Gentle can handling ejector for rotary cooker
In high-speed food processing lines, heavy impact can damage metal cans, particularly those that are lighter in weight. When transferring cans between stages in rotary pressure sterilizers, maintaining integrity is crucial to ensure product quality and operational efficiency.
Minimize can damage during sterilization transfers
The Gentle Can Handling Ejector by JBT ensures minimal can damage by creating a tangential path for metal cans to move from shell-to-shell in a rotary pressure sterilizer. This technology maintains control of the cans as they are lifted out of the reel and over the valve bridge, reducing sharp impacts. This method allows for higher operational speeds and smooth transfers, making it efficient for handling lighter weight and necked-in cans. Available both for new RPS units and as a retrofit kit for existing systems, this solution is ideal for industries dealing with baby food, dairy products, pet food, ready meals, and more.
Benefits
- Reduced can damage
- Enables usage of lighter weight cans
- Increased throughput with faster speeds
- Smoother transfer into can valve
- Reduced frequency of transfer jams
