Rotary autoclave for food product sterilization
Optimize your canned food production by ensuring even heating and improved texture through advanced rotation and cascading water technology, reducing processing times and energy use while handling all packaging types from cans to trays efficiently.

Sterilizes and Rotates Canned Food and Beverages
The Rotary Steriflow from Steriflow is an engineered-to-order autoclave designed for the food and beverage industry, focusing on sterilization and mixing processes. This robust system features a stainless steel drum and triangulated structure, ensuring it withstands heavy packaging like cans, bottles, and jars without production downtime. The cascading water mechanism optimizes heat transfer, reducing processing time and energy costs. Suitable for canned beans, rice pouches, and bottled juices, it operates in batch mode, accommodating up to 12 baskets depending on size. Integrated with powerful pumps, the cycle uniformity ensures all products receive consistent treatment. The system is configurable for various product types, including solid and liquid, making it ideal for both processing and R&D departments. Constructed to meet rigorous industrial standards, it simplifies maintenance with high durability and reliability in diverse production environments.
