Description and Working Principle:

Water Immersion Retort is usually composed of upper vessel and lower vessel. The top one is used to store preheated process water and recycle the hot process water before cooling process. The bottom one is the retort for sterilization.

After the food containers were loaded into the baskets and enter the retort, the preheated process water is delivered into the retort through water spreader on the top of retort, the water level was controlled and monitored by water level gauge outside the retort.

The steam enter the retort through the water spreader or additional steam spreader and heat the process water continually until the temperature rise to scheduled sterilization temperature.

The circulation pump recycle the hot water with a high speed and assure the uniform heat distribution inside the retort.

After the sterilization is completed, the hot water will be recycled to the top tank and stored for next batch sterilization. Then the cooling water will be filled into the retort directly to make the food container cool down.
