Controlled cooling before frost

When storing and preserving food, medicines, and cosmetic products at low temperatures, the temperature limits defined by the manufacturer must be adhered to as precisely as possible. Even a few degrees of overshoot can lead to significant health issues and quality loss. For direct use in commercial refrigerators and boxes, Kager therefore offers new self-adhesive measurement strips based on liquid crystal technology.

In many cases, food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, or alternative remedies need to be stored cool to ensure their shelf life and effectiveness over a longer period. In industry, commerce, and trade, this is achieved using professional cold rooms, cabinets, and boxes. Typically, certain temperature ranges above freezing point must be maintained. A simple and inexpensive method to monitor and document this is the use of temperature measurement strips. The industrial trading company Kager offers such measurement strips in many different versions and has recently added new self-adhesive refrigerator thermometers with reversible liquid crystal display to its range.

From Light Blue to Deep Black

The new measurement strips measure 10 mm x 90 mm (0.39 x 3.54 inches) and are perfectly suited for space-saving placement inside refrigerators and boxes. They feature a horizontal scale that covers a temperature range from +1°C to +12°C in one-degree steps. The liquid crystal display is easy to read and clearly recognizable, with a color gradient from light blue through green and yellow to red and deep black.

Designed as reversible measurement strips, the new Kager refrigerator thermometers can be used over a long period. Their color display always follows the actual temperature and thus provides continuous information about the current cooling state. As part of quality assurance, these measurement strips play an important role. They are supplied in small bundles of ten pieces each.

Liquid crystal indicators like the new refrigerator thermometers are an important component of Kager's extensive range of measurement strips, which is summarized in a comprehensive catalog over 20 pages long. Here, users will find not only reversible and irreversible measurement strips but also heat-reactive inks and chalks for many different temperature ranges.
