Our retorts are available in different versions depending on the direct sterilizing medium:
- Steam (S)
- *Steam/ Air (fan systems) with THS - Total Homogeneous System (SA)
- Rain water (WR)
- Water immersion (WI)
Our portfolio includes the optimal technology for every sterilization technology. Our retorts are built for heavy duty production cycles (24-hour production).
* THS (Total Homogeneous System): a fan is used during both the sterilization and the cooling process to produce a horizontal flow of steam and water micro-drops through the baskets. Temperature variations in different areas during the sterilization phase are less than 0.5 °C.
Cutting your production costs
- Reducing energy consumption through in-lab tests aimed at optimizing the sterilization cycle for every product recipe.
- Dimensioning retort size to perfectly match your needs and to eliminate utilities overspending.
- Providing flexible combined solutions for the most effective, energy wise sterilizing cycle of your products.
- Guaranteeing excellent temperature distribution through its ES2D (Energy Saving Distribution Design) modeling system for customized solutions.
- Maximizing the usage of internal retort volume through its specially designed trolleys & baskets, also resulting in low floor space usage systems.
