Ensuring robust product safety and quality is non-negotiable in the UK's bustling food sector. Our latest blog looks at the critical science of heat penetration testing – meticulously tracking how heat reaches the 'cold spot' in your food during thermal processing.

Discover why this process is absolutely essential yet inherently complex, from navigating natural ingredient variations and tricky packaging to addressing high microbial loads and products for vulnerable consumers.

We believe that robust food production validation and optimisation goes beyond simply "ticking boxes." Our team possesses in-depth industry knowledge, specialising in pasteurisation/sterilisation, process optimisation, temperature distribution, heat penetration, and validation, with a particular focus on in-pack processing and retort technology.

Reassured by our wide-ranging experience and the unparalleled quality of our machines, the client understood that combining the highest levels of automation with accurate process control would guarantee perfection of processing across an extensive range of supreme quality, ultra-convenient ready meals.

Our client, a leading producer of a range of delicious, easy-to-digest baby foods, needed a process that could handle even the most delicate laminates without either deformation or damage. Our retorts offered class-beating temperature and pressure control to deliver perfect results every time.
