Benchtop autoclaves with pressure support for research
The CFS-H Series benchtop autoclaves with pressure support are especially recommended for education and research and development of new materials in the food and packaging industries.
- Adjustable temperature from 50 to 130ºC and temperature regulation by means of a flexible probe
- Adjustable pressure support up to 2.1 Barg and regulation by F₀ and P₀
- Programs with up to 5 initial segments and 5 final segments, independently adjustable for time, pressure and temperature
Benchtop autoclaves with pressure support for food research
TERRA Food-Tech® autoclaves have been designed to cook, pasteurize or sterilize packaged foods at temperatures between 50 and 130ºC using saturated steam generated by the heating elements mounted inside the sterilization chamber. The temperature is regulated by chamber probe or by the F₀/P₀ values by means of a core probe placed inside a reference sample. This allows a perfect control of the process while preserving the organoleptic properties and minimizing possible changes in the nutritional values of the final product. Choose your model from a wide range of chamber volumes, either in vertical or benchtop configuration. In addition, all units can be supplied with different accessories for specific applications.
The CFS-H Series autoclaves are used in a wide variety of applications and sectors such as scientific research in universities, product development in the food industry, research in the packaging industry, and for training purposes at trade schools.
State-of-the-art technology for research in the food and packaging industry
High productivity for research centers and industry. It has a pressure support system that can be adjusted up to 2.1 Barg to avoid damaging or breaking the containers. Regulation by F₀ and by P₀, with additional recording of Σ%F₀ and Σ%P₀.
Flexibility in the control of each process
A 5'' touchscreen controller offers up to 50 different customizable programs. For advanced users and research professionals, all units can be programmed with up to 11 independently adjustable temperature segments for temperature, time and pressure.
Outstanding safety and traceability measures
Our autoclaves have been designed and built to ensure user safety. All sterilization parameters are continuously monitored and recorded to ensure correct operation of the equipment.
Operation
Temperature
Pressure
Operation
In this initial step, the heating elements mounted at the bottom of the sterilization chamber heat up dramatically, transferring energy to the water to produce steam.
Temperature
Pressure
At 100ºC sterilization begins and the autoclave starts to calculate the F₀ reached in real time. Upon reaching the target processing temperature, the temperature is maintained for the duration of this phase until the reference sample reaches the target F₀. In some acidic products, sterilization occurs at temperatures below 100ºC. This crucial step is controlled by two PT-100 Class A temperature probes located on the wall of the sterilization chamber and inside the reference sample.
Temperature
Pressure
When the target F₀ value is reached, the fast cooling phase begins, with water being rapidly injected into the chamber while the pressure support is activated. Pressure control is essential to avoid damage or breakage of the containers due to the thermal shock caused by the injection of cold water into the chamber. The number and duration of water chamber fillings can be adjusted. The temperature at which the door can be opened can also be adjusted.
