What is hot filling validation?

To safely validate the heat treatment applied by hot product on packaging during filling we need to accurately measure the temperature at worst-case positions on the packaging inside surface, from point of filling, through any inversion, and on to cooling (if applicable).

Packaging types can be jars, pouches or plastic trays, meaning measurement positions are often difficult to target, such as in corners or under a cap or seal. We can use our versatile selection of temperature measurement equipment to do this or, if not possible, we can use TTIs: our enzymic validation method
