Industrial Autoclaves

Industrial sterilization processes are employed in different industries to completely eliminate all living microorganisms from the final product. For instance, in food processing, sterilization equipment is used to produce a stable product with a long shelf-life by eradicating harmful bio-contaminants. Instead, in the medical field, sterilization technologies aim to prevent the transmission of microbes to patients by sterilizing all the tools and medical devices that come in contact with the patient. Most sterilization equipment, such as autoclaves, employs high-temperature pressurized steam to destroy bacteria and disinfect surfaces from spores. Other methods include radiation sterilization or using chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide for disinfection.

Sterilization

Industrial cleaning equipment is used to wash or disinfect machinery and the production/warehouse area. It may also be used to sterilize the product, equipment, tools, floor or work surfaces and to purify or clean the product by removing impurities. Choosing a suitable cleaning system depends on the type of product or equipment to be cleaned, the sensitivity of the product to heat, pressure, and chemicals, and the level of sterility desired.

Cleaning

Our food chain starts in the soil, growing crops and livestock. But between the fields and the stores, there is a line of industrial food processing equipment. Processes may be as minimalistic as cleaning fruit and as complex as homogenizing milk alternatives made from pressed legumes. In each case, processing technology is an important link in the food production chain.

Food

Healthcare products are goods or services used to improve, maintain or prevent the deterioration of health or ease the consequences of illness. Healthcare products include a wide range of goods, from hospital clothing, over plasters, wound care products and diagnostic devices. These products must be clean and contamination-free, which is achieved with strictly regulated healthcare equipment.

Healthcare products

Industrial autoclaves are hermetic containers that kill microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and spores by using steam under high pressure. The steam is pumped at a higher pressure than normal atmospheric pressure to reach a temperature of 121–140 °C. As steam is pumped into the main chamber of the autoclave, it replaces air and creates a vacuum seal. The pressure vessel kills pathogens and microbes, but industrial autoclaves may also be used to reinforce composite materials, and laminate surfaces. Sensitive products such as foods and pharmaceuticals typically use wet steam autoclaves to sterilize containers and instruments because moisture can penetrate tight areas. But other applications, such as wood treatment or rubber vulcanizing, may also be subjected to dry steam techniques.

A processing system dedicated to medium to large-scale producers can be helpful in producing high-quality and shelf-stable milk beverages, at an optimum level of output.


<h2>Autoclave continuous retort system loads filled bottles in tube carriers</h2>
The autoclave ACBV series of Hydrolock, for glass bottles and jars, and the ACB series for PP, HDPE, and glass bottles are continuous retort systems designed for sterilization of milk beverages, evaporated milk, soups, and vegetables. Filled bottles are loaded into tube carriers, free of rotation. A chain pulls the tube carriers and rotates them while also rotating the products inside in a continuous motion. This rotation permits the application of a short-time, high-temperature sterilization, with efficient cooling.

This continuous agitation also preserves the organoleptic qualities of the products for you. Each product goes through the same thermal process. The products are transferred to a water-cooling unit inside the autoclave that cools them to avoid thermal shock. After the product leaves the cooling unit, it goes through a similar process in the atmospheric cooling unit outside the autoclave.

The Hydrolock ACBV series has a pre-heating device used for energy recycling. The hot water coming from the cooling process is used for preheating the products. This device is also necessary to avoid the thermal stress of the glass packagings. It combines with the continuous agitation of the product to allow for the shortest heat treatment possible. Saving you 35% more on energy consumption.

The autoclave ACBV and ACB series can run different sizes and shapes. The series is designed for both medium and large-scale production. The series carrier assembly is removable for safe inspection and cleaning. The ACBV series has a production capacity of 4000 bottles per hour to 26000 bottles per hour. While the ACB series has a capacity of 4000 bottles per hour to 28000 bottles per hour.

Continuous sterilizer for milk beverages

The self-standing Doypack and other similar pouch products are a very popular method of packaging liquids such as soups and sauces. Traditional sterilization techniques can be harsh on these products, meaning that a longer, gentler cycle has to be used. This reduces efficiency and can reduce product quality from optimum. An autoclave solution that’s purpose-designed for flatter, liquid-filled containers can reduce process times and energy consumption and improve product quality.


<h2>Oscillating steam-water spray retorts for liquid-filled pouches</h2>
The Autovap Oscillation from DFT Technology is a steam-water spray retort that has been designed specifically for liquid-filled pouches such as Doypacks and food service bags.

Unlike traditional systems, the Autovap Oscillation introduces gentle oscillations of 15 degrees from vertical 6 to 10 times per minute to the cycle, selectable to match the product type and package geometry.

The oscillations cause the air pocket in the containers to move to the highest point with each move, forcing convection within the product. This improves heat transfer and can shorten heating and cooling times by up to 40%.

Shorter cycle times mean reduced cooking damage, improved nutritional value, and better texture, taste and appearance.

The Autovap uses standard cages or stackable trays and can be matched with a range of manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic loading and unloading systems.

Autoclave for doypack pouches

Autoclaves for sterilising and cooking food products are a mainstay of many production facilities. Traditionally they offer a single type of operation and are linked to the production of a single product. For multi-line production, this can mean equipment standing idle when it is not suitable to be used with the current product batch. A multi-process autoclave retort system can perform a range of sterilization processes, meaning ultimate flexibility and return on investment in a multi-product environment.


