Product Details

Working Principle

The sterilizer operates through a closed vertical chamber system. Packaged products are loaded into perforated baskets, which are lifted into the sealed chamber via a vertical lift mechanism (hydraulic or mechanical). High-temperature saturated steam (100–140°C) is injected to raise the chamber temperature uniformly. Once the preset sterilization time and temperature are achieved, the steam is exhausted, and pressurized water or cooling coils initiate a rapid cooling cycle to prevent thermal damage. After cooling, the baskets are lowered for unloading, completing a fully automated sequence controlled by a PLC or touchscreen HMI.

Features

Automated Operation:

Pre-programmed cycles minimize manual intervention; digital controls monitor temperature, pressure, and time in real-time.

Rugged Construction:

304/316L stainless steel interior eliminates contamination risks; double-walled insulation reduces heat loss and noise.

Safety & Compliance:

Emergency stop buttons, overpressure safeguards, and interlocked doors ensure operator safety; conforms to CE, FDA/3A sanitation standards.

Versatile Capacity:

Adjustable basket racks accommodate various package sizes (cans, pouches, bottles); optional loading conveyors enhance efficiency.

Energy Efficiency:

Recirculation pumps optimize steam usage; quick cooling minimizes water consumption.

Technical Highlights

Temperature Control:

PID regulators maintain ±0.5°C accuracy via thermocouples; dual-zone heating ensures even heat distribution.

Pressure Management:

ASME-certified pressure vessel; automatic blowdown valves release condensate without steam loss.

Data Traceability:

Integrated USB port exports sterilization logs for HACCP documentation; optional IoT connectivity enables remote monitoring.

Drive Systems:

Variable frequency drives (VFDs) on lift motors ensure smooth vertical movement; IP65-rated electrical enclosures prevent moisture ingress.

Application Fields

Specialized for the food industry, this sterilizer is ideal for:

Processed Meats: Sausages, canned hams, corned beef.

Ready-to-Eat Meals: Aseptic pouches, retort pouches (e.g., curries, stews).

Dairy & Plant-Based Alternatives: Soy milk cartons, tofu blocks.

Sauces & Condiments: Ketchup, mayonnaise, pickles.

Beverages: Bottled fruit juices, iced teas, UHT-treated milk.

Also suitable for pharmaceuticals (eye drops, ointments) and cosmetic products requiring terminal sterilization, ensuring microbial load reduction to <10⁻⁶ SAL (Sterility Assurance Level).
