Steam is directly injected in the bottom of the retort for fast and uniform come-up. Water sprays running over the entire shell length intensely mix the steam and water and create a homogeneous temperature distribution that results in a uniform process throughout the retort. Indirect, sterile cooling via a plate heat exchanger saves water and eliminates the need for water treatment chemicals.
Features & Benefits
Reduced process time
Efficient heat distribution
Absolute flow meter and level probe
High quality design and construction
Micro cooling
Precise temperature and pressure control
Precise, reproducible execution of pre-programmed recipes

Sustainability Benefits
Maximizing water and energy consumption and helping customers reduce their footprint is core to our mission of making better use of the world’s precious resources. Our relentless focus on continuous improvement helps to optimize efficiency in our own operations and within the products we develop. With that in mind, the technology built into the JBT SuperStatic Retort manages the efficient use of heat through out the sterilization process to allow for maximized throughput and reduced stem and water consumption. Through a combination of the steam boost valve and process water flow, the retort provides extra heat when it is most needed and manages uniform temperature distribution throughout the process. The high efficiency heat exchanger is able to quickly transfer heat out of the final product, reducing cooling times. The JBT SuperStatic has shown a reduction in come-up time of up to 30% and cooling time reduction of up to 34%, allow your operations to be more efficient.

A technology break-through for static Steam Water Spray (SWS) retorts, our Low Energy Suction System (LESS) provides food processors more energy savings by employing a new, bolt-on system that reduces retort water volume by up to 45%, thereby significantly decreasing heating and cooling costs per process. LESS can be added to existing retorts as an upgrade kit and is available on new retorts as an option. The low water level system utilizes a suction manifold to spread the suction points out along the entire length of the vessel. This allows for a lower water level to be used during processing without causing pump cavitation.
Features & Benefits
Process energy cost savings of ~$20,800* per year, per retort (based on $5,200 per 1000 cycles)
Boiler water supply, filtering and treatment cost savings of ~$1,000* per year, per retort (based on $240 per 1000 cycles)
Total cost savings of ~$21,800* per year, per retort (based on $5,450 per 1000 cycles)
The target market for JBT Efficient Agitation (EA) technology is retortable rigid or flexible packages that contain products which benefit from linear agitation. EA provides recipe-driven linear motion within the retort to add product agitation which leads to faster product heating and cooling. Increased product agitation can also reduce clumping and/or burn-on for some products.
Principle
Acceleration in the EA Motion Profile is independent of stroke frequency
Efficient agitation technology uses a hydraulic platform which creates a flexible motion profile system
Motion profiles can be tailored to meet the thermal requirements for a specific product
Higher acceleration and/or stroke frequency can be used for viscous product
Lower acceleration and/or stroke frequency can be used for “delicate” product
Motion profiles can be changed at specific time steps within the thermal recipe to meet product and packaging needs.
Features & Benefits
Increase customer throughput with equal or improved product quality. (**)
Up to 40% reduction (*) in process time.
(*) Process reduction is product dependent (**) Potential to improve product formulation and reduce overall time the product is exposed to high process temperatures.
For some high quality products, indirect heating is not the most suitable solution. They require direct heating so the product can reach high temperatures very quickly followed by flash cooling to preserve color and vitamin content. In this case products are injected with steam, enabling temperatures of more than 150°C (302°F).Our SteriTwin Coil provides both direct and indirect heating and offers maximum efficiency, productivity and flexibility, with capacities of 6,500 liters per hour (28 gallons/minute) and up to 24,000 liters per hour (105 gallons/minute).
