R&D Pilot Retort

Request More Information ›

STOCK multi-functional batch pilot retorts provide the flexibility to develop and optimize heat transfer and sensory profiles for multiple container geometries and recipe formulations utilizing various process and agitation modes. Available on-board linear deflection container sensor automatically generates the perfect auto-overpressure setpoint ramp and hold steps. Completely eliminate the guesswork of pressure profile development. Our Pilot Retort is designed to develop process formulations as well as container integrity modeling utilizing an array of processing techniques including immersion, partial immersion, saturated steam, and steam water spray to develop seamless process transitions for production sterilization equipment employing our ICON SMS controls (Sterilization Management System or host computer).
