Dixie RD-RRT: Paperless Recording Retort Thermometer & Digital Datalogger

Modernize your retort thermal processing with plug-and-play precision.

The Dixie RD-RRT replaces outdated paper chart recorders with a high-performance, digital data-logging solution designed for the rigorous demands of food processing.

 

Key Technical Capabilities:

  • Intuitive Interface: Features a 5” high-resolution HMI touchscreen for real-time monitoring and simplified data entry.
  • Dual-Channel Logging: Pre-wired and programmed to capture time, temperature, and pressure (via the optional RD-Pressure Sensor) for the duration of the cook process.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Ensure total data integrity with software fully compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, streamlining your audit readiness and safety management.
  • Instant Integration: “Plug and Play” design allows for immediate deployment with minimal installation downtime.
  •  120V/60/1 PH

Advanced HMI Customization:

Beyond standard logging, the HMI can be programmed to handle sophisticated plant requirements, including:

  • Automated Alarms: Visual and audible alerts for process deviations.
  • Enhanced Security: Multi-level user authentication for data protection.
  • Network Communication: Seamless integration into your existing plant network for remote monitoring.
  • Process Visualization: High-fidelity graphics to track cook curves in real-time.
