Hanna HI981032 Foodcare Cheese pH Tester

Hanna HI981032 Foodcare Cheese pH Tester

The Hanna HI981032 Foodcare Cheese pH Tester is a compact, waterproof digital pH meter specifically designed for direct pH measurement in cheese, curds, and semi-solid dairy products. With its built-in, specialized probe, this tester simplifies pH monitoring throughout the cheese production process—ensuring optimal fermentation, texture, and flavor development.

Features

• Designed for Direct Measurement in Cheese Products
  The built-in pH electrode is optimized for insertion into semi-solid and solid samples like cheese and curd. As a result, it enables real-time, accurate testing with minimal sample preparation.

• Precision pH Readings for Dairy Applications
  Offers 0.01 pH resolution with ±0.05 pH accuracy at 25°C, ensuring precise data for critical control points in cheese production. Therefore, cheesemakers can fine-tune microbial cultures, aging conditions, and curd development.

• Automatic Calibration with One or Two Points
  The device supports automatic calibration at one or two points using standard buffer solutions (pH 4.01, 7.01, or 10.01). Moreover, it provides confidence in accuracy even during frequent use in demanding food environments.

• Compact and Waterproof for Field and Factory Use
  With IP67-rated water resistance and a durable, lightweight body, the tester is built for the conditions found in dairies and cheese aging rooms. Consequently, it’s easy to clean, transport, and handle—even with gloves on.

• Battery-Efficient with Auto-Off Function
  Powered by a CR2032 lithium-ion battery, the HI981032 operates for approximately 1,000 hours of continuous use. In addition, the auto-off feature (8 min, 60 min, or disabled) extends battery life and reduces downtime.

• Ultra-Light and Portable Design
  At just 40 g, this tester is one of the most compact and lightweight pH tools on the market. Thus, it’s ideal for handheld use during active cheese production.
