... TTI the system solution for freshness

The TTI system (Time Temperature Indicator System) makes freshness visible immediately. The indicator creates the reference between the time and temperature curves, and significantly extends the less reliable best-before date.

The basic idea behind TTI is to provide an indicator that changes over time and that makes it possible to read the freshness of foodstuffs, which immediately start to lose their freshness and quality following harvesting, slaughter or production - a process that can neither be halted nor reversed.

How does TTI work?

The Bizerba TTI system label works on the basis of a printing ink developed by CIBA SC, which changes its colour when activated by light - from colourless to blue. Over time, this reaction is reversed. The higher the temperature, the faster the return from blue to colourless. In practice, this means the following: If the ideal temperature or the number of predefined best-before dates is exceeded, the TTI system label changes its colour from "fresh" to "still fit for consumption" to "no longer fit for consumption". It therefore gives the consumer a reliable way of checking the refrigeration chain at a glance, from production right through to the checkout.
