The trading and consulting company Kager expands its product range with a new series of irreversible temperature indicators. These self-adhesive measuring strips provide an effective solution for monitoring temperature limits in sensitive supply chains. They are specifically designed for applications where temperature-sensitive raw materials, semi-finished goods, or final products must be protected from excessive heat. Thanks to an innovative color-change display, they not only indicate when a threshold has been exceeded but also for how long.
Precise Monitoring in Refrigerated Supply Chains
Dietzenbach, March 2025 – In the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries, continuous temperature monitoring is crucial to ensuring product quality and safety. Cold chains disrupted by exceeding critical temperature limits can lead to spoilage or unusability. With the new WarmMark® temperature indicators, Kager offers a simple and reliable solution to this problem. The indicators are directly attached to products or packaging and show irreversible color changes when specific temperature thresholds are exceeded.
Efficient Temperature Monitoring with WarmMark®
The WarmMark® indicators are available in different versions. A simple single-field display visualizes temperature exceedances of 8°C, 25°C, or 26°C for eight, twelve, or 48 hours. The three-field variant allows staggered monitoring of up to nine different temperature thresholds ranging from -18°C to +37°C. For example, the indicator for 10°C triggers three times: after two, twelve, and 48 hours. An irreversible red discoloration of the display signals the duration of the exceedance and helps assess product quality.
Cost-Effective Alternative to Conventional Monitoring Systems
In addition to single- and three-field indicators, Kager also offers two-field variants as well as a mini and long-term version. The long-term version can detect temperature exceedances for up to 168 hours and trigger up to five alert levels, making it particularly suitable for goods transported over multiple days.
Compared to expensive sensor systems or wireless measuring devices, WarmMark® indicators provide a cost-effective and straightforward solution. They not only enhance quality control in logistics but also offer valuable insights for optimizing packaging and transportation processes.
