With varying industries across the globe needing to comply with increasing safety regulations, temperature monitoring systems are more important than ever. Vermont Cider Company recently required an effective temperature monitoring solution to ensure they were meeting health and safety compliance. To execute this, a MadgeTech Micro Temp Miniature data logger was used within their cider factory in Vermont, USA.

Who are Vermont Cider Company?

Based in Vermont, USA, Vermont Cider Company originated in 1991 and were the very first commercial manufacturer of hard cider. They are well known for creating refreshing and delicious hard ciders to their array of customers worldwide. The cider company produce hard cider for a variety of brands, from Magners Irish Cider to Woodchuck. As well as this, they provide packaging services to other beverage companies looking to use their high-scale production lines.

Why did Vermont Cider Company need temperature monitoring solutions?

Due to the high volume of cider manufacturing and production required at Vermont Cider Company, an effective temperature monitoring system was vital. Vermont Cider Company required high temperature monitoring to ensure cider was heated to the correct temperature during the pasteurisation process. Through this, they could certify that their cider was completely safe for consumption.

How did a food safety temperature monitoring system solve the problem?

In order to validate the cider pasteurisation process, the MadgeTech Micro Temp Miniature data logger was implemented. This particular offering from MadgeTech is a small and compact data logger, meaning it can fit easily into small spaces. This was a perfectly suited food safety temperature monitoring solution for Vermont Cider Company, as they were able to slot the MadgeTech data logger inside cider bottles.

The compact data logger was placed into marked cider bottles for identification purposes, making sure they did not get packaged for delivery. During the pasteurisation processes, the MadgeTech data logger circulated its way through the pasteuriser and was monitored by quality control staff. Following this, Vermont Cider Company used the MadgeTech data logger software to assess the data in detail.

Through use of an effective high temperature monitoring system, Vermont Cider Company were able to provide evidence of compliance with their HACCP plan and maintenance of safe manufacturing standards. As a result, this makes Vermont Cider Company a highly trusted contract packager and supplier of hard cider.
