Rotary atmospheric sterilizer for high acid canned foods
Optimize your canning process with uniform heat penetration and reduced container damage, ensuring superior product quality for high acid foods through efficient, continuous operation.

Sterilizes and Agitates Canned Foods Efficiently
The Rotary Atmospheric Sterilizer from JBT FoodTech is engineered to streamline your canned food production line with precision and consistency. Utilizing induced convection technology, it ensures rapid heat penetration, reducing processing times for a wide array of high acid canned goods such as tomatoes, salsa, and pickled peppers. Processing speeds range from 30 to 600 containers per minute, making it suitable for both small-scale and large-scale operations.
Designed for seamless integration, this sterilizer accommodates various cylindrical can types and adapts to multiple process combinations. Its continuous operation significantly lowers steam and water consumption, delivering both energy and cost efficiency. The system is PLC-controlled, allowing for easy integration into existing production lines and enabling remote monitoring capabilities.
Durability and hygiene are prioritized with its stainless steel construction, which also offers excellent corrosion resistance for handling acidic products. This machine supports clean-in-place (CIP) systems for efficient maintenance, minimizing downtime and enhancing operational efficiency. Customization options are available to meet specific production requirements, supported by JBT’s comprehensive engineering and customer service.
