In-Container Thermal Processing Systems For Food & Pharma

Steam / Spray

Direct steam injection and pressurized air combine in a robust process delivery system using a small volume of water circulated through efficiently distributed spray nozzles.

  • The most energy efficient & flexible batch system
  • Uniform process conditions for large capacity / high thruput operations
  • Top shower for cans and glass PLUS side spray for pouches and trays
  • Direct steam heating with spray; optional indirect heating available upon request
  • Indirect cooling with plate heat exchanger for sterile cooling water
  • Air for overpressure
  • Static, oscillating and rotary (end over end) systems available
  • Vessels and piping in 304L stainless steel
  • ANSI flanged valves and service connections
  • Best Fit’ for:
    • Convenience Foods in Pouches and Heat sealed trays
    • Pet foods in metal or plastic containers
    • Institutional Foods in Pouches / Cans
    • MRE’s and Humanitarian Rations
