Among the quality manufacturers with whom the supplier partners is Cooper-Atkins Corporation, a leader in monitoring solutions for food-processing, healthcare, and other sectors.

The KwikSwitch folding thermocouple kit is an NSF-certified device that is IPX7 waterproof-rated and constructed out of durable ABS plastic. Easy to use, the unit switches on and off when the user simply flips the probe open and closed – and to save battery life, there is an automatic shutoff after ten minutes. Another advantage is the large, easy-to-read LCD screen that provides a backlit display in low light settings. In addition, the reduced tip on the stainless steel probe enables quick response times.

Chevrier offers the kit with the KwikSwitch instrument and a 53337-K DuraNeedle Direct Connect Probe with a screw-in flanged connection. The device also comes with interchangeable Type K probes. It is compatible with induction cooking equipment, and it maintains total system accuracy when a new 53337-K replaces the original one.
