Falk Thermal Probe Solutions
Reliable Data Starts with Precise Probe Placement
At Falk Thermal, we understand that good data begins with accurate food data collection. Without proper probe positioning, even the best equipment can produce unreliable results. That’s why we provide specialized solutions for each product, ensuring that our probes are adaptable to any device on the market.
Whether you’re working with baked goods, pastries, or other food products, our probes are engineered to deliver the precise data you need for optimal results. By combining expert probe positioning with industry-leading technology, Falk Thermal ensures that your data is both reliable and actionable.
Precise Positon
The Problem with Hand-Positioned Probes
Hand-positioned probes introduce significant errors in thermal profiling. Even a 5mm misplacement can cause up to a 5°C temperature error, compromising data accuracy.
Key issues with hand positioning include:
-
Human Error: Manual placement often lacks the precision needed.
-
Probe and Electronics Accuracy: Even the best probes can’t deliver reliable data if not positioned correctly.
-
Wire Weight: The weight of wires can shift probes during baking, further affecting results.
At Falk Thermal, we use advanced positioning solutions that eliminate these issues, ensuring precise and reliable data every time, regardless of the operator.
Innovation for Precision
The BakeSpike Solution
When innovation is needed, it leads to breakthrough solutions like the BakeSpike—a patented technology specifically developed for QSR hamburger buns that ensures extreme probe position accuracy, regardless of the operator. This level of precision is essential for obtaining repeatable, reliable, and most importantly, comparable data.
The BakeSpike eliminates the inaccuracies often caused by manual probe placement, making it possible to consistently gather accurate data over time. This is key for analyzing trends and optimizing processes.
Once the data is collected, it seamlessly integrates with Falk Cloud Analytics, where you can compare and analyze your thermal profiling data across multiple runs and sites. The ability to compare data is a core feature of Falk Cloud Analytics, helping you make informed decisions that drive consistent quality and process improvements.
Automatic Core Detection
Core temperatures at its best.
Selecting the right type of probes is crucial. The patented BakeSpike features six ultra-reactive probes: five inserted into the dough and one measuring ambient air temperature.
Accurately hitting the core temperature is challenging, especially as the dough expands during oven-spring. That's why BakeSpike uses five probes in the dough.
The software then selects the probe that best represents the core temperature.
Each probe operates independently, ensuring more accurate readings compared to probes with multiple reading points in a single needle.
Accuracy in Every Probe
Universal Compatibility and Unmatched Accuracy
Our probe solutions are designed to be fully compatible with all devices on the market, as long as they can export to CSV or XLS, ensuring seamless integration no matter the equipment you use. They can be executed with Type T or Type K thermocouples, offering flexibility to meet the specific needs of your application.
Unlike multipoint probes, which can be less accurate due to their construction, our individual probes provide superior precision. Each probe is designed to deliver the highest quality performance, ensuring reliability and repeatability in your thermal profiling results.
Thanks to their super-thin sleeves, which are only possible with individual probes, they react faster and more accurately to temperature changes, capturing data without delay. This level of precision is essential for making critical decisions based on the most reliable thermal data.
