Efficient agitation system for retort packages
Enhance product quality and reduce processing time with this advanced agitation system, designed to optimize heating and cooling in retort packages through precise, recipe-driven linear motion.
Enhances Heating and Cooling with Precise Agitation
The Efficient Agitation System by JBT optimizes your batch retort processing through recipe-driven, linear agitation. Utilizing a hydraulic platform, it provides tailored motion profiles to match the thermal needs of diverse products. Ideal for applications in the food and pet food industries, it’s frequently used for products like infant cereal, Greek yogurt, and canned tuna. This system can significantly reduce process times by up to 40%, improving throughput and product quality. Integration is seamless, with PLC-controlled automation allowing for precise adjustments during processing. Designed for versatility, it offers higher accelerations for viscous materials and gentle handling for delicate items, maintaining product integrity. Constructed with robust materials, it ensures durability and compliance with industry standards. Custom engineering support is available for specific production requirements.
