Gentle can handling ejector for rotary cooker

Achieve seamless can transfer and sterilization with reduced damage during high-speed operations, ensuring integrity for products ranging from delicate baby foods to robust pet meals.

Transfers and Ejects Cans Gently

The Gentle Can Handling Ejector from JBT FoodTech’s Rotary Pressure Sterilizers is engineered to minimize can damage during high-speed operations. It facilitates a controlled tangential path for metal cans, ensuring a smooth transition from shell to shell, crucial for sensitive products like infant formula and yogurt alternatives. This equipment supports continuous processing, enabling increased throughput for applications such as ready meals and sauces. Its design allows for integration into both new and existing sterilization setups, featuring configurable transfer components to reduce setup time and transfer jams. The system is compatible with lightweight and necked-in cans, offering energy efficiency and reduced operational costs due to its optimized motion control. Available in corrosion-resistant materials, it meets stringent industry standards, making it a reliable component for food and pet food manufacturers.
