Pilot rotary retorts for laboratory sterilization
Optimize your prototype testing with precision thermal simulations to predict and refine sterilization processes in a controlled laboratory setting.
Conducts Thermal Processing and Sterilization Trials
The Pilot Rotary Laboratory Retort System from JBT FoodTech is designed to enable precise thermal processing and sterilization trials in a laboratory setting. This system is unique as it replicates the complexities of time and temperature variables in pilot plant environments, allowing you to design tailored thermal processes for canned food products. It supports a range of applications, including the processing of dairy, beverages, soups, sauces, and ready meals, handling both liquid and solid product types. The system can simulate rotary atmospheric or pressure systems, making it versatile for various food processing needs.
Integrating seamlessly into your pilot operations, this retort system is particularly beneficial for R&D and laboratory departments focusing on dairy products, juices, and sauces. Though specific processing capacity details depend on the chosen model, options like the 804 – Steritort and Megatort provide scalability for your trials. JBT FoodTech ensures compliance with food processing standards, and features easy-to-maintain components that enhance durability and system longevity.
