Usage and Principle of Water Immersion Retort

Products loaded into baskets enter the retort, door closes through triple safety interlock. Throughout sterilization process, door is mechanically locked. Sterilization process automatically performed according to program input to microprocessor controller PLC.

At start, high-temperature hot water from hot water tank is injected into retort. After hot water mixes with products, it continuously circulates through high-flow water pump and scientifically distributed water distribution pipes. Steam is injected through water-steam mixer to continue heating and sterilizing products.

Retort equipped with liquid flow switching device achieves uniform water flow at any vertical and horizontal position by switching water flow direction in process tank, achieving excellent heat distribution.

Advantages: Water flow distribution (uniform water flow at any position), high-temperature short-time processing (pre-heated hot water), suitable for fragile containers (water buoyancy protection), suitable for large canned food processing.
