What are hydromatic sterilisers

Hydromatic continuous sterilizers are used to help prolong the shelf life of popular foods, safely and hygienically in cans, glass jars, pouches and tubs. Consisting of four or more towers “legs”, each with a height of up to twenty five metres, these sterilizers function as follows:

  • The first leg serves as a preheating section, in which a hydrostatic column serves as an inlet lock
  • The second tower comprises the sterilizing section, where the product is heated to the required temperature with the help of steam or superheated water
  • After leaving the sterilizing section, the product carrier ascends through the hydrostatic cooling leg. With the pressure gradually decreasing and the product gradually cooling, spray water jets provide additional cooling
  • Finally, the cooling cycle takes place in the fourth tower at atmospheric pressure.

What are the main advantages of Hydromatic continuous sterilizers?

  • Very low energy consumption
  • Little floor space required, thanks to their vertical construction
  • Fully automatic operation, running 24/7
  • Uniformly consistent process for best product quality
  • Environmentally friendly
  • Advanced FDA-approved control system
  • Fantastic reliability
