Steam water spray retort for shelf-stable food processing

Sterilizes and Pasteurizes Products with Uniform Temperature Control

The Static Retort – Steam Water Spray™ (SWS) from JBT FoodTech offers precise temperature and pressure control for the efficient sterilization and pasteurization of a wide range of products, including ready meals, sauces, and pharmaceuticals. By directly injecting steam and implementing water spray over the entire retort length, this system ensures fast and uniform temperature distribution.

It offers automated operation with PLC controls and energy-efficient features such as indirect, sterile cooling through a plate heat exchanger, eliminating the need for water treatment chemicals. Constructed with high-quality materials, it provides ultimate container flexibility, accommodating rigid, semi-rigid, and flexible packaging. With compliance to industry standards, it ensures safe processing in food, pharmaceutical, and pet food sectors. Optional models and engineering support are available for customized configurations tailored to specific production needs.
