By adding a fan to the steam sterilization process, the heating medium and packaged food come into direct contact under forced convection, with air allowed in the retort. Pressure can be controlled independently of temperature, and the retort can be programmed with multiple stages to accommodate different products and packaging types.
Place the product into the sterilization retort and close the door. The retort door is secured by triple safety interlocking. Throughout the whole process, the door is mechanically locked.
The sterilization process is automatically carried out according to the recipe programmed into the microprocessor-controlled PLC.
This system is based on the direct heating for food packaging by steam, without any intermediate heating medium (for example, unlike spray retort systems that use water as an intermediate medium). Since the powerful fan forces the steam in the retort to form a cycle, the steam is uniform. Fans can also accelerate the heat exchange between the steam and the food packaging.
Throughout the whole process, the pressure inside the retort is controlled by the program by feeding or discharging compressed air through the automatic valve to the retort. Due to steam and air mixed sterilization, the pressure in the retort is not affected by temperature, and the pressure can be set freely according to the packaging of different products, making the equipment suitable for a wide range of products, including three-piece cans, two-piece cans, flexible packaging bags, glass bottles, plastic packaging etc.
