Overview

The experimental kettle is a multi-functional experimental sterilization kettle, which can achieve spraying (water spray, sprinkling, side sprinkling), water immersion, steam, rotation and other sterilization methods, or a sterilization kettle with any combination of multiple sterilization methods can be applied to the food manufacturer's new product development laboratory, develop the sterilization process of new products, measure the FO value, and simulate the sterilization environment in actual production.

Product Details

Working principle of experimental kettle

Load the product basket into the sterilization kettle and close the kettle door. Then the kettle door is ensured to be safe through triple safety interlocking. Throughout the sterilization process, the kettle door is mechanically locked, Select the sterilization method using the knob or operation screen, and download the recipe toPLCAfter verification, start the sterilization program and automatically follow the sterilization formula throughout the process.

　　The spiral wound heat exchanger configured in the sterilization kettle, during the heating and cooling stages, the process water in the kettle passes through the shell side, while the steam and cooling water pass through the tube side. This ensures that the sterilized product does not come into direct contact with the steam and cooling water, achieving aseptic heating and cooling.

Throughout the entire process, the pressure inside the sterilization kettle is controlled by the program through an automatic valve to supply or discharge compressed air inside the sterilization kettle.

After sterilization is completed, the sterilization kettle will send a signal, and the door can be opened and the material can be unloaded. The triple safety interlock ensures that the kettle door will not be opened in the presence of pressure inside the pot, thereby ensuring operational safety.

The temperature distribution uniformity inside the sterilization kettle is ±0.5℃, pressure controlled within ±0.05Bar.

Advantages of experimental kettle

Accurate temperature control and thermal distribution

The temperature control module developed by DTS has up to 12 temperature control stages, and can choose step and linear heating modes according to the process formula of different products, achieving repeatability and stability between batches of products. The temperature can be controlled within ± 0.5 ℃.

Pressure control, suitable for various packaging forms

The pressure control module developed by DTS continuously adjusts the pressure throughout the production process to adapt to internal pressure changes in the product, achieving deformation of the product packaging. Whether it is rigid containers such as iron or aluminum cans, plastic bottles or boxes, or flexible containers such as inflatable soft packaging, they can easily meet the requirements, and the pressure can be controlled within ± 0.05Bar.

High cleanliness product packaging

The spray sterilization method uses a heat exchanger for indirect heating and cooling, so that the steam and cooling water do not come into contact with the process water. Impurities in the steam and cold water will not be brought into the sterilization kettle, avoiding secondary pollution of the product. There is no need for water treatment chemicals (no need to add chlorine), and the service life of the heat exchanger is greatly extended.

Compliant with FDA/USDA certification

DTS has experienced thermal validation experts and is a member of IFTPS in the United States. We fully cooperate with third-party thermal validation agencies recognized by the FDA, and the experience of numerous North American customers has made DTS familiar with FDA/USDA regulatory requirements and sterilization technologies.

Energy-saving and environmental protection

Adopting self-made high-quality spiral wound heat exchanger, with high heat transfer efficiency and energy saving.

Spraying uses a small amount of process water to quickly circulate and reach the predetermined sterilization temperature.

Low noise, creating a quiet research and development environment.
