Description
These Lagarde Type 2BE steam-and-air retorts are over-pressure autoclaves designed for reliable thermal processing of shelf-stable foods in cans, glass jars, pouches, and trays. Using direct steam injection with a high-efficiency circulation fan, they deliver uniform temperature distribution and precise over-pressure control, helping protect packaging integrity while achieving target values. Typical units feature a stainless-steel pressure vessel, static multi-basket loading and a PLC/HMI with recipe management, automatic cycle control, and batch data logging for full traceability. Utilities include steam, compressed air, and a recirculated process-water loop, which helps trim water and energy use compared with water-immersion systems. These retorts suit a wide mix of applications like ready meals, vegetables, soups, sauces, baby food, and dairy and offering a robust, easy-to-integrate solution for consistent sterilisation and pasteurisation results.
