Product Description
The batch rotating retort is a sterilization autoclave used for a wide range of applications where is necessary mix the product inside the container during sterilization/cooling treatment.
The thermal process and finished product quality can be greatly enhanced for some containers and products by moving the containers during the cook / cool cycle. Movement or agitation of the containers forces convection heating of the product inside the container.
The mechanical action of the retort’s rotation mechanism rotates the baskets EOE at speeds ranging from 1-25 RPM’s. This forces the headspace bubble inside the container to move from the container wall through the center of the container, forcing hot and cooler product to thoroughly mix. The mixing greatly reduces the length of time required to produce a sterile product and avoid separation and decantation. Process reductions of as much as 60% below non-rotary processing are possible.
The retort internal diameters is 1.2m and the useful internal length 4m; is equipped with thermo insulated water recovery tank, positioned over the retort chamber; equipped with recycle pump and accessories. The machine can operate in different sterilization cycles and rotation speed and mode to offer a choice of sterilizing options (Submersed water, steam).
This gives maximum flexibility in terms of changing between packaging material and sterilization options.
The principle behind any food sterilization or pasteurization process is to balance the key elements of temperature, pressure, time and dynamics to ensure the desired product quality and required production levels, while keeping power and raw material usage to a minimum. Using these variables, is possible to select the ideal sterilization recipe for you that will achieve your requirements in the most effective and economical way. The control system of the machine, allows you to monitor the retort during the sterilization process.
