Autoclave
All machine components are manufactured from high-quality stainless steel (AISI 304, 316, or 316L), depending on client specifications and manufacturing requirements.
Designed as a horizontal cylinder.
Insulated with rock wool and insulating fibers.
Equipped with a safety system that prevents the lid from opening until the pressure drops to atmospheric levels.
Fitted with proportional safety valves and an audio-visual alarm system.
Includes an automatic device protection system.
Operates using a cooling system via heat exchangers.
Utilizes proportional valves and ON/OFF controls for cold water and steam intake.
Equipped with air valves for supply and exhaust.
Features a control system for water drainage and refilling within the autoclave.
Equipped with measuring instruments (e.g., pressure switches and thermometers).
Fully automated operation via a PLC control screen.
Includes four baskets made of high-quality stainless steel (AISI 304).
Manual/pneumatic lid opening and closing, featuring a lid gasket.
PLC system indicates whether the door is open or closed.
Temperature, pressure, and water level are controlled via the PLC system.
Supports the programming of 3 operating stages and 100 program steps.
Includes: heating, holding, cooling, and water level control via electrodes (with maximum and minimum levels displayed on the screen).
Water circulation pump circulates water within the autoclave in a closed-loop system.
Electrical power: 5.5 kW.
Steam: Maximum consumption of 950 kg/h at 5 bar.
Requires an air supply. Operates at 8 bar pressure with a flow rate of 700 L/min.
Key Autoclave Features
Pressurized Thermal Sterilization
Raises temperatures above the standard boiling point using pressure.
Helps eliminate bacteria and microorganisms—including spores—when the appropriate sterilization cycle is applied.
Precise Temperature and Pressure Control
Equipped with temperature and pressure sensors.
Heating, sterilization, and cooling cycles can be programmed.
Uniform Heat Treatment
Designed to distribute heat evenly around the products, ensuring consistent treatment for all containers.
Automatic PLC Program
Programs can be adjusted based on product type and container size.
Records and monitors temperature, pressure, and time.
Cooling System
Following sterilization, the temperature is reduced in a controlled manner to minimize the impact of heat on the product and packaging.
Hygienic Construction
Parts in contact with the product are typically made of AISI 304 or AISI 316 stainless steel, depending on the application.
Multiple Safety Systems
Over-pressure protection.
Safety valves.
Safety door lock prevents opening while hazardous internal pressure exists.
Continuous monitoring of temperature and pressure.
Versatility for Various Products
Depending on the machine design and the adopted thermal process, it can be used for:
Packaged milk and dairy products.
Packaged cheese.
Sauces.
Canned food products.
Other products requiring post-packaging heat treatment.
