VERTICAL AUTOCLAVE

This vertically positioned superior-standard size autoclave, with an internal diameter of 1,700 mm, is an autoclave currently manufactured for a very specific market with generous daily productions and without format change in the canning industry, being very popular in automatic systems or robotized, as well as large-volume productions in small cans. Its use is dedicated as a sterilizer for types of small containers to be treated with a thermal process. This model is manufactured like the others on demand. Several companies with continuous and large-volume productions are present. Among the main qualities of this equipment, it is worth mentioning its versatility and energy saving, and the pneumatic opening of the lower door.

Its inner diameter is 2,000 mm and its height is 4,000 mm. Normally, it is advisable to assemble several units in a cascade of supply so that if there are three units, first number 1 is filled, at the end of filling it is passed to number 2 and then to number 3 so that when number 3 has just been filled, number 1 already it has finished its thermal process and is ready for the next filling of cans for a new process. Feeding is carried out by means of an upper belt that distributes to the different teams, filling is carried out through the device's loading door.

The emptying is carried out at the bottom of the equipment by means of a suitable emptying system for this task, so that the discharge is continuous and without unwanted accumulations. Its load is in bulk so that baskets and other manipulations are avoided, with a capacity of 36,000 cans of RO-85 or equivalent in each process. Control equipment manufactured in-house, with a 10” color touch dialog terminal, program library, variable adjustment, real-time graphs, with our application the variables of autoclave temperature, product temperature, pressure and time are recorded. of baskets to be sterilized, product, batch, operator, obtaining the Po or Fo values ??depending on their use, etc.

Optionally, it is manufactured under FDA standards and a video recorder from an external supplier can be attached according to the standard requested by the client. Although the standard heating system is through water recirculation through a heat exchanger, steam can be injected directly into the equipment and its cooling, as well as heating, can be carried out through a heat exchanger or directly into the equipment.
