Vertical autoclaves with pressure support for the food industry

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-V Series autoclaves are used in a wide variety of applications and sectors such as commercial production, scientific research in universities, product development in the food industry, research in the packaging industry, and for training purposes at trade schools.

CFS V detalle1

High productivity for small manufacturers of packaged food

It allows the food to be cooked during the same process. Fast cooling to avoid overcooking the packaged product. Time optimization thanks to direct control over the F₀ - P₀ value, guaranteeing the correct pasteurization or sterilization. It respects the organoleptic and nutritional characteristics of the product.

Easy to use, with color touchscreen and memory for up to 50 programs

Adjustable temperature between 50 and 130ºC. Programs with up to 5 initial segments and 5 final segments, independently adjustable by time, pressure and temperature.

A. Heating phase
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.
B. Sterilization phase
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.
C. Cooling phase
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.
