Determining Thermocouple Length
The length of an Ecklund Needle Thermocouple depends on the size of the container you will be testing. For cans, plastic cups, and recart packages, the thermocouple should be sized to reach the middle of the container. For glass jars, the thermocouple should be sized so the tip is at the cold spot of the container.
Standard or Rotary CALPlex?
Used to conduct testing on STATIC retorts (non agitation). Connect up to 32 thermocouple wires into the CALPlex. A USB cable connects CALPlex to a computer with CALSoft software installed.
Rotary CALPlex is used on rotatational retorts. The unit installs on the back of the retort and can accept up to 32 thermocouple wires. A USB slipring allows the Rotary CALPlex to rotate with the retort during testing. A USB cable connects Rotary CALPlex to a computer with the CALSoft software insalled.
