Hanna HI99165 Cheese pH Portable Meter (HACCP)

Hanna HI99165 Cheese pH Portable Meter – HACCP-Compliant pH Testing for Cheese Making and Dairy Quality Control

The Hanna HI99165 Cheese pH Portable Meter (HACCP) is a compact, waterproof pH and temperature meter engineered specifically for the cheese production industry, offering fast, accurate measurements in semi-solid and high-protein samples such as curds and aged cheeses. It is an essential tool for maintaining proper pH levels during coagulation, fermentation, ripening, and storage.

This meter includes the HI1414D/50 pre-amplified food-grade pH electrode, designed to deliver reliable performance in viscous, low-moisture, and protein-rich dairy products. Whether you’re in a cheese factory, a lab, or an artisanal setting, the HI99165 ensures precise pH control critical to product quality, texture, and safety.
