Full water immersion counter pressure retort concept

·                     Energy contained in the storage vessel allows for an extremely short temperature come-up-time. 

·                     Water envelops the containers - even temperature penetration into the product from all sides. 

·                     Optimised water circulation system guarantees homogenous temperature distribution. 

·                     Buoyancy in full water immersion relieves sensible containers as semi-rigid trays, pouches etc. 

·                     Counterpressure control with steam in the storage vessel avoids pressure peaks and minimises stress to packaging material. 

·                     Containers are at no process phase in contact with air - oxidation of products is securely excluded.

·                     Even, gentle but nevertheless fast cooling avoids thermal shock and post-sterilisation cooking effect. 

·                     High temperatures, transferred swiftly into the product, ensure that the required lethality effect (F-value) is obtained as fast as possible
