The heat treatment in our Water Spray autoclaves is achieved by spraying pressurized water onto the baskets filled with products.
The water is heated by direct steam injection into the autoclave or indirectly with an exchanger.
This process ensures uniform and efficient heat treatment during heating, temperature control, and cooling.

In Air Steam autoclaves, steam is used to heat, cook, and sterilize products.
The fan ensures uniform heat mixing throughout the cycle. During cooling, pressurized water is sprayed onto the product rows.
The Air Steam process allows for energy-efficient, reliable, and rapid heat treatment.

The Bi-process combines both the steam-air process and the water spray process.
This approach is particularly effective for large-capacity autoclaves.
By combining these two processes, the Bi-process optimizes heat treatment to the maximum, ensuring better heat penetration, more complete sterilization, and reduced cycle time.

The Immersion process autoclave is even more efficient than a traditional kettle or vertical autoclave!
This horizontal autoclave completely immerses products in water during sterilization and cooling. The water used during the cycle is recovered for recycling in subsequent cycles, thus avoiding waste.

Our range varies depending on your production rate and capacity.

We offer autoclaves:

  • Du diamètre 700 mm au diamètre 2000 mm
  • From 1 to 12 baskets (depending on the diameter)
  • With one or two doors, either manually or automatically opening

Accessories (heat exchanger, pumps, nozzle arrays, etc.) are adapted to each solution combination.

Our autoclaves are suitable for all types of products and packaging. The integrity of flexible and fragile packaging is fully preserved.

The homogeneity of the heat treatment in our autoclaves allows the preservation of the organoleptic qualities of your products.

Thanks to even temperature distribution, our autoclaves reduce cycle time by up to 25%.

Manufactured and configured to measure, our autoclaves guarantee quality treatment and reinforce the food safety of your products.

Our autoclaves are equipped with a controller that controls the entire cycle. This makes using the autoclaves easier and safer for all operators.

Our autoclaves are designed to reduce energy consumption by up to 30%, or even more with the WatterloW system.

Handling accessories

An essential complement to our autoclaves, our handling solutions facilitate your loading and unloading operations and optimize your heat treatment. Baskets, racks, carts, dividers or feeders: we design the accessories to suit your products, production rates and constraints.

Improve product consistency

To improve heat transfer to your products, or for agitation during the cycle, we offer two solutions:

The Rocking system : products are tilted back and forth or sideways using a gentle, adjustable movement.
The Rotation system: products are rotated at a speed that can be adjusted to suit your needs.

Optimize your heat treatment

Thermocouple probes: these measure the core temperature of products in real time, and calculate the sterilizing or pasteurizing value to define and optimize the sterilization or pasteurization time for each product.
They can be used in the R&D development phase, or in production monitoring to ensure that products are properly heat-treated.

PackSensor: measures pack deformation in real time, and adjusts counter-pressure according to measured deformation. This tool guarantees pack integrity.

WatterloW: save water and energy

With WatterloW, you can recycle water and energy back into your production cycles.
This intelligent system reduces water consumption by up to 90% and energy requirements by up to 40%, without compromising performance.
