Autoclaves for the packaging industry

TERRA Food-Tech^® offers a line of autoclaves with counterpressure and fast cooling for the packaging industry to perform research, stress tests and longevity studies of new packaging materials in a reliable, comfortable and safe way.

Our autoclaves are compact, easy to install and have all the necessary technology to simulate most of the conditions with which an industrial autoclave works. With them you will be able to investigate new materials and containers, carry out quality control tests and manufacture pilot batches from your own laboratory.

Main applications

RESEARCH OF NEW MATERIALS AND PACKAGING

Quickly and agilely test new materials or containers in an atmosphere with controlled pressure. Performs stress tests, quality controls, research trials and pilot batches. Study the feasibility of your idea before producing it on an industrial scale.

TOTAL CONTROL OF ALL PARAMETERS

5” touchscreen with 50 programs, adjustable with up to 5 initial and 5 final segments, independently programmable for time, pressure and temperature. Temperature regulation by chamber or by F0 or P0, with on-screen display and recording of the real F0 and P0 values, with absolute traceability.

TOTAL CONTROL OF ALL PARAMETERS

ALL KINDS OF PACKAGING AND FOOD

Terra Food-Tech® compact autoclaves are designed to cook, pasteurize* and sterilize food in a precise and reproducible way in all types of packaging, including: glass jars, trays, bottles, envelopes, pouches, plastic containers or cans.

You tell us what container you want to work with and we can adapt our racks, baskets and load supports to your needs. We also have drilling kits and accessories to cover all types of applications.

*Pasteurization requirements may vary depending on the acceptance criteria of each country. Check local regulations to determine the suitability of our equipment for your specific application.
