In-Container Sterilization Solutions

Preserving food and beverage quality and extending shelf life through continuous or batch heat processing

JBT Container Sterilization, The Safe Choice

Sterilization is a hot topic. Quite literally, you’re harnessing the power of heat to make your products safer and longer-lived. It’s also a popular subject because it can be tricky to implement the right processes and machinery for your container sterilization needs.

That’s where JBT reigns supreme! Our sterilization technologies are designed to deliver the optimal combo of lowest unit cost, quality preservation, and extended shelf life for your packaged products. Paired with our breadth of experience, you know getting the proper food and liquid sterilization set-up is a sure thing.

Our equipment starts with your filled and sealed non-sterile containers — with the non-sterile food or liquid inside. The product then passes through the sterilization processing line, concluding with a fully sterilized container and contents. Using this proven thermal processing, our equipment:

Makes low-acid food products (pH > 4.5) safe to eat and drink
Pushes that expiration date further out
Negates the need for product refrigeration
Increases product stability
Seals in nutrition, freshness, and flavor
Eliminates the need for unnatural additives for product safety and stability
Enables wide retail distribution
