Why Choose Foodline Retort Sterilizer for Food Processing?
Features a Siemens PLC with a touchscreen interface for real-time plotting of temperature and pressure curves.
Utilizes residual heat from the pre-heated water in the upper vessel to warm up the cold water for the next batch, reducing the heating time per batch to just 18 minutes.
Ensures safety and reliability through a triple mechanical interlocking system and dual safety valves.
Can a water immersion retort sterilize aluminum foil pouches?
Yes. A water immersion retort can process aluminum foil pouches and other flexible packaging. It uses controlled counter-pressure to help prevent package deformation during heating and cooling. The exact pressure settings depend on the packaging structure, filling conditions, and sterilization process.
Can the same retort process both glass jars and flexible pouches?
Yes, provided the retort is designed with suitable operating modes and process configurations. Flexible pouches generally require counter-pressure control, while glass jars need controlled heating and cooling to reduce thermal stress.
