In-Container Thermal Processing Systems For Food & Pharma

Water Immersion Retorts

  • Full and partial immersion heating/cooling
  • Static, oscillating and end‐over‐end rotary agitation in a single system
  • Forced convection due to rotary operation accelerates the heat transfer to the coldest spot in the containers, even with products of higher viscosity
  • Short process times preserve natural quality, vitamins and nutritional values.
  • Agitation of the product during heating prevents burning on the container walls.
  • Optimum temperature distribution (+/-1°F) and accurate pressure control (+/-1 psig)
  • Insulated shell with mirror polished stainless steel cladding
  • Vessel, piping, and heat exchanger constructed of stainless steel 304L
  • Automatic door and individual cage clampdown
  • Easily integrates with automated shuttles for loading and unloading
  • Includes FDA accepted ICON LE Control System with optional ICON RMS Web Launched SCADA System
