets are supposed to check that the cabinets are operating at the correct temperature to stop bacteria in food from multiplying.

However, what they check is the temperature of the air circulating inside, not the temperature of the food itself. The eCube could be the answer.

It is a small, self-contained plastic block filled with a special silicon gel that acts as a food simulator. The gel in the eCube is designed to mimic the food inside the fridge so that when fitted in fridges and freezers, the eCube gives a reading of the product temperature rather than the air temperature.

By using the eCube, a more efficient refrigeration cycle is maintained and the readings are accurate to 0.1- 0.2°C - highly precise in terms of food safety. It is a far more efficient system than thermometer probes.

By optimising the food temperature, food companies can reduce the electricity needed to chill food without compromising the integrity of the food. The eCube can save on average 20-35% of energy. And lower insurance premiums can be negotiated because of the increased reliability and life span of refrigeration equipment.

Once fitted, the eCube requires no further maintenance and has a five year guarantee.