<h2>Fully customizable retort allows the production of a wide range of products and packaging types</h2>
The Multiprocess Rotomat MRX from DFT Technology offers the ultimate solution in flexibility to handle all your autoclave needs across a wide range of product and packaging types.

One unit offers the options of full immersion or semi-immersion sterilization, steam and spray, static or rotating. Full user control is offered to allow complete customisation of production, packaging, energy consumption, water consumption and time.

Control is via Siemens touch screen HMI, allowing instant monitoring of all parameters, as well as programming of cycles. High power circulation equipped with flow-meter control ensures optimum heating and cooling performance, as well as minimising use of water and steam.

For comfortable loading and unloading, a shuttle system is optionally included, allowing the handling of a variety of product cages. The flexibility means that a single unit can process a batch of canned product, followed by flexible pouches, followed by flat plastic containers, and more.

Flexible pasteurizer for packaged food

Aluminium-lined pouches and plastic containers are becoming the preferred packaging choice for many ready meals, meat products and other food lines. Traditional autoclaves designed for rigid containers are very inefficient when used with modern flexible packaging. They can also be entirely inappropriate for products which require only pasteurisation. A dedicated steam and water jet autoclave designed for modern flexible packaging can considerably reduce energy costs, as well as shortening process times and improving product quality.


<h2>Steam Water spray retort designed specifically for food items in flexible packaging</h2>
The Autovap and Rotovap lines from DFT Technology have been specifically designed for the optimal processing of foods in flexible packaging. This product line’s emphasis is on reducing steam and water consumption while increasing product shelf life.

DFT’s system injects steam which is blended with fine water droplets. This results in a highly homogenous heat transfer environment within the unit, reducing processing time and increasing product quality.

Fine sprays are also used during the cooling phase, and these enter the chamber from the sides as well as above, ensuring an even and rapid cooling. This design means that even comparatively flat containers can be cooled safely and efficiently.

Rotation of the product-holding cages accelerates heat delivery to cool spots within the containers. This can reduce the processing time and increase product quality and nutritional value. Rotation is particularly suitable for the efficient processing of very viscous products.

The Autovap and Rotovap machines can be supplied with a range of batch handling solutions, from manually operated packing supports to semi-automatic and fully automatic batch loading and unloading systems.

Steam sterilizer for food pouches

Sealing and cooking products in cans, pouches or other containers is a very popular method of preserving flavour and extending shelf life for a wide range of products. From baby meals to dairy products, convenience foods to pet products, pressure cooking is the most efficient method. However, traditional autoclave solutions can be limited to a single container type. They can also promote inefficient thermal transfer when used with non-traditional containers, risking cold-spots or burning. A water-immersion solution removes these risks while allowing a wide range of container types to be processed.


<h2>Full water immersion retort with rotation for processing your food products in cans, jars and pouches</h2>
The Automat and Rotomat series of full water immersion retort from DFT Technology has been designed to enhance product quality, increase production flexibility and ensure the highest levels of food safety.

Designed to handle a range of modern packaging solutions, including pouches and flexible containers, the Automat/Rotomat range completely covers the containers in a water bath. This not only provides exceptionally even heat transfer but can also guarantee 100% oxygen-free processing.

Utilising high-efficiency heat exchangers and an energy storage system, the Automat/Rotomat series reaches the set temperature very quickly, ensuring that the necessary lethality effect (or F-Value) is achieved as quickly as possible.

The Rotomat series adds the benefit of rotary motion. This accelerates heat transfer to the coolest part of any container - particularly useful for products of high viscosity. Process times are therefore reduced even further, preserving nutritional content and product quality.

To increase efficiency further, a wide range of loading and unloading systems are available. Options include manual packing supports and semi-automatic and automatic batch loading and unloading systems.

Autoclave for canned food

A wide variety of products that were previously canned are now able to be more economically packaged in retort pouches. These specialised plastic film and metal foil laminates are ideal for food use. Traditional premade pouch filling machines are not suitable for hygienic operations, and a dedicated retort pouch filling solution that can seal to withstand the high pressures of the autoclave is needed.


<h2>Food pouch packaging machine with sanitary design</h2>
The Bossar BR Retort series is a range of machines designed specifically for hygienic filling of premade retort pouches for food products. They are perfect for product lines such as soup, tuna, chicken, sauces, prepared meals and pasta, as well as pharmaceutical applications.

Constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel, the BR series is easy to clean and sanitize. In addition, all parts that are product contacting are made from AISI 316L stainless steel. Optional residual oxygen removal systems can be specified, either N2 or steam injection, to meet your exact requirements.

The Bossar-designed high-pressure sealing system has been designed to give a perfect seal every time, and offers temperature control of +/- 1 degree to guarantee a hermetic seal on a wide range of pouch types.

A robust walking beam transport method ensures reliability and accuracy while allowing throughput of up to 180 pouches per minute. The BR series can seal flat or stand-up pouches ranging from 60mm x 80mm up to 330mm x 300mm. Maximum fill volume can be up to 2,000cc.
