In the production of canned meat, the sterilization process is crucial to ensuring commercial sterility and extending shelf life. Traditional steam sterilization methods often face challenges such as uneven heat distribution, high energy consumption, and limited packaging adaptability, which can impact both product quality and production costs. To address these issues, DTS has introduced the steam air retort, an innovative technology designed to significantly enhance sterilization efficiency and stability, providing meat processing companies with a more efficient and economical solution.
1.Efficient Heat Transfer for Uniform Sterilization By utilizing a mixture of steam and air that circulates continuously, this system ensures uniform temperature distribution inside the retort (within ±0.3℃), completely eliminating "cold spots" present in traditional sterilization methods. For canned meat products in tinplate packaging, the system optimizes heat penetration, ensuring the core temperature reaches the required level quickly, preventing under-processing or overheating that may alter product quality.
2.Precise Pressure Control to Reduce Packaging Damage Risk The uniquely designed temperature and pressure control system allows real-time regulation of pressure throughout the heating, sterilization, and cooling stages, dynamically balancing the internal pressure of the retort and the can. This effectively prevents defects such as bulging, collapsing, or deformation caused by pressure fluctuations. Especially for canned meat products containing broth, the system minimizes the risk of content overflow, maintaining product appearance and seal integrity.
3.Significant Energy Savings for Cost Optimization The DTS steam air retort does not require steam discharge during the sterilization process, reducing steam consumption by more than 30% compared to traditional sterilization methods. This results in substantial overall energy savings, making it suitable for continuous production while significantly lowering operational costs in the long run.
4.Wide Compatibility with Various Packaging Formats The system is adaptable to multiple container types, including tin cans, aluminum cans, flexible packaging, glass jars, and plastic containers, offering broad versatility and enhancing product flexibility for manufacturers.
As a leading provider of food sterilization equipment, DTS is committed to offering full-process support for meat processing companies, covering equipment selection, process validation, and production optimization. The DTS steam air retort complies with USDA/FDA certifications, ensuring safety and reliability.
Empowering quality advancement through technological innovation—DTS sterilization retort helps the canned meat industry enter a new era of efficient sterilization.
