Trescal ensures food safety with advanced calibration solutions

Food safety is under pressure worldwide. Consumers are rightly demanding more and more transparency and guarantees about the quality of their food and beverages. Trescal, international market leader in calibration and validation, plays a key role in this by supporting companies in the food industry with innovative measurement and calibration techniques. From temperature measurements in storage areas to monitoring pressure and flow in production lines, accurate calibration makes the difference between safe consumption and potentially dangerous deviations.

Food safety begins with accurate meteringn

In the food industry, temperature, pressure and humidity determine the safety and shelf life of products. Errors in these parameters can lead to spoilage, bacterial contamination and, of course, loss of quality. Trescal helps companies meet strict international standards such as HACCP, ISO 22000 and BRCGS by precision calibration of crucial measuring instruments.

"We work both on-site and in our laboratories to support companies throughout the production cycle. From cooling and pasteurization processes to filling and packaging, reliable measurements are essential everywhere," says Wim Van Camp, calibration expert at Trescal.

From potatoes to beer: calibration for every food sector:

Trescal offers specialized measurement solutions for various subsectors within the food industry, including:

• Potato and chip companies, where control of frying temperatures is essential.
• Dairy producers, which depend on accurate temperature and fat content measurements for cheese and milk products.
• Cocoa processing and chocolate production, where moisture measurement and temperature monitoring play a crucial role.
• Plant-based food products, requiring precision calibration for homogeneous mixing and consistent product quality.
• Fries production companies, where accurate moisture measurements to even the thickness and length of the fries are crucial to ensure quality.

Innovation and efficiency in calibration

Trescal is investing in automation and digital monitoring, giving companies real-time insight into their measurement data. This enables food producers to intervene more quickly in case of anomalies and minimize downtime in production processes.

"Efficiency is as important as precision," adds Stijn De Wilde, expert in calibration processes for the beer industry. "With our advanced calibration methods, we ensure that customers not only comply with legislation, but also save costs through reduced production losses and optimized energy consumption.“

Specific calibration for beverages and beer: color, CO₂ and alcohol measurements

For the beer, soft drink and water industry, calibration is not only a legal obligation, but also a quality assurance. Trescal offers specialized measurements for:

• Color calibration in beer, crucial to the recognizability and consistency of different beers.
• CO₂ measurements in soft drinks and beer, to ensure proper carbonation and drinking experience.
• Alcohol measurements, even with non-alcoholic beers, which still contain a minimum of alcohol, this is done with extreme precision.
