Autoclaves are used for the sterilization of packaged products that need to reach high temperatures (+100ºC) for the elimination or inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms.

Static autoclaves: these are suitable for any format and are used for food packaged in cans, jars and other flexible materials.

- Forced ventilation

- Shower system.

CONSUMPTIONS:

- Steam: Maximum flow rate 2100 kg/h. Approximate consumption 475 kg/cycle.

- Electrical energy in KW: 22kw

- Cold water in tn/hr: Flow rate 25m³/h.

- Compressed air in m³/min. The theoretical required to cool the autoclave in the worst air requirement condition (empty or with low load) is 2.91 m³/minute.

- Total amount of drainage in ton/day: Depends on the number of cycles. Approximately 0.8 m3/cycle will be drained from inside the autoclave at the end of the cycle. The water output of the exchanger will be the same as the water input during cooling, 25 m³/h.

- Total raw water consumption in tn/day: 0.8 m³/cycle final + 12-16 m³ cooling.
