SURDRY APR rotary retort with one basket. Assess this unit by comparing the actual load with the available floor space and the basket and trolley dimensions, without automatically equating it with current models from the manufacturer.

Loading dimensions: basket 495 mm × 450 mm × 550 mm and trolley 550 mm × 800 mm × 1200 mm. Overall dimensions: length 1.90 m, width 2.00 m and height 2.00 m. The listing specifies a design temperature of 150ºC, design pressure of 5 Kg/cm² and hydraulic test pressure of 6.8 Kg/cm².

Applications to assess include baby-food purées, sauces, cream soups and small loads of packaged foods. Agitation is useful only where the contents can move and both the food and container tolerate the movement.

Rotation does not identify the heating medium. Commercial sterilization, pasteurization or in-container cooking require a defined process for the recipe, container and configuration of this unit. Design and listing values are not process setpoints or confirmation of the equipment’s present condition; check them against its documentation. No cycle times, rotation speeds, savings or food shelf life are claimed.
