The versatile 2402 lab retort tests new product ideas and speeds products to market through a multitude of static and agitation sterilization modes. The R&D retort offers saturated steam, steam air, water immersion, water spray, and water cascade processes. Five easily changeable modular agitation modes are available — end-over-end, rocking, Gentle Motion shaking (low-speed), The Shaka Process shaking (high-speed), and axial rotation. The unit can handle cans, bottles, pouches, cups, trays, metals, glass, plastics, and double seam film and foil closures.
Refurbished retorts are equipped with the latest production version of the Allpax control software, whichis 21 CFR Part 11 compliant for recipe editing, batch logs, and security functions. The Allen-Bradley PLC-based HMI makes switching between sterilization processes fast and easy, creating an almost infinite number of processing possibilities as manufacturers look for optimum efficiency, quality, and taste.
