Feature of Steam Air Retort Machine
  • There is no need for steam cooling. Compressed air can be injected into the pot. The unique worm wheel fan rotates to break up the cold air mass in the air, forcing the steam to flow along the air duct, forming a parallel cycle in the food tray gap, and heating the food. The penetration is faster and the sterilization effect is more balanced.
  • The sterilization process does not require preheating, which saves the initial time of preheating and greatly shortens the sterilization time
  • The process of sterilization, heating and heat preservation does not require water, which can save a lot of steam energy and water energy consumption by more than 15%
  • The control of temperature and pressure is more free, back pressure cooling can be performed, and the application range is wider. It can be applied to all high temperature sterilization products such as flexible packaging, bottled, canned, snack food, meat products, etc
  • After the equipment is powered off and restored, the program can automatically restore to the state before the power off, reducing losses
  • Equipped with triple safety chain to prevent misoperation of workers and avoid accidents

 

 

5 Process Steps In A Steam-Air Retort

Come Up Vent Open (A Sterilization Step) – It introduces steam into the vessel and minimizes the air that is in the retort.
 

Come Up Vent Closed (A Sterilization Step) – The vent valve is closed and the temperature is controlled and ramped to cooking Temperature
 

Cook (A Sterilization Step) – It maintains the recipe temperature for the time required by the recipe.
 

Pressure Cool & Atmospheric Cool – The fan is turned off and is not used for the remaining part of the process.
 

Drain – When the level condition is met; drains the water from the retort.

Q: How can i get more details about retort machines?

A: Whatsapp/Wechat/Talk with us by phone /Visit our factory

Q: How do I pick the correct retort?

A: The correct retort for a given application is determined by five primary factors. First being the food or beverage product itself. Second factor is the container used for the product. Third consideration is the duration of the thermal process. Fourth is mandate time. This is to prevent incipient spoilage and prevent the minimum initial temperature from dropping below the scheduled process requirement. The fifth and last (but not least) factor considered is the is the speed of the production line expressed in containers per unit time. This production parameter when considered with the third and fourth considerations will determine the amount of retort capacity and the size and quantity of retorts needed.

Q: What sizes of retorts are available?

A: Production batch retorts are available in varying diameters usually between 42” (1,100mm) and 80” (2,000mm). Lengths can vary between one or two baskets/positions to over twelve baskets/positions.

Q: How long do retorts last?

A: If properly maintained, retorts can last for decades. Retorts are typically made from either carbon steel or stainless steel. Rust (oxidation) will deteriorate the former while stress corrosion cracking (SCC) causes expensive or irreparable damage to stainless steel vessels. SCC is caused by having high concentration of chlorides in the cooling water which will negatively react with stainless steel at high temperatures and pressures, particularly attacking the material at high stress points (i.e.: weld joints). Improperly installed retorts (i.e.: restricting expansion and contraction as the vessel heats and cools) can also cause damage to the retort and/or retort door(s).

Q: How to install and maintain the machine?

A: The retort will be tested at the factory, and will try to ship without disassembly. All pipeline have number and identification. Also, we will provide remote service system, through which our engineers can guide and train in real time.

Q: What shall we do if breakdown occurs?

A: Please inform us once the breakdown occurs. During warranty period, if breakdown occurs, we shall respond in time after receiving the notification of the buyer. We shall handle failure over the telephone/real time video according to the buyer's requirements.
