Product Description

Product Description

Heat up and cool down by the heat exchanger, so the steam and cooling water will not contaminate the product, and no water treatment chemicals are needed. The process water is evenly cascaded from top to bottom through the large-flow water pump and the water separator plate on the top of the retort to achieve the purpose of sterilization. The trays can be designed to double layers that can sterilize the pouch and tray products, if customer also has the can and jar products, just equip one more set baskets is ok. One retort can sterilize almost all products so that it saves much money for customers especially for the customers who are at the begining of the project.

Working Principle

Keep an appropriate amount of water at the bottom of the retort. If necessary, this part of water can be injected automatically at the beginning of the heating up. For hot-filled products, this part of water can be preheated first in the hot water tank and then injected. During the entire sterilization process, this part of water is repeatedly circulated by the high-flow pump through the water spreader plate located at the top of the retort, and the water is distributed evenly from top to bottom in the form of shower water to heat the product. This ensures an even distribution of heat.

Equip the spiral-tube heat exchanger for the sterilization retort and at the heating and cooling stages, the process water passes through one side, and the steam and cooling water pass through the other side, so that the sterilized product will not directly contact the steam and cooling water to realize aseptic heating and cooling.

Throughout the whole process, the pressure inside the retort is controlled by the program by feeding or discharging compressed air through the automatic valve to the retort. Due to cascade sterilization, the pressure in the retort is not affected by temperature, and the pressure can be set freely according to the packaging of different products, making the equipment more widely applicable (three-piece cans, two-piece cans, flexible packaging bags, glass bottles, plastic packaging etc.).

Our Advantages

DTS self-studied patented technology D-TOP system can be sensitive to temperature. It can automatically calculate the pressure changes inside the container according to the temperature. And then automatically adjust the pressure inside the retort to get the pressure balance between container internal and exside.

Inside tube material is stainless steel 316L, no need to replace the rubber gasket, no need maintenance, corrosion resistance, long service life.

Good heat distribution result is the basis of the retort, before using the retort for sterilizing the product, heat distribution must be carried out. And as for the product process, we need to do the heat penetration to find the exact sterilization process instead of cooking too much or less. It means we can find the F0 according to the logger's data. DTS has the loggers to do these tests, we bought from France TMI, we can send engineers for this service.

FAQ

1. Q: Now I have the packages of cans and jars, maybe I will have pouch products in future, which kind retort is suitable to me?
A: Cascading retort, water spray retort is suitable. As for cascading retort, for your cans and jars products, will use normal baskets is ok. But for your future pouch use, just buy another sets of double layer trays is ok. Normal baskets and trays also will satisfy you for the water spray retort.

2. Q:  If we buy your retort, can I know what lind of utilities I need to buy also, will DTS equip together for me?
A: Running retort we need electricity, water(including process water, cooling water), steam, compressed air. So you need the water treatment system, boiler, air compressor. DTS doesn't produce these utility machines by ourselves, but we have strong patners. For many years cooperation, so we already know each other very well and DTS is familiar with this industry, we know deeply which supplier is good quality and we only choose high quality manufacturers as our partners.

3. What kind of advantages does DTS have and why I choose DTS retorts?
A: Compared to European suppliers, DTS has good price. Compared to Chinese suppliers, DTS has good quality. So if you choose to buy from DTS, you will get not only high quality but also good price.
